Assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand

Many times has it been demonstrated that position and power in this world do not necessarily protect the great men of earth from violence and death. Sunday, June 28, while Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife were engaged in making a triumphal tour through Bosnia, they were shot down by a student, who sought in this way to avenge what he believed to be a crime against his country. The loss of the archduke is keenly felt, particularly by the aged emperor.
