Part 5/9:
Gavrilo Princip was a member of a radical group called the Young Bosnians, which sought to overturn Austro-Hungarian rule in the Balkans. After the announcement of Ferdinand's visit to Bosnia in March 1914, Princip resolved to assassinate the Archduke. He and his associates sought assistance from the Black Hand, a secret society that provided them with weapons and training in Belgrade.
On the eve of his visit to Sarajevo, Ferdinand and Sophia arrived unexpectedly, and the day before their assassination turned out to be a pivotal moment filled with ominous warnings. Despite knowing the threats, they embarked on their journey with little apprehension.
