What country was Archduke Francis Ferdinand the Archduke of?
Ferdinand was Archduke of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, sometimes called the Hapsburg Empire (after the ruling family) or the "Dual Monarchy" (Austria AND Hungary). The Hapsburgs and their empire had been around for centuries, and controlled most of southeastern Europe. Besides the Austrians and Hungarians, there were dozens of other ethnic groups in this polyglot Empire, and dozens of languages spoken. The murder of Ferdinand was especially galling to the old Emperor, because he had been on the throne sixty years and knew he was going to die soon (he made it another two years). Ferdinand was heir to the throne, and groomed to take over. Ferdinand was in this position because the old Emperor's son had committed suicide around 1880, over not being allowed to marry the woman he loved, a commoner (there's a pretty good old black and white movie about this son and heir called "Mayerling"). So the old Emperor, Franz Joseph, had lost his only son and the original heir, and now he was deprived of his nephew, who was ready to take over. Incidentally, Ferdinand was killed because he showed signs of being a reformer. The Serbs were afraid that Ferdinand, once in power, would make so many accommodations to the ethnic Serbs in his Empire they would lose their nationalistic thirst to get out of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and be united with Serbia.

What Franz Ferdinand band song is about the actual death of archduke Ferdinand?
They do have a song that somehow tackles the assassination, and its title is "All For You Sophia", which is a B-side to their hit single, Take Me Out. It does not completely retell the whole story, it in fact, employs reiteration. It, however, makes mention of the important people and places, like Sophia (the Archduke's wife is actually Sofie, but the band decided to lengthen the name so that it would sound better), Gavrilo Princip, their "chauffeur" Franz Urban, and Appel Quay. :)

Why did Austria-Hungary go to war during World War 1?
Because Franz Josef I's (the ruler at the time) son was assassinated by Serbians.TehGrunt's Longer StoryAustria-Hungary entered WW1 because of long withstanding reason to believe Serbia was uniting the Balkans against it. Also, Archduke Franz Ferdinand (Franz Josef I's son) was indeed assassinated, but few of the assassins were Serbians.An ultimatum was sent to Serbia, but this ultimatum was written so as to be rejected, This ploy worked and Serbia began mobilization. Russia began partial mobilization, and thus the war beganCorrection - Franz Ferdinand was not Emperor Franz Josef's son. Franz Josef had one son, Crown Prince Rudolf, who committed suicide in 1889 (however, there are conspiracy theories that he may have been murdered).Franz Ferdinand was the son of Karl Ludwig, who was Franz Josef's younger brother. After Rudolf's death, Karl Ludwig was the new heir to the throne, however, he quickly abdicated his claim to the throne (he was already around 60 years old, and died of typhoid a few years later). This left Franz Ferdinand, as Karl Ludwig's oldest son, the new heir to the throne.Franz Ferdinand had three children who you would think would have been in line to take the throne. But the Habsburg family that ruled Austria had a rule that the Emperor had to be married to a woman who was a member of the ruling family in Another Country. Franz Ferdinand fell in love with a countess whose family did not rule a country; Franz Josef refused to accept their marriage, and only eventually did allow it after other emperors and kings convinced him, and Franz Ferdinand had to agree that his children would not be allowed to inherit the throne.So now it gets even more complicated... after Franz Ferdinand was killed to start World War I and his kids were unable to inherit, the throne should have passed to Karl Ludwig's second son, Otto. However, Otto had already died in 1906. So that meant that Otto's oldest son, Karl, became the new Emperor when Franz Josef finally passed away in 1916- Franz Josef was 86 and had ruled Austria Hungary for nearly 70 years!Karl ruled for almost 2 years before the Austro-Hungarian Empire dissolved at the end of World War I. Karl did not outlive his Empire for long, and died in 1922. Karl's son, Otto von Habsburg, was considered the "pretender" to the Austrian throne until just a few years ago; the current pretender is Karl von Habsburg, who is now an Austrian businessman. If he were emperor, he'd be Karl II.
