Became known as the spark that began World War 1.
The assasination of the heir to Austro-Hungarian Empire, Archduke Franz Ferdinand on 28th June 1914.
A 19 year old Serbian man named Gavrilo Princip assassinated the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Ferdinand's wife Sophie, otherwise known as Sopherl
Ferdinand is known now as the man whose assassination touched off World War I. The nephew of the Hapsburg emperor Franz Josef, Ferdinand was first in line to the Austro-Hungarian throne when he visited Sarajevo in June of 1914. He and his wife Sophie were shot to death as they rode through the city in a motorcade on 28 June; the assassin was Gavrilo Princip, a member of the Serbian nationalist group known as the Black Hand. The shooting led to war between Austria and Serbia, which escalated into World War I.
Not exactly, but it is one of the major things that started it. The assasination of Franz Ferdinand is known as what caused it, but it was truly from many events over a long time, such as imperialistic foreign policy. Gavrilo Princip was angered by what Franz Ferdinand had done to Serbia , he stated his only regret was killing a woman (Franz Ferdinand's wife, Sophie Chotek).
In June of 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was visiting Sarajevo and riding through the city in a motorcade when he was felled by the bullet of an assassin. His wife was also killed. The killer's name was Gavrilo Princip, a 19-year-old member of the Serbian nationalist group known as The Black Hand Society. This event is considered significant because it caused a chain reaction of consequences which eventually led to the outbreak of World War I.
He died in what was technically a "province" of Austria-Hungary, actually the disputed Balkan region known as Bosnia and Herzegovina. Though still nominally a part of the Turkish Empire, it had been ceded under the Congress of Berlin. When Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated on June 28, 1914, they were visiting Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina (which had been occupied by Austria-Hungary in 1878 after 400 years under the Ottoman Empire). The separatists who killed him wanted to form an independent Slavic state, and were encouraged and armed by Serbia.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie were shot and killed by Gavrilo Princip on June 28, 1914. He was a member of the Serbian separatist organization known as the Black Hand.
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.
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.
spark of WWI?
It was started out of outrage over the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie at the hands of Serbian nationalist secret society known as the 'Black Hand" isn't entirely correct.
