Arrest of Assassin after Sarajevo Incident |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Following the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, police arrest the suspected assassin. A chain of circumstances and mishaps brought the Archduke’s car in front of Gavrilo Princip, a teenage Serbian nationalist who went into Bosnia to assassinate him as part of a private plot with two friends. Princip killed the Archduke and his wife, but Austrian suspicions of Serbian government complicity meant that the Incident could not be passed over as the private action of a fanatic. The ramifications of the Incident led directly to World War I. | ||||||
