What was the plan to get franz Ferdinand assassinated?
The Black Hand, a terrorist group from Serbia knew Franz Ferdinand was coming to their country, and they knew of his route. They had three different spots where they had a member of their group waiting for Ferdinand to come so they could kill him. At the first location, the terrorist jumped out and pulled his pistol on Franz Ferdinand, but the pistol misfired and the crowd tackled him. The second person just didn't even show up. At the third station was Gavrilo Princip and a friend. His friend threw a Molotov cocktail, but it rolled too far and went under a car behind Ferdinands. It blew up and that man was captured. Princip fled and went to a coffee shop. Ferdinand went to a friends house and enjoyed a dinner. When he was leaving he passed by the coffee shop and out comes Princip at that same time. The car was stopped, and Princip just pulled his gun and killed Ferdinand and his wife. This is the truth.

Who was The winner of the coral sea battle?
== == There was no clear victor. The Battle of the Coral Sea (between May 4 and May 8, 1942), to the east of New Guinea in the South Pacific, was considered a tactical victory for Japan since the U.S. lost a fleet carrier (U.S.S. Lexington), while Japan only lost a light carrier (Shoho). But at the same time, the battle was a strategic victory for the Allies because it forced the Japanese to abandon their attempt to land troops to take Port Moresby in New Guinea. Japan's expansion was stopped at this point, and the stage was set for the decisive Battle of Midway a month later. After Midway, the Japanese never stopped retreating.
The Battle of the Coral Sea was also significant because it was the first fleet action in which aircraft carriers engaged one another without ever sighting each other. It was the first naval battle in history in which neither side's ships sighted or fired directly upon the other. If the superiority of naval air power over dreadnoughts had not been proven at Pearl harbor, it was proven once and for all in the Coral Sea.
What is Australia like today to live in?
Australia is a fantastic place to live. Whilst the country does, of course, have its problems, these are minimal by comparison to some regions of the world. Compared to many parts of the world, pollution is low even in the cities, and certainly the air is clean and fresh a short distance from any city centre. Most cities have areas of bushland for people to picnic in and enjoy the wildlife. The beaches are excellent, and there are areas where the surfing is great and other areas where the beach is calm and safe for young children. Our water is clean and of very high quality, and fresh fruit and vegetables are readily available everywhere.
Further inland, the country is a paradise for anyone who likes a bit of privacy. There are vast, open spaces of the bush and the outback which are populated by little more than native animals, and many people enjoy camping in these remote areas. The weather varies depending on the region. Some areas are hot and humid; others can be cold and snowy in winter.
