101 years ago today, on June 28th, 1914, in Sarajevo, Bosnia. The Archduke of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, were assassinated by a Bosnian Serb Nationalist named Gavrilo Princip and his 6 other accomplices all trained by and associated with Austria-Hungary's rival, Serbia. This event triggered a series of treaties and ultimatums that eventually led to a 4 year bloody conflict in 1914 to 1918 we now call World War One.
