1. My topic is on the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He was 51 when he when he and his wife were shot and killed by Gavrilo Princip. This is said to be the started WWI. http://www.historyonthenet.com/WW1/assassination.htm

2. "Sophie dear, Sophie dear, don't die! Stay alive for our children."

3. In this picture it shows Archduke Franz Ferdinand arriving in Sarajevo. If you noticed there is military staff surrounding him. This might be because they are protecting him… but from what? Also the atmosphere is dusty and hard to see through. This could help cover and hide some unwelcoming people. In Sarajevo there was a group called The Black Hand that wanted to kill the Archduke. Their three attempts had failed, which was to bomb the train, so another terrorist named Gavrilo Princip stood up and shot two bullets as the train was riding by. The first bullet hit Ferdinand’s pregnant wife who died instantly and the other hit Ferdinand in the neck. Franz Ferdinand’s final words were, "Sophie dear, Sophie dear, don't die! Stay alive for our children."
