28th June 1914, Sunday.
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.
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.
i dont know but i'll guess 10,234 polices were on duty on that day
Oh, dude, it's like you're throwing me back to history class. So, like, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was actually assassinated in Sarajevo, which is in modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. It's like a pretty intense event that sparked World War I, but hey, no big deal, right?
Franz Ferdinand went to Bosnia to observe the Austro-Hungarian army maneuvers in the hills outside of Sarajevo. The day he was assassinated he was going back to the railroad station from the town hall of Sarajevo.
Gavrilo Princip, a member of the Serbian nationalist group known as the Black Hand, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. However, a failed assassination attempt earlier in the day by Nedeljko Čabrinović, another member of the Black Hand, prompted Franz Ferdinand's decision to alter his travel route, leading him directly to Princip.
He was shot once and so was his wife Sophie. i guess his lucky charms didn't work that day.
aproximatly 60,000 deaths on the first day. it started with the assasination of archduke franz Ferdinand and his no high status wife Sophie. (and she was pregnant) killed by serbian black hand gang. he was assassinated cuz there were slaves in their country. hope this helps ;D
He was an archduke, an heir to the Austrian Hungarian throne who was assassinated by a member of The Black Hand, Princeipt. he was the arch duke of Austria Hungary and was the first in line for the throne of the country. Franz Ferdinand would have become one of the most influential men in the world. He was to become emperor of Austria-Hungary, and, had he not been assassinated, Austria- Hungary might still have survived to this day. he was an interesting person, and if you would like to learn more, read his page in wikipedia.
The first assassination attempt on Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria occurred on June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo. A group of Serbian nationalists known as the Black Hand planned the attack, and one of the conspirators, Nedeljko Cabrinovic, threw a hand grenade at the Archduke's motorcade. The grenade missed its target, injuring several bystanders instead. The Archduke was unharmed, and the assassination attempt initially failed, but later that day, he was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip.
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.
