Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated on June 28, 1914, primarily due to rising nationalist tensions in the Balkans and opposition to Austro-Hungarian rule. The assassin, Gavrilo Princip, was a member of the Yugoslav nationalist group known as the Black Hand, which sought to promote Slavic independence from Austro-Hungary. The assassination set off a chain of events that ultimately led to the outbreak of World War I.
