Archduke Franz Ferdinand Assassination
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sophie Chotek is considered by many historians to be the single most important immediate cause of World War One.
The book begins with an overview of the assassination itself; looking at what took place in Sarajevo on that fateful morning on the 28 June 1914 and answering the questions of who was responsible for the archduke’s death and why he was targetted in the first place.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand
The victim of the assassination is then looked at in more detail; covering Franz Ferdinand’s relationship with his uncle, Emperor Franz Joseph, and his morganatic marriage to Sophie Chotek, the Duchess of Hohenberg, who was also murdered in the attack.
Gavrilo Princip
Focus is then directed towards the assassin, Gavrilo Princip, where his early background and education is considered, as well as his relationship with the Black Hand. Princip’s trial and sentencing are also discussed, as are his death and legacy.
The Black Hand and Young Bosnia
The two secret societies pulling the strings in the background are then examined in turn, identifying those key figures in the Black Hand and Young Bosnia who played a part in the assassination.
Gavrilo Princip Sandwich
This is then followed by a look at the infamous Gavrilo Princip Sandwich, as well as some of the other myths surrounding the events that took place during and after the archduke’s assassination.
The Most Immediate of World War 1 Causes
Finally, the concept of the assassination being the most immediate world war one cause is discussed and whether or not the war could have been avoided despite the assassination.
