Sarajevo
28 Jun 1914 — Gavrilo Princip, a 19-year-old Bosnian Serb, shoots Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie at point-blank range — after the motorcade takes a wrong turn. Five weeks of diplomacy later, the continent is at war.
This is one scene of Chapter 1 — The Powder Keg in The Great War, 1914–1918.
