Nationalism

Nationalism is a political ideology that believes in loyalty to one's nation, usually based on ethnic connections, historical ties, or loyalty to shared institutions. Nationalism was the philosophy behind the creation of the Nation-State in the 1800s, resulting in the unification of Germany and Italy and the disintegration of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires along ethnic lines. Nationalism was always opposed by cosmopolitanism and in today's global economy, the dialogue between advocates of either tends to be tense.

Why did a serbian nationalist assassinate francis Ferdinand?

Bosnian Serbs wanted Bosnia to be free of Austria-Hungary, and liberate Serbs from Austro-Hungarian occupation.

Then, later that day, Gavrilo Princip suceeded in shooting and killing both of them.

The Austro-Hungarian government became furious and their rage forced them to make an irrational decision based on the few facts they've recieved. They immediately blamed all of Serbia for the dealth of the beloved couple.
