Practicing what I preach...

So contingency would be ... the opposite of "If Archduke Ferninand wasn't assassinated, WWI would still have happened?"

Right. A historian might argue that WWI was 'contingent' - that without the exciting event (the assassination) it would not have happened. On the flip side, historians have argued for a less contingent WWI - that by, say, 1910 or so, the war had become 'inevitable.'
