Sarajevo

June 28th, 1914
Sarajevo, Condominium of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria-Hungary
Franz-Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria, Heir to the Throne of Austria-Hungary and his wife have been shot!  The Archduke went to the city, in the unstable parts of the Empire fully knowing danger.  He arrived early on the morning of the 28th by train, getting into a 1911 Gräf & Stift 28/32 PS Double Phaeton as part of a motorcade.  Around 10:10 AM a Vaso Čubrilović hurled a bomb at the Archdukes car.  The bomb bounced off the car and exploded under the next one, immobilizing it and over a dozen people in the street.  At the Town Hall, the noticeably stressed Archduke gave a speech thanking the people of Sarajevo.  The motorcade then moved away.  In front of a Schillers Delicatessen, a Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian, shot the Archduke and his wife.  They died in the car on the way to the governors house for treatment.  Both assassins were caught and await trial.  The cities of Bosnia are filled with riots against the authority of Austria-Hungary that have required the military to put down.  In response, anti-Bosnian pograms have been conducted by members of the German and Hungarian communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as Croatia.  In Serajevo, Germans have attacked Bosnian businesses, houses, and have left two dead with little police intervention.
