because arch duke franz fredinhand had been shot You really are an idiot. Everyone knows FF was assassinated in 1914, the act which sparked the first world war. Austria annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina to strengthen its influence in the Balkan region, something which had been threatened by recent nationalistic uprisings there relating to Balkan desire of 'pan-slavism'. Whoever wrote this above me is the real idiot because that is not what sparked the first world war. The war had already begun to erupt by 1908 when Bosnia and Herzegovina were seized by Austria.
They invaded Bosnia who at the time were rather close allies of Serbia. This made Serbia angry and thus forth they contacted Russia who were allies with Serbia. Russia then said that if Austria-Hungary do anything to Serbia, Russia will have to react. Then after the assassination A-H shelled the capital of Serbia and that started the war.
Austria-Hungary took Bosnia-Herzegovina from the Ottoman Empire in 1908, triggering what is known as the Bosnian Crisis.
Esad Kazazovic was born on April 24, 1908, in Travnik, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He was the heir to the Habsburg throne. He visited Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, which had been annexed by the Habsburgs in 1908. The Serbians that lived in the territory were very dissatisfied with the annexation, so they organised secret nationalist groups or joined one in Serbia. Gavrilo Prinzip, a member of one of these groups - the Balck Hand - assassinated Franz Ferdinand and his wife Maria on 28 June, 1914. With this event the WWI started.
