Franz Ferdinand

Your random history lesson of the day. (Because it pertains to my 20th Century Project). Franz, also known as Francis, Ferdinand was the Archduke of Austria-Hungary in 1914. In early July, he and his wife were driving through the town of Sarajevo, Bosnia, when 19 year-old Gavrilo Princip stepped out of the crowd and opened fire. This event triggered world war 1, one of the bloodiest military conflicts of all time.
