After defeating the Turks together with the Serbs in the 1878 war, Austria annexed Bosnia and Herzegowina. This did not sit well with the Serbs, who had expected to build a "Greater Serbia", including the countries that Austria had now kept for themselves.
After that and moreover, the Serbs were often treated as second-class citizens within the Austrian Empire, the German Austrians and the Magyars of Hungary being the dominant groups.
The murder of Franz Ferdinand was plotted by a group of Serbian activists who saw his visit to Serajewo on the very commemoration date of the defeat of the Turks by the Serbs as a provocation. It is ironic that of all the people in power in the Austrian Empire, Franz Ferdinand probably was most in favor of more political rights and a form of autonomy for the Serbs.
After his murder, the Austrians issued an ultimatum to the Serbian republic that unless they agreed to an Austrian inquiry on Serbian soil (with the Austrians to have unlimited powers) Serbia would be invaded by Austria.

What event sparked the First World War?
The murder of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a pro-Serbian terrorist sparked the First World War. After the murder of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a pro-Serbian terrorist on June 28, 1914, fears and friendships among the nations of Europe caused them to fall like dominoes to the hand of the war. The Austrian government, assuming that the Serbian government was at least passively responsible for the assassination, issued an incredible ultimatum on July 23. Austria demanded that Serbia submit to its rule until Serbia was purged of anti-Austrian sentiments. Surprisingly, Serbia replied that it was willing to accept most of Austria's demands. Austria was not satisfied, however, and declared war on Serbia on July 28.
What was the significance of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand?
Because his assasination at Sarajevo led to WWI.AnswerThat is why WWI started but he's asking why Franz Ferdinand was OS important... Franz Ferdinand was so important because he was the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. When he was killed by Gavrilo Principe, Austria-Hungary declared war against Serbia. The war turned so big because the countries allied with Austria-Hungary (the Triple Alliance) also went into war against Serbia. Countries also allied with Serbia (the Entente Powers) had to get involved too. The war grew bigger because then comprimises were made to ensure more men. Like the British that joined the war, had the Indian Armies on their side because the Indians thought they'd get self-governship and Independence because they, at the time, were being ruled by and governed by the British.SinAznHoly (I sign my name at the end of almsot everything, this is my username.
