No. They only wanted to promote 'freeing' the Serb population groups living in Austria-Hungary - such as the one living in and around Serajevo - and uniting them in a 'greater' Serbia. Originally the Black Hand had targeted the Governor of the region but when the terrorists found that Franz Ferdinand would come to visit Sarajevo, they selected him as a much more spectacular target.

The Black Hand by the way was a 'secret organization' of which there were several in eastern Europe and Russia. Although the Serbian government was sympathetic to them, the Black Hand did not command any troops with which it could have invaded Austria, even if it had wanted.
