Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was primarily opposed by Serbia, as his visit to Sarajevo in 1914 was seen as a provocation. The assassination of Ferdinand by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb nationalist, was supported by elements within Serbia who opposed Austro-Hungarian rule. This act of violence triggered a series of alliances and conflicts that escalated into World War I, with various countries aligning against Austria-Hungary and, by extension, against the interests of its allies.
