The Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the heir to the Austrian throne and his death started World War I. He was killed by Serbians who did not want to be part of the Austrian empire. Russia said that they would help protect their Serbian brothers. So all these nationalist feelings led to the war.
he was the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary so presumably he was Austro-Hungarian
Franz Ferdinand never reigned. His father's brother, Franz Joseph, was the Emperor for sixty-eight years. The Emperor's only son, the cousin of Franz Ferdinand, committed suicide when the Emperor refused him permission to marry the girl he loved (see the movie "Mayerling"). With that suicide the old Emperor had no heir, and tried to make his brother, Franz Ferdinand's father, the heir to the throne, but the brother did not want it. So that left Franz Ferdinand to be the heir to the throne when his old uncle might die, but he just lived on and on and on. Franz Ferdinand was heir for more than fifteen years, but when he was murdered his uncle was still alive. The old Emperor outlived Franz Ferdinand by two years, dying in 1916.
The two go hand in hand, the assassination was the short term cause of the war. When you look at the war as a whole there were numerous long term causes such as the militarism, building alliances and imperialism of the major European powers of the time. So the was waiting to happen and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand was just the spark that ignited the fire, the war probably would have happened without the assassination but the assassination would not be as well known had it not started the war.
the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria caused different countries to to alliance with one and another so that if there was a war they would help each other, to protect the royals in the country. the more countries that joined each alliance began people to begin fighting for each country and this was when the out break of ww1 started.

because he was controling Serbia and the Serbians didnt like it so a group called the black hand formed and when the driver of Ferdinands car went the wrong way one of the members who was going to get a sandwich got a chance to shoot him, took it and killed him and his pregnant wife.He was assassinated by a Serbian Agent in Sarajevo. This gave Austria cause to declare war on Serbia. Thus starting WWI
The Battle of the Bulge was significant because it was the battle which liberated the Jews in the Nazi death camps. This battle was also the last German offensive of WW 2.

franz actes so strangly becasue he feels uncomfortable around the family when he was serving dinner because lieutentenant Kotler was present for there dinner that night
Not so much during his lifetime as afterwards.
nahh it ain't princip, it was some guy from the bosinian government he sent the black hand gang all the equipment they needed, that guy was also responsible for the cyanide being in-effective when the gang tried to kill themselves. :) Rania thats nt even answering the question :L by bobbi leigh It was Gavrilo Princip that killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand but i don't think he was the leader. when Franz Ferdinand was on the way see injured soldiers the whole of the black hand gang were lined up on the street ready to strike but they all missed and some pulled out so Princip left but the driver of Franz Ferdinands car had took a wrong turn and was heading straight for Princip so he took his chance and killed the Archduke but princip had a disase anyway and was going to die anyway so he tried to comit suicide afterbut the police came first he died of the disease later though. By Georgia
The first weapon was a grenade aimed at the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo, Bosnia. It did miss so another man shot him to death. This caused a crisis which begun WW1.
