Assasination!!!:-0

On June 28th, 1914, The Austrian heir to the throne, Franz Ferdinand, and his wife, Sophie Cotchek, were assasinated by a nationalist Bosnian Serb while he was in Sarajevo on a goodwill mission. This is widely considered the "straw that broke the camel's back" for World War I. The Austro-Hungarians blamed the Serbians, because they had intelligence that the weapons came from Serbian sources. Therefore the conflict erupted, two months later, into open war which, because of a long chain of alliances, the Great Powers soon became involved in. next
