On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was assassinated while travelling to inspect troops in Sarajevo, Bosnia. His assassin was Gavrilo Princip, a member of the Black Hand organization that was calling for Serbian independence. The Archduke's death set into motion an unstoppable mechanism based on entangling alliances whereby most of the Europe was pulled into World War I.
