Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! I don't know Archduke Ferdinand, who is missed by others, is located in the hot spring town of Eliza, 10 kilometers away from Sarajevo. He has been here for the past two days to watch the exercise with Franz Konrad von Herzendorf, the Austro-Hungarian Chief of General Staff, who by the way also participated in the exercise. commander in chief.

After two days of watching, Archduke Ferdinand was a little tired, but because there was only one last day left to visit Sarajevo.

In essence, the marriage of Archduke Ferdinand was a kind of torture for the Archduke and his wife. Because in 1900, the Austro-Hungarian crown prince was forced by his uncle, Emperor Franz Joseph I, to sign a waiver. In this statement, the children born from his marriage with his wife Sophie, a commoner, cannot inherit the throne.

His wife Sophie Hotek is not a commoner by reason. She comes from a Czech noble family. However, because her family is too humble, it cannot be matched with the grand Habsburg family.

In addition to this, Sophie was once the maid of a Habsburg Grand Duchess named Marie Christine, who was eager to marry Ferdinand. One day Ferdinand changed his clothes to play tennis and left the small gold box he carried in the locker room. The mother of the archduke opened Ferdinand's small gold box, hoping to see a photo of her daughter, but this woman What my mother seemed to be seeing was a picture of the family's maid named Sophie.

Ferdinand did not give up love for the dignity of the family, he planned to marry this secret lover. This caused strong opposition from the Habsburg family members, but Archduke Ferdinand still went his own way and married Sophie Hotek, which made most members of the Habsburg family see it as a humiliation and refused to forgive him.

His wife was not forgiven either, and although Sophie was eventually awarded the title of Grand Duchess Hornberg, she had to endure endless humiliation. At royal banquets, she had to be last, and she was always the last seat at the table, away from her husband. Even at Saturday's Eliza dinner (a religious banquet hosted by the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary), Sophie was forced to sit between the two archbishops, patiently listening to her husband's pain, even though he was far from the palace in Vienna. No wife's toast' (Ferdinand can no longer mention Sophie's name in public or official settings).

Therefore, it is rumored that the Crown Prince Ferdinand went to Sarajevo this time to accompany his wife to relax, in order to relieve her huge pressure in Vienna.

The work of welcoming the crown prince in Sarajevo has already been carried out. In his decree requiring citizens to show hospitality, Mayor Fehim has written down the driving route of Archduke Ferdinand, including Epique Street (to and from the City Hall). the only way to go). He wrote the route in the hope that roadside citizens and shops would put the imperial flag and flowers on the street. In fact, on June 28, the citizens of Sarajevo hung a large portrait of Archduke Ferdinand on the walls and windows.

And Ilyich also summoned the assassins to distribute weapons, preparing to give the Ferdinands from afar a 'surprise'. On this morning, he distributed weapons to the three local assassins he had recruited and Prinship, who had come from Serbia. Prinship had a Browning pistol, Chabrinovic had a grenade, and Graberge had a Browning and a grenade. It was clear that the three of them were at the heart of the assassination.

He recruited three locals, the first two of whom were Serbs, Velis Chubrilovic and Tsvetko Popovic. As for the third person is a Muslim, this person's name is also very special, called Muhammad Basit.

In the end, in the allocation of everyone's positions, Ilyich chose a position near the Chumurya Bridge on Epique Street, with Popovich by his side. Chubrilovich, Mohamed Bast, and Chabrinovic stood at key positions along the river. According to the line, the Grand Duke's convoy will first encounter two assassins with revolvers, and before crossing the Chumurya bridge, standing with Chabrinovic,

He is holding a grenade. If all three miss, Prinship, armed with a Browning pistol, will do so before the convoy reaches the next bridge called the Latina bridge. If they miss, the convoy will meet Graberge, the only assassin with a gun and a grenade, not far from the Caesar Bridge.

The Ferdinands arrived in Sarajevo at 9:20, accompanied by the military governor Portiorek. Today Archduke Ferdinand wears the uniform of an Austrian cavalry general, with a blue tunic, black trousers, and a red belt. Wife Sophie is also elegantly dressed, wearing a white tulle and hat with a bouquet of red roses tied around the hat.

The Ferdinands first inspected the army upon arrival, then the Archdukes boarded a royal convertible and followed the lead car. The mayor and the police chief were in the lead car, and three vehicles of entourages followed behind the Grand Duke and his wife. 21 gun salutes were fired and the Royal Parade began.

The assassination plan designed by Ilyich is very clever, because it is multiple insurance. However, this plan has an obvious flaw, that is, it overestimates the dedication of the assassins. The two most critical positions in the assassination plan were given to the wrong people. One was Kubrilovic, a Bosnian who was neither trained nor timid. The second is Mohammed Bastet, a young Muslim who is probably not very serious about the Serbs. Not even a finger was moved as the convoy passed in front of them.

It was the turn of the third Assassin, Chabrinovic, who made his debut as an Assassin from Bulgrade. When the convoy passed the Chumurya Bridge, he opened the back cover of the grenade and threw it at the car of the Archduke Ferdinand. Fortunately, the driver of the Archduke was quick to see what the assassin was doing, so he accelerated. At the speed of the car, the grenade brushed the face of Grand Duke Ferdinand and hit the hood and was bounced away. It was under the accompanying car that was following Ferdinand. Then the grenade exploded directly. The explosion did not cause any serious damage to the car. The loss only wounded Portiorek's adjutant, as well as a few passersby on the side. Chabrinovic jumped into the dry riverbed to escape, but was caught by the police before he had time to swallow the poison (if he wanted to).

