The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914, by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb nationalist, set off a chain of events leading to World War I. This act of violence in Sarajevo escalated into the July Crisis, with Austria-Hungary's ultimatum to Serbia, and subsequent declarations of war involving major European powers. The conflict's outbreak was fueled by complex alliances, nationalist fervor, and military strategies, such as Germany's Schlieffen Plan. The Sarajevo assassination had far-reaching global implications, reshaping the geopolitical landscape and influencing international relations for years to come.
