It might be hard to see him as a ‘HERO’ but he represented a swathe of nationalities, who felt hopeless against the might of a seemingly all-powerful empire and he really is too important to the story of World War 1 to leave him out. But every discussion on the topic undoubtedly includes one incident: the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Nedeljko abrinovi ( Serbian Cyrillic: 20 January 1895 23 January 1916) was one of the Young Bosnian conspirators who planned the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on 28 June 1914. Instead he died in prison 3 years later, having been the touch paper to the start of World War 1. Updated on JFranz Ferdinand (December 18, 1863June 28, 1914) was a member of the royal Habsburg dynasty, which ruled the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Princip killed Franz Ferdinand on the 28 th June 1914, and turned 20 on the 25 th July. Princip was captured and should have received the death penalty but Austro-Hungarian law dictated that no one under 20 could be put to death. It would take only a single crisisthe assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife Sophie Chotek by a young Bosnian Serb nationalist in.
He shot dead Franz Ferdinand and his wife. Realising he’d gone the wrong way, Franz Ferdinand’s driver reversed back…past Princip again, who couldn’t resist the opportunity.

But by bizarre and horrible coincidence, Franz Ferdinand’s driver took a wrong turn down a street, thereby driving straight past Princip and his gun. Princip withdrew to a cafe to nurse his disappointment. Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie one hour before they would be shot a killed by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip as they drove through the streets of Sarajevo. On the 28 th June 1914, Gavrilo Princip and his pals quickly gave up on killing Franz Ferdinand when they found their plans going awry. Gavrilo Princip, who shot the bullet that started World War 1