In the minutes after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was revealed, the Archduke's convoy accelerated, making the assassination attempt difficult. However, after seeing Chabrinovic miss, Prinship and Graberg, who were waiting for an opportunity behind the Grand Duke's driving route, evacuated their respective assassination sites for fear of police questioning.

At this time, Archduke Ferdinand and his party arrived at the City Hall, where they met with a delegation of Muslim women, and were preparing to give a public speech here. The scene of the speech is interesting, under a pure gold Moorish awning in Ottoman tradition, Archduke Ferdinand is greeted by a group of Islamic scholars in turbans, bishops in religious attire, imams in Ottoman robes.

It was almost 11 am when the speech was over. According to the schedule, the museum should be visited and then lunch, but this is the most congested Joseph Street. Archduke Ferdinand's military advisor advised not to go to the museum, but to the residence of Portiorec. Archduke Ferdinand is a person with a sense of honor. He chose to go to the hospital to condone the injuries of Portiorec's adjutant and other personnel, and then go to lunch, which is also considered a good trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Finish.

Since he had to go to the congested Joseph Street to go to the hospital, Portiorek insisted that the motorcade go on Epique Street, which is not too wide, to try to pass at a high speed to prevent anyone from throwing bombs.

At the same time, after the initial panic, Princip and Graberge got together again to discuss the next move. Among them, Graberge intends to use Caesar Bridge as his new position, where he hopes to shoot at close range, because the returning convoy will slow down here.

And Princip also occupies a new position on the road to the museum, it is opposite the Latina bridge, in front of Moritz Schiller's condiment shop, if Archduke Ferdinand sticks to the original schedule, then his car You will come from Epiquay Street, turn right here and slow down.

Both chose to wait for the Grand Duke Ferdinand's team to slow down before starting, because they only had a few weeks of training, and it was impossible for them to hit the Grand Duke Ferdinand in a high-speed car.

So the danger of publishing Archduke Ferdinand's driving route is shown, as long as the Archduke chooses one of the two destinations, his car will slow down in front of one of the two corners where the two assassins from Serbia are waiting for him. However, since Archduke Ferdinand insisted on choosing a third destination, and Portiorek decided not to take the Joseph Street and asked the convoy to proceed at full speed, these changes all weakened the possibility of the assassin's second attempt to succeed. If all goes well, then Prinship and Graberg can only watch the car speeding past, unable to aim.

The Ferdinands, Portiorec and others, together with the police escort who came to reinforce, left the city hall after 11 a.m. and proceeded at full speed along the Epique Street. For the sake of prudence, the order of the convoy was adjusted. The police car drove the mayor's car to follow, followed by the car of the Ferdinands and Portiorec, and there were three accompanying convoys behind.

The Count of Harrack, a close friend of the archduke, volunteered to ride the ploughman to the left of the archduke to prevent an attack from the river (where the previous attack was initiated). Now that the Grand Duke is in the middle of the high-speed convoy, it is very difficult for him to be attacked by bombs, and he will hardly be shot.

Graberge stood near the Caesar Bridge and could only watch the convoy passing by at high speed without turning. As the convoy approached the Latina Bridge, possibly due to Portiorec forgetting to inform everyone, the first two cars turned towards Joseph Avenue, and the third car, carrying the Crown Prince and Portiorec, followed. turned.

Realizing the mistake, Portiorec ordered the driver to turn back, and the driver of the Grand Duke Ferdinand, just in front of the condiment shop, slammed on the brakes and shifted hard into reverse. At this moment, Gavrino Prinship saw the target stand still at a distance of 2.5 meters in front of him, and the time lasted for about 2 to 3 seconds. Although Count Harrack acted as a bodyguard, his position was on the other side of the car. Prinship stepped forward, approached the target, and fired two shots from his Browning pistol, the first in the neck of the Volkswagen Archduke Ferdinand and the second in Sophie's stomach.

The Grand Duke's car finally turned around and headed in the direction of the official residence. The others in the car did not know that the gunshot hit the target. When it was discovered that something was wrong, the Ferdinands had died of serious injuries.

And the Gavrino Prinship, who caused tens of millions of casualties in the First World War, was quickly arrested by the surrounding police after the shooting. Sentenced to 20 years in prison in October 1914. Princip, who was in prison, underwent surgery to amputate his arm for health reasons, and died in prison on April 28, 1918, of tuberculosis.

The other people involved in the assassination were sentenced to Danilo Iric, Nedrico Chabrinovic, Nejo Kerovic, Mihayelo Jovanovic, Yakov Milovich was hanged (on appeal, Kerovich's sentence was commuted to 20 years and Milovich to life imprisonment). 20 years of hard labor for Princip, Chabrinovic and Graberg; 16 years for Vaso Chubrilovic; 13 years for Popovich - every June 28, the above 5 People should be confined in separate cells. The remaining six were sentenced to three years in prison to life in prison.

Only Mohammad Bast escaped to Montenegro, but was captured and executed in 1917.

The upheaval caused by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand has just begun.
