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.
Austria-Hungary, with the death of Archduke Ferdinand, declared war on Serbia, which caused a chain reaction of war induced countries. Austria Hungary to Serbia, then Russia to Germany, United Kingdom and so on.
The archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarejevo in Bosnia/Herzegovina.

Serbia, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated.
The Archduke Ferdinand was visiting the Serbia region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire when he was assassinated by a Serbian separatist. Of course, Serbia is now an independent nation.
