If YOU were there... You walklng past a newspaper stand when a headline catches your eye: "Austria-Hungary's Archduke Francis Ferdinand Assassinated in
Sarajevo" Your first thought is, "Who's he?"You plck up the paper and read about the archduke and about the rising tensions In Europe related to his death. The article makes it sound like Europe is about to explode into war.

At this point, do you think the assassination will affect the United States? Why or why not?

In my opinion it would not affect United States were not interfering in the internal problems of European forces.

Since Monroe's doctrine, strengthened by Roosevelt Corollary, their focused was on different areas, and assassination of archduke was nothing something that would provoke American public.

Explanation:

There were also other crisis between European forces, including Balkan Wars, Moroccan crisis and many others and US didn't interfere.

Therefore, there is no reason for them to interfere, up until the moment when the States are provoked by someone.
