I think a war between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Serbs was bound to happen with or without him.

did it have to be a world war is the question.

Good question. No, it didn't have to climax into a world war. Germany acted as instigators and declared war on Russia, France, and England. It could have been a localized ethnic war between the Austro-Hungarians and the Serbs, but the other European powers would eventually have to intervene and make peace.
