archduke Ferdinand was archduke of Austria-Este, prince imperial of Austria and royal prince of Hungary and Bohemia. From 1889-death he was the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. His assassination in Sarajevo precipitated Austria-Hungary's decleration of war against Serbia. This caused countries allied with Austria-Hungary(triple alliance) and Serbia(triple entente powers) to declare war on each other starting World War 1.

Franz Ferdinand was an Archduke of Austria-Este, Prince Imperial of Austria and Prince of Hungary-Bohemia. He was the heir for the Austro-Hungarian throne before he and his wife (Sophie) were assassinated on a visit to Sarajevo by a member of the Black Hand. His assassination is usually pointed to as the spark that ignited WWI, though nationalist and imperial tensions had been colliding for sometime.
