    According to Wikipedia, he would later go on to form a rock band in Scotland.

    You are joking, of course. On June 28, 1914, Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, were assassinated in Sarajevo, while on a visit to Serbia, which then was a province of Austria-Hungary. The assassination was a precipitating event in the clash of alliances that produced World War I. The assassin was a Serbian nationalist, Gavrilo Princip.

  • Richard Norton said:
    Franz Ferdinand (18 December 1863 – 28 June 1914) was an Archduke of Austria-Este, Austro-Hungarian and Royal Prince of Hungary and of Bohemia, and from 1889 until his death, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne. His assassination in Sarajevo precipitated Austria-Hungary's declaration of war against Serbia. This caused Germany and Austria-Hungary, and countries allied with Serbia (the Triple Entente Powers) to declare war on each other, starting World War I.

    Perhaps if we told him to duck, we could prevent the start of World War I.

    1900-1919(?) - FF was killed in 1914.
  • Jellyshots said:
    Well if was taken anytime after 1914 that would be a story. Sorry about the war lads that Franz Ferdinand is still alive and living in Brazil.....oops....
  • charlesgigault said:
    Quite so. He escaped with a submarine to Argentina. But some will have it, that he was a croupier in a French casino, continually shouting: "Rien ne va plus!"
