Archduke Franz Ferdinand was an absolutist monarchist who did not extend himself to the people. He saw no need to even visit Vienna, the heartland of the Austrian people. Though undoubtedly a decent and moral man based on activities such as attempting to grant greater autonomy to ethnic groups within the empire, he was not particularly well loved by the people.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated on June 28, 1914, by Gavrilo Princip, a member of the nationalist group known as the Black Hand. The assassination was motivated by nationalist sentiments among Serbs, who sought independence from Austro-Hungarian rule. Ferdinand's visit to Sarajevo was seen as a provocation, exacerbating tensions between ethnic groups in the region. His death ultimately set off a chain of events that led to the outbreak of World War I.
The most direct cause of WW1 was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
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.
A likely driving factor for Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassins was the desire for national independence among South Slavic peoples, particularly the Serbs, who sought to resist Austro-Hungarian rule. However, personal animosity towards the Archduke himself was not a significant motivating factor; the assassins were more driven by political and nationalist aspirations than by personal vendettas. Their actions were fueled by a broader context of ethnic tensions and the desire for political change rather than individual grievances.
The elimination of an ethnic group from society through killing or forced migration is usually defined as ETHNIC CLEANSINGor GENOCIDE.
