yes, last time it was the heir to the throne of the Austor-Hungarian empire and it was in what is now Bosnia. However you can say the Arch Duke was assainated over the isuse of who controlled the Balkans, which may or may not have something to do with todays events.

The big differnce though is that in terms of the world stage this si not a major plot.

Some times the weight of the world is so much so that the people being weighed down by its issues dont see the issues anymore because they are so busy in the thick of them.

And so no, people just dont learn.
