Monument to Gavrilo Princip (1894-1918) the Bosnian Serb student who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Belgrade, Serbia

---

Gavrilo Princip (5 July 1894 - 28 April 1918) was a Bosnian Serb student who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife Sophie, Duchess von Hohenberg, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. The assassination gave Austria-Hungary the pretext it was looking for to launch hostilities against the Kingdom of Serbia and thus precipitated World War I.
