Best Answer

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the heir to the throne of Austria - Hungary in 1914. He was assassinated in Sarajevo along with his wife Sophie. Ferdinand was shot by 19 year old Gavro Princip, a member of a group of Bosnian Serb seperatists.

Ferdinand was not a hugely popular figure but his death at the hands of Serbian backed assassins was the catalyst for the first world war.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was heir just before the war started, but his assination was the cause of the war itself. His successor was Archduke Otto, but in 1916, two years before the end of the war, he died and was succeeded by Archduke Robert, who lasted until well after the war.
