hey,
the reason why Franz Ferdinand was assassinated is because Gavrilo Princip was a member of the secret society called the Black Hand who were a pan-slavism nationalist movement with the intention of uniting all of the territories containing south slav populations annexed by Austria-Hungary. So, basically, Austria-Hungary took over some territories (in this case Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the serbs were, of course, kinda pissed at this so, in the name of uniting all Slavic people, the Black Hand decided to take down the heir to the thrown of Austria Hungary who, unfortunately, happened to Franz Ferdinand.
Essentially, it was Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie's deaths that started WWI cause then Austria-Hungary was eager to blame the Serbian government (when it was actually a free thinking, rogue nationalist group who had nothing to do with the government). So DErbia called on their ally Russia who couldn't sit by and watch this go on and bang: WWI started.
im currently doing an assignment on this whole thing so yeah, sorry about the mass of info.
