On a sunny Sunday on June 28,1914 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were riding in a horse cart. When their motorcade came near the Miljacka River, which was about 100m away from where they started at the city hall, a bomb exploded.
It was thrown at the horse cart by N. Cabrinovic, a member of the “Black Hand” secret military group from Serbia, but he missed the target. The Archduke was lucky to have narrowly cheated death.
