Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. While driving on a bridge during a parade, 8 men from Serbia, armed with crude bombs and weak pistols, set out to kill the Archduke. The first few didn't do anything at all. Then the 4th one threw his bomb but when it hit the back of the car, it didn't blow up. It exploded about 3 seconds later and injured many people. The next 3 didn't do anything either. The driver made a wrong turn; instead of turning left, he turned right and went down the road. While he was making a U-turn, the 8th shooter shot off 2 bullets. The two bullets that were fatal hit both him and his wife. They both died.

What country was Archduke Francis Ferdinand the Archduke of?
Ferdinand was Archduke of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, sometimes called the Hapsburg Empire (after the ruling family) or the "Dual Monarchy" (Austria AND Hungary). The Hapsburgs and their empire had been around for centuries, and controlled most of southeastern Europe. Besides the Austrians and Hungarians, there were dozens of other ethnic groups in this polyglot Empire, and dozens of languages spoken. The murder of Ferdinand was especially galling to the old Emperor, because he had been on the throne sixty years and knew he was going to die soon (he made it another two years). Ferdinand was heir to the throne, and groomed to take over. Ferdinand was in this position because the old Emperor's son had committed suicide around 1880, over not being allowed to marry the woman he loved, a commoner (there's a pretty good old black and white movie about this son and heir called "Mayerling"). So the old Emperor, Franz Joseph, had lost his only son and the original heir, and now he was deprived of his nephew, who was ready to take over. Incidentally, Ferdinand was killed because he showed signs of being a reformer. The Serbs were afraid that Ferdinand, once in power, would make so many accommodations to the ethnic Serbs in his Empire they would lose their nationalistic thirst to get out of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and be united with Serbia.
