Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was shot and fatally wounded.

Gavrilo Princip, a member of the Black Hand, assassinated the archduke using a revolver.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia.

The assassination was carried out on 28th June, 1914.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by the Black Hand in an attempt to make sure he didn't pacify the Serbians in Bosnia. Pacifying the Serbians in Bosnia would strengthen the archduke's position when he came to the throne but would also undermine Serbia's plans to unite all Slavs in a Greater Serbia - the Black Hand wanted an independent Serbia, free from Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman rule.

The main outcome of the assassination was the outbreak of the First World War. This happened in the aftermath of the assassination, during the 'July Days'.
