As the primary cause of World War I, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was perpetrated by Yugoslavian patriots (supported by Serbia) intent on breaking off portions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire that they believed deserved independence. Through this violence, they sought to gain political weight by which to force the Empire to make concessions to them.
The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand during a visit to the city of Sarajevo in 1914 sparked off World War I. The Archduke was the heir to the powerful Austria-Hungary empire who had recently taken control of Bosnia (Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia). Most Bosnians were fine with this but a group of terrorists believed Bosnia should be part of neighbouring Serbia. Supported by the Serbian Government, they plotted to murder the Archduke during his visit to Sarajevo. Their plot to throw bombs at the Archduke's car failed comically, but by sheer bad luck the Archduke's car later ran into one of the terrorists (Gavrilo Princip) and he was shot. This led to the Austria-Hungary Empire declaring war on Serbia, triggering a chain reaction that started the war.

His death highlighted the tensions and nationalist movements within the empire and the region.
