Gavrilo Princip
It has now been clear that
Archduke Franz Ferdinand has
been killed on June 28, 1914. The
assassin turned out to be Gavrilo
Princip, a nineteen year old Serbian
assassin. Archduke Franz went to
visit Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia,
to talk about the large-scale of
military and movement requiring
care and skill in the mountains. He
was known as the representative
of the Oppressor. The people of
the Austro-Hungarian Empire, were
worriedly in shock on why he would
visit on this day, which was when
the Turks conquered the Serbian
kingdom at the Battle of Amselfeld
in 1389, and took revenge. It was a
very bad idea for Franz to display
his force of arms at this time. The
outcome of this turned out to be
such a violent and horrible
response because of how people
will respond to his death. Without
him, who would have public
authority to keep someone locked
up and victimized?
