The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on June 28, 1914, by Gavrilo Princip sparked World War I. This event led to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia, triggering a series of alliances that plunged Europe into war. The assassination was motivated by nationalist sentiments among Serbs seeking independence from Austro-Hungarian rule.
