His occupation was being the Crown Prince. Eventually he would have become the Emperor.
the main spark that set everything in to motion was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Princip Gavrillo(the guy who killed Franz, to avoid any confusion)
becase he was Austrian and he came on ther holy day. if any 1 looks at this from upton high it alex and your gay.
There are no widely recognized records or credible evidence to suggest that Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria had any illegitimate children. His personal life was relatively private, and he was married to Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, with whom he had three legitimate children. While rumors and speculation can arise regarding historical figures, no substantial proof has emerged regarding any illegitimate offspring.
There was no single event that started World War 1. There were many events, which over time, led to the massive breakout of World War 1.Many claim that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, done by a gang named "The Black Hand" while Ferdinand visited Serbia, started all of the chaos. However, had Germany not given Austria the blank check (which basically informed Austria of Germany's friendship in case of any wars), Russia would not have come to the aid of Serbia and entered the war. If Germany had not entered neutral Belgium (which violated an unwritten law of Europe), Great Britain and France would have not been involved.Thus, there was not one single event, but multiple events that ultimately led to the total war known as World War 1.The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of AustriaArchduke Ferdinand was assasinated.
No. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was carried out by a separatist group unaffiliated with any national government.
i dont have any idea!
Gavrilo Princip was part of an underground resistance group that opposed Archduke Franz Ferdinand's rule, and the occupation of Serbia. He assassinated the Archduke as an act of patriotism and also because he did not like him.
Franz Ferdinand had 3 children
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was working towards revamping the Austro-Hungarian Empire in such a way that all of its many ethnicities would be represented, as opposed to the system at the time in which only Austrians and Hungarians wielded any power. This threatened the plans of a Serbian separatist group, who felt that the Archduke's idea would prove popular among the locals whose support they needed. They assassinated the Archduke and his wife on June 28, 1914 in Sarajevo, providing the spark for World War 1.
Presumably, this question is asking about Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Empire of Austria-Hungary, who was assassinated in 1914.He was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist, Gavrilo Princip, who was essentially hoping to provoke strife in the Empire and enable the Serbs in the Empire to secede to Serbia. This is a simplification, and in any case the topic is debated. However, this is the essential element of the most widely held view of whyArchduke Franz was assassinated. This assassination led directly to the beginning of the First World War.
The assassination of Franz Ferdinand led to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia which led to Russia mobilizing, followed by Germany declaring war on Russia, which led to Germany invading Belgium, followed by Germany declaring war on France, followed by Britain declaring war on Germany. This chain started with the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and all of these powers were pulled into WWI by treaties and alliances made with other European powers.
== == Yes and no. Gavrilo Princip was connected to a secret organization in Serbia called the Black Hand (or "Unification or Death") which wanted all the lands populated by South Slavs to be under one government. Most of these places, aside from Serbia, were part of Austria-Hungary before World War I. The Black Hand apparently recruited a number of Bosnian students, including Gavrilo Princip, to assassinate Franz Ferdinand, and provided them with weapons and support. The Archduke was the heir to the Austrian throne and also an important reformer in the Habsburg government who wanted to reorganize the empire to give its Slav subjects more say. Serbia absolutely did not want this to happen, because that would mean that it would be less of an influence on Slavic nationalists in Austria-Hungary. Franz Ferdinand was inspecting the Austrian army in Sarajevo on an important Serbian holiday, Vidovdan, when he was assassinated. Princip's group had five chances to kill him along his route (they were spread out along it) and they screwed up all five times, although one of them wounded a bunch of people with a bomb. Franz Ferdinand continued to the town hall where there was going to be a reception, but afterwards decided to visit some of the victims of the bombing in a hospital instead of leaving the city as he had planned. Princip was in a shop getting a sandwich when he saw the Archduke's car coming by (it had taken a wrong turn). So he shot him and attempted to shoot the governor of Bosnia but got the Archduke's wife instead. So yes, there was a conspiracy, but it was a nationalist conspiracy supported by Serbia and didn't involve anyone in Austria-Hungary. The driver was definitely not involved (in fact, he was rewarded by the last emperor Charles I). He was a Czech named Leopold Lojka and he had no reason to want Franz Ferdinand dead (he certainly didn't seem to be a nationalist, but even if he had been, Czech nationalists rather liked Franz Ferdinand at that point), and it's reasonable to think that he just took a wrong turn because he hadn't gotten the change in plans. The Black Hand and other Serbian nationalists wanted to kill Franz Ferdinand purely because of his political beliefs and his status as the heir apparent -- nobody had any idea it would start World War I.
