WHY ARCH DUKE FERDINAND WAS THE PERFECT TARGET

For some years I've been wondering why Freemasonry would condemn Arch Duke Ferdinand to death. Now I have two very good reasons:
1. Ferdinand had stopped many wars on Serbia by Austria-Hungary before his assassination;
2. Ferdinand and Kaiser Wilhelm II were apparently very good friends.

Regarding reason 1, with Ferdinand out of the way, his anti-war presence was absent during July. If the Black Hand/Freemasonry had assassinated anyone else then he may well have wanted to, and been able to, stop any war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia. This is why Rasputin was assassinated by British agents Oswald Rayner and John Scales, to remove his strong anti-war presence and influence over Tsar Nicholas.

And regarding reason 2, although upon hearing the news of Ferdinand's death Wilhelm, who was on a yacht at the time, raced back to Berlin to try to keep the peace. But could Ferdinand's death have provoked some kind of wish for revenge within Wilhelm, just enough to open him up to war? Why did Wilhelm race back to Berlin to keep the peace yet give Austria-Hungary the "blank cheque" support, allegedly hoping that Austria-Hungary would react very quickly, before Russia could mobilise?

But what happened was:
1. Wilhelm gave the "blank cheque" support, expecting/hoping Austria-Hungary to do something about Serbia very quickly;
2. Bethmann-Hollweg then persuaded Wilhelm to go on holiday in Norway;
3. Bethmann-Hollweg then kept Wilhelm out of the loop while Austria-Hungary slowly prepared an ultimatum, with Bethmann-Hollweg's full knowledge;
4. as the weeks went by, while Wilhelm was in Norway lacking intelligence on developments, Russia was able to get into a position to mobilise;
5. Austria-Hungary issued its ultimatum to Serbia on 23rd July, 18 days after the "blank cheque" support had been given;
6. Wilhelm only found out about the ultimatum on 25th July, and from a newspaper, and immediately started back to Berlin, where upon his arrival Bethmann-Hollweg was admonished by Wilhelm for allowing the situation to develop thus.

Wilhelm had previously backed down from possible wars, leading to von Moltke calling Wilhelm "timid".

So what was different about this war?

It was possibly personal.

Just enough to drive Wilhelm into war.

And Grey's offer of British neutrality on 1st August (which led to Wilhelm getting the champagne out and declaring war on Russia) and then withdrawing the offer of neutrality claiming that it was a 'misunderstanding' was just another ploy to drive Wilhelm into war when he was known for backing out of potential war.
