As the key event that prompted the outbreak of World War I, the 'assassination in Sarajevo' took place on June 28, 1914, and was followed days and weeks later by various declarations of war that soon led to the world-wide conflict. Killed in the attack was the Austro-Hungarian Empire's Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife.
He was shot once and so was his wife Sophie. i guess his lucky charms didn't work that day.
Gavrilo Princip shot Ferdinand and his wife with a Fabrique Nationale model 1910 32ACP pistol. There is a picture of this type of pistol at the related link below.
In his last hour on June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was in Sarajevo, where he was scheduled to inspect military maneuvers. After surviving an assassination attempt earlier that day, he decided to visit the injured in the hospital. However, during his journey, his driver took a wrong turn, leading them to a street where Gavrilo Princip, one of the assassins, happened to be. Princip seized the opportunity and shot both Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, fatally wounding them.
The first person who attempted to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand was Nedeljko Cabrinovic, a Bosnian Serb nationalist. On June 28, 1914, he threw a hand grenade at the Archduke's motorcade in Sarajevo, but missed, injuring others instead. Later that day, Cabrinovic attempted to take his own life by swallowing a cyanide pill, which failed, leading to his capture. The assassination attempt ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War I.
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.
In June 1914 when Franz Ferdinand rode through the city streets to visit Serjevo, then Gavrilo Princip shot him and Sophie (Ferdinand's wife). Because of this Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, through alliances the outcome was Britian, France, and Russia against Germany, Austria-hungary, The Ottoman Empire (present day Turkey), and Bulgaria - making it a global war.
General Potiorek advised Archduke Francis Ferdinand to leave the city of Sarajevo due to concerns about potential threats and the rising tension in the region. Following an assassination attempt earlier that day, Potiorek believed it was unsafe for Ferdinand to remain, fearing further attacks. The decision was also influenced by the chaotic atmosphere and the need to ensure the archduke's safety amid increasing nationalist sentiments. Ultimately, the suggestion to leave, however, led to a series of events that precipitated World War I.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated on June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a member of the nationalist group known as the Black Hand. The assassination occurred during a visit to Bosnia, where Ferdinand was targeted due to his association with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was seen as oppressive by Serbian nationalists. Princip shot Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, during a failed assassination attempt earlier that day, when their motorcade accidentally passed by him after a bombing. This event is widely regarded as the catalyst for World War I, leading to a series of political alliances and conflicts.
Nedeljko Čabrinović, one of the six Black Hand members attempting to assassinate Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, swallowed a cyanide pill after failing to blow-up Ferdinand's car with a bomb.Čabrinović's luck was terrible on June 28, 1914: The bomb bounced off the back of Archduke Ferdinand's convertible and rolled under the next car in the motorcade, detonating and wounding 20 people; Čabrinović quickly swallowed his cyanide pill and jumped into the Miljacka River, but the river was only a few inches deep at that point, and the cyanide only induced vomiting. The police quickly captured Čabrinović, but allowed the crowd of onlookers to beat him before taking him into custody.Of course Franz Ferdinand's luck was much worse that day. Gavrilo Princip shot him in the neck and killed him about 35 minutes later.
