Detailed explanation-1: -Two shots in Sarajevo ignited the fires of war and drew Europe toward World War I. Just hours after narrowly escaping an assassin’s bomb, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to Austro-Hungarian throne and his wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, are killed by Gavrilo Princip .
Detailed explanation-2: -The assassination set off a rapid chain of events, as Austria-Hungary immediately blamed the Serbian government for the attack.
