The victims of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination on June 28, 1914, included the Archduke himself and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg. They were shot by Gavrilo Princip, a member of the nationalist group known as the Black Hand, while their motorcade was passing through Sarajevo. The assassination set off a chain of events that ultimately led to the outbreak of World War I.
