The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
In 1914, a Serbian terrorist group, the Black Hand, decided to assassinate the Archduke. They wished for Bosnia-Herzegovina to join a "Greater Serbian Kingdom" with Serbia and some other countries in the region. Seven young men who were part of the organization were sent to Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina to assassinate the Archduke.
The first two terrorists did not throw their grenades because it was crowded. The third, a man named Cabrinovic, managed to throw his, but it blew up on the car behind Franz Ferdinand's. Afterwards, Franz Ferdinand decided to visit the explosion victims. On the way, his driver took a wrong turn.
Just then, one of the seven terrorists, Gavrilo Princip, happened to be walking by. He shot both the Archduke and his wife, which sparked a series of events that led to World War I, a 20th century turning point.
