It’s not about sympathy, singular acts of violence are not usually effective at driving change. A whole movement using threats of violence as leverage tho?
I don’t think it’s a question of whether Princip worked alone, just that it was a single act of violence that precipitated a great deal of change. That being said, Franz Ferdinand’s assassination was just the spark that lit the proverbial powder keg. If it wasn’t that event, it would have been something else. The conditions for war had been in place for a while, just waiting for something to trigger it.
Arguably, it was more of a final spark on the powderkeg as there were several other things shortly beforehand that turned the family spat into the worlds problem

Archduke Franz Ferdinand would like a word
He would? Huh. Guess he got better

In a coordinated or at least commonality of timing. Or the problem of school shootings would have been resolved already
