It all began on the morning of June 28, 1914; that was the day that Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife (who was pregnant at the time) was both shot and killed by one of the members of the Black Hand Gang named Gavrilo Princip. Those two fatal shots sparked a war.
...STOP...WAIT....WHO IS GERVRILO PRINCIP?...
Gavrilo Princip was a Yugoslav nationalist associated with the freedom movement Mlada Bosna. Princip was the one who killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife in Sarajevo. The way the story plays out is almost a little unreal because who everything falls into place. Ferdinand was suppose to have been killed on his ride though the city; there were about 4 men placed in front of Princip but all had failed to kill him including Princip. After one of their men was caught after his failed attempt to kill the Archduke and then himself the others went off to talk things out and to see what went wrong. In the mist of their conversation, Princip decided he was hungry and went off to find himself a sandwich. With Princip decision to go and find himself something to eat, it started a chain affect for what was about to happen next. The Archduke driver made a wrong turn which placed them right in front of where Princip had found his food and that litlle coincidence gave Princip the opportunity that ended up sparking a war.
