How long did franz Ferdinand reign?
Franz Ferdinand never reigned. His father's brother, Franz Joseph, was the Emperor for sixty-eight years. The Emperor's only son, the cousin of Franz Ferdinand, committed suicide when the Emperor refused him permission to marry the girl he loved (see the movie "Mayerling"). With that suicide the old Emperor had no heir, and tried to make his brother, Franz Ferdinand's father, the heir to the throne, but the brother did not want it. So that left Franz Ferdinand to be the heir to the throne when his old uncle might die, but he just lived on and on and on. Franz Ferdinand was heir for more than fifteen years, but when he was murdered his uncle was still alive. The old Emperor outlived Franz Ferdinand by two years, dying in 1916.

Did franz Ferdinand die before he became emperor?
Yes. Franz Ferdinand had been the heir to the throne - next in line to be emperor - for quite a few years. He was the nephew of the old Emperor. The Emperor's son had killed himself, along with his fiancee, because the Emperor would not allow them to get married. When Franz Ferdinand was murdered the old Emperor had been on the throne sixty-four years, and everybody knew he had to die sometime soon. He did die two years later. But Franz Ferdinand was just about to get his turn, which was why he was killed. Franz Ferdinand showed signs of being a reformer, and of making concessions to ethnic minorities in the Empire. The Serbs feared that once he was on the throne he might be so conciliatory toward the ethnic Serbs in his Empire that they would lose all desire to get out of the Empire and be gloriously reunited with their kinsmen in a wonderful greater Pan Serbia. So, in effect, he was killed for being a nice guy.
