14. Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sophie
The Trigger-
Austria-Hungary used to control the land known now as Serbia. They let Serbia become independent peacefully, but later wanted her back. Serbia was home to a number of Bosnian rebels who had been fighting Austria-Hungary for years in terrorist attacks.
Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife Sophie who was pregnant, went to visit the leaders of Serbia to show off the power of Austria-Hungary. Bosnian rebels, in Serbia, found out about the visit, ambushed the Duke and his wife, and killed them.
