Fifty Years Ago Bloody War Ignited By Assassin Bullets
The Sarajevo assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and wife Sophie on June 28 1914 set off a chain reaction that triggered World War I. Gavrilo Princip and fellow conspirators plotted the deed in Serbia. The incident led to Austro-Hungary declaring war, Russia mobilizing, and a European conflict that reshaped nations. The scene at the bridge and museum memorials in Sarajevo highlight the enduring memory of the assassination and its role in Yugoslav history.
