Where was franz ferdinand assassinated7/21/2023 The Policeman noticed and asked Cabrinovic who Princip was and why he was staring at them, but his suspicions were not raised. Cabrinovic’s easy going nature had already endangered the other assassins during the journey. This made Gavrilo Princip, who was traveling separately, but by accident sitting in the same train carriage, nervous. The policeman had recently seen Cabrinovic senior and struck up a conversation with Nedeljko to catch him up on family news. The detective was a friend of his father’s, a businessman and pillar of the community, and there was much conflict between the radical Nedeljko and his father. When the assassins travelled from Belgrade to Sarajevo, Nedeljko Cabrinovic, the biggest liability of the conspirators, met a police detective from Sarajevo on the train in Bosnia. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand happened as a result of a whole series of mistakes and missed opportunities right from the beginning. It was this combination of tragedy and comedy that first drew me to the story and, I hope will draw people to a novel about the assassination, despite knowing the ending. It is perhaps less well known that the events leading up to the assassination were a terrible comedy of errors that culminated in a world-changing tragedy. Everyone knows the story ends with the death of the Archduke and his wife, Sophie, putting into play the diplomatic crisis that led to the First World War.

The world was shocked by the assassination, which was not the first assassination to take place in the Balkans during this period. Ultimately that made little difference, for it was a Serbian that killed the Archduke and future leader of Austria Hungary. Princip was not representing the Serbian government instead, he was part of a dissident group that opposed the government. One was fatal for Ferdinand and the second for his wife. He’s saw his opportunity and took out his pistol and fired two shots. The car made a wrong turn and intersected with Gavrilo Princip, who was the third member of a group that wished to assassinate Ferdinand. They continued with the visit, and a second bomb was thrown, but this one did not explode. They were unijured, but one officer was hurt. On June 28, 1914, Ferdinand and his wife visited City Hall, there a bomb was thrown the car. He had been warned that visiting Sarajevo might be dangerous. As inspector General decided to visit Sarajevo, the capital of the province of Bosnia. He was also the inspector general of the army. ![]() The Serbians wanted to detach Bosnia from the Austro- Hungarian Empire.Īrchduke Frans Ferdinand was the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
