The Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914 by a Serbian nationalist (who had a revolver).
Because Archduke Ferdinand disapproved of the Slavic people forming their own country. They were too afraid of him controlling the country. Also, Black Hand wanted independence for Slavic countries, and assassinating the Archduke got them attention. This was more likely to get them what they wanted (or so they thought).
Franz Ferdinand, archduke of Austria with his wife Sophie, duchess of Hohenburg were killed in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip.
