What did serbian nationalists hope to accomplish by killing archduke franz Ferdinand?

Serbian nationalists, particularly those associated with the Black Hand organization, aimed to achieve the independence of South Slavic peoples from Austro-Hungarian rule by assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand. They believed that his death would destabilize the Austro-Hungarian Empire and inspire a movement for liberation among Slavic populations. The assassination was seen as a catalyst for promoting nationalism and uniting various Slavic groups under Serbian leadership. Ultimately, this act contributed to the outbreak of World War I, which had far-reaching consequences beyond their original intentions.
