Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated on June 28, 1914, primarily due to nationalist tensions in the Balkans. He was viewed as a symbol of Austro-Hungarian oppression by Serbian nationalists, particularly by the group known as the Black Hand, who sought to promote Serbian independence. His assassination triggered a series of events that ultimately led to the outbreak of World War I.
