caption_attribution_description: English: The first page of the edition of the Domenica del Corriere, an Italian paper, with a drawing of Achille Beltrame depicting Gavrilo Princip killing Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo. Deutsch: Titelseite der Domenica del Corriere mit einer Fantasiezeichnung von Achille Beltrame, wie das Attentat von Sarajewo sich ereignet haben könnte. Es gibt keine authentische Bildaufzeichnung. Die zeitgenössischen Fantasiebilder unterscheiden sich schon in solchen Details, ob Sophie links oder rechts im Wagen saß, oder ob Princip bei der Tat einen Hut trug. Gemäß einer Fotografie kurz vor dem Attentat saß Sophie rechts, ihr Hut war auch nicht ganz so üppig. Italiano: L’assassinio a Sarajevo dell’Arciduca Francesco Ferdinando erede al trono d’Austria, e di sua moglie.
context_page_description: The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir presumptive to the throne of Austria-Hungary, and his wife Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, happened on 28 June 1914 in Sarajevo. They were shot dead by Gavrilo Princip.
  Princip was one of a group of seven assassins. The leader was Gavrilo Princip, a member of the Black Hand secret society. The political reason for the assassination was to break off Austria-Hungary's South Slav provinces so they could be combined into a new country, Yugoslavia.
  This led to the outbreak of war in Europe at the end of July 1914. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Both country's allies became involved in the war.
