The Black Hand was a secret nationalist organization in the early 20th century, primarily composed of Serbian military officers and other nationalists. Founded in 1911, its primary aim was to promote the unification of South Slavic peoples and to resist Austro-Hungarian influence in the Balkans. The group is most infamously known for its role in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914, an event that triggered World War I. The organization's activities contributed to rising tensions in Europe, ultimately leading to the war's outbreak.
