As Archduke Franz Ferdinand drove past Schiller's Cafe in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, his motorcade was unexpectedly halted due to a wrong turn. In that moment of confusion, Gavrilo Princip, a member of the nationalist group known as the Black Hand, took the opportunity to approach the vehicle and fired two shots, fatally wounding both the Archduke and his wife, Sophie. This assassination set off a chain of events that ultimately led to the outbreak of World War I.
