Gavrilo Princip assassinated Franz Ferdinand because Austria-Hungary was trying to form a Austria-Hungary-Serbia type deal. Many Serbians didn't want that. So yes, I believe the Gavrilo Princip achieved what he wanted to do, but he obviously never intended to set off a chain of events that is still felt to this day.

Gavrilo Princip wanted to kill Archduke Franz Ferdinand because he was a member of a nationalist group called the Black Hand, which sought to promote the independence of South Slavic peoples from Austro-Hungarian rule. The archduke represented the oppressive Austro-Hungarian Empire that was viewed as a threat to Slavic nationalism. By assassinating him, Princip hoped to ignite a movement for liberation and spark a broader struggle against imperial domination. This act ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War I.
Gavrilo Princip was a supporter of Serbia gaining independence from Austria. The Archduke Franz Ferdinand wanted to include Serbia with Austria.
Because Archduke Ferdinand disapproved of the Slavic people forming their own country. They were too afraid of him controlling the country. Also, Black Hand wanted independence for Slavic countries, and assassinating the Archduke got them attention. This was more likely to get them what they wanted (or so they thought).
Princip didn't like him, and the Black hand gang wanted Serbia to rise up and throw off Austria-Hungary rule.

Princip was a member of the Black Hand (a Serbian terrorist organization). He shot Ferdinand in the throat and his wife Sophia in her stomach. Franz Ferdinand cried out, "Sopherl! Sopherl! Don't die! Keep alive for our children!"Princip swallowed poison, but the poison failed and he was caught by an angry crowd and beaten. He was then transported to a Theresienstadt prison in Austria to serve a 20 year sentence. Two years into his sentence, he died of tuberculosis.Ferdinand

Gavrilo Princip was a member of the Black Hand, a a Serbian underground resistance group opposed to Austro-Hungarian government and it's occupation of Serbia. They did not want to be part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and they did not want to pay taxes to them. There is also some indication he had a personal dislike for the Archduke. Princip had tuberculosis and knew he was going to die soon. He assassinated the Archduke as a final act of "patriotism" believeing he would not live long enough to receive punishment.
