I think that in the larger scope, many things are going to happen regardless...World War One would've almost certainly happened even without the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, but it might have happened later, might have taken on a different form....
But there's a great deal over which we *do* have free will. Things *can* be changed; if they can't, then there's not much point to living. The characters like to think they have no choice to comfort themselves with the decisions they've already made.
