@littlecornersofeurope: The Assassination of Franz Ferdinand, Sarajevo, Bosnia. One of the most important things to see in Sarajevo is the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie agreed to accept an invitation to travel to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia despite being aware of the terrorist activities carried out by the nationalist group "Black Hand." An agent of the Black Hand named Nedjelko Cabrinovic threw a hand grenade at the archduke's vehicle at 10:10am as the archduke's procession passed the main police station. When the driver noticed the flying item, he sped up, and the bomb detonated underneath the wheel of the following vehicle, injuring two of its occupants as well as a dozen bystanders. According to legend, Franz Ferdinand yelled at local authorities, "So, you welcome your guests with bombs?!" The archduke's driver was driving to the hospital where the wounded were recovering when he made a mistake and turned onto a side street, where nationalist Gavrilo Princip, then 19, was waiting. Princip walked up and fired his gun, hitting Sophie in the abdomen and the archduke in the neck as the automobile retracted. Both passed away before getting to the hospital. #bosnia #sarajevo #franzferdinand #ww1 #worldwar1 #instatravel #natgeotravel #balkans #photography #photooftheday #wanderlust #vacation #castle #travelling #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #traveltheworld #travelblogger #world #worldtraveler #europetravel #eurotrip #europe #england #ig_europe #photographer #landscape

Interesting enough the assassination of Franz Ferdinand was more of the last drop for WW1. WW1 was inevitable even if the event never happened

So, at 19, while drinking his coffee he saw Ferdy and decided to shoot him? Out of nowhere? Sounds strange to me
