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.

After the assassination of Caesar what protagonist drives the rest of the play appear?
The protagonist who can be considered to drive the rest of the play after Caesar's death is Marcus Antonius. It is because he turned the tables against the conspirators through his speech at the forum, Rostra. This led to the driving away of Brutus and Cassius from Rome as a result of which they started the preparation of raising an army, calling their friends for support and planning the rest of the future with a fight to Antony. Antony rose to be a foremost person in the second triumvirate consisting of Lepidus and Octavius. He was determined to take revenge of Caesar's death from Brutus and his party, so he went ahead with hi plans of marking the people for sending to exile or for giving black sentence. The execution of these plans led to the battle at Phillipi where Brutus and Cassius committed suicide. So, in a way the whole storyline and the activities of the rest of the characters were based on Antony, his plans and his actions. Therefore, Antony emerges out to be the leading character after Julius Caesar's death.

How long did the media cover the assassination of jfk?
If you look on the Internet, you will find that articles are to this day appearing on the subject. So counting all media coverage, JFK's assassination has been covered for over 50 years. The most intensive media attention was of course during the first one to two years, from the assassination itself until the Warren Report investigating it that appeared about one year later, and then another year with media polemics about the fact that there was much doubt about its conclusions.
The ongoing media attention is basically caused by the fact that many people simply don't accept that one guy (according to the Warren Report conclusion) armed with a non-automatic rifle that moreover proved to have a faulty visor could have scored three bullseyes in a matter of seconds from a great distance on a moving target.
Add to that the fact that the assumed shooter (Lee Harvey Oswald) claimed in one of the few short statements that he made before he was himself killed 'that he had been set up', and the stage was set for an endless stream of conspiracy theories over the decades in which the co-assassins or co-plotters were alternatively named as the CIA, the FBI, pro-Castro elements, anti-Castro elements, the Mob, big business, the Russians and a number of others. All these possibilities were extensively and sometimes convincingly argued, but the fact of the matter is that not a shred of hard and unrefutable evidence has ever turned up to substantiate those theories. So the media attention will continue, every time someone else turns up with a new convincing theory.
