In 1878 the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom occupied
Bosnia and Herzegovina.Many Serbs lived in this area,too.Like
in Slovenia and Croatia,that were parts of the austrian empire,
the austrians oppressed the slavonic majority.It was the time of
innereuropean imperialism.
The assasination of the archduke was one of the answers of the
slavonic people (in this case,Bosnian Serbs) who were fighting
for their freedom and independance from Austria.

Franz Ferdinand alienated many sections of Austro-Hungarian political opinion: Hungarian nationalists opposed his advocacy of universal male suffrage which would undermine Magyar domination in the Hungarian kingdom; both supporters and opponents of the Empire's existing dualist structure were suspicious of his idea for a third Croat-dominated Slav kingdom including Bosnia and Herzegovina as a bulwark against what was perceived in Vienna's Ballhausplatz (Foreign Ministry) as Serbian irredentism; and non-Catholics and anticlericalists were angered by his patronage (April 22, 1900) of the Catholic Schools Association.

Although Franz Ferdinand was seen outside Germany as a leader of the "war party" within Austria-Hungary, this was entirely untrue. In fact, the Archduke was one of the leading advocates of maintaining the peace within the Austro-Hungarian government during both the Bosnian Crisis of 1908-1909 and the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913

Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria-Este was an Archduke of Austria, Prince Imperial of Austria, Prince Royal of Hungary and Bohemia, and from 1896 until his death, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne. His assassination in Sarajevo precipitated the Austrian declaration of war against Serbia which triggered World War I. His name is often anglicized as "Francis Ferdinand," although this practice has waned in recent years.

The Austro-Hungarian empire of the early 20th century included what was subsequently Yugoslavia (now a collection of states including Serbia & Croatia).

A Serbian separatist group, known as the Black Hand, dispatched their hapless assassin Gavrilo Princip to kill the Archduke, as part of their ongoing resistance.

The archduke was a politcial force in the region of what was to become Yugoslavia after the first world war, and he was assasinated because of his political views, namely wanting universal sufferage for men in the region (the vote), which would have destabilised the power structure as was, and because he wanted to bring Bosnia and Herzegovina into the Slav kingdom.
