The Assassination of Franz Ferdinand
This is incomplete, but I found it covered much of the incident. I especially liked the way the clip used artwork combined with moving images and interviews to describe the incident. Is there anything here that surprised you or was different from what you have already learned?

I thought it was interesting to learn how Franz Ferdinand was assassinated and to learn the name of the killer, Princip. I do have one question. How would they know that he was 20 at the time if the judge thought he was 19?

I thought the part in the beginning was cool when the narrator talked about what they did before Ferdinand's drive. I never new any of those moments ever happened. Is it true that they practiced shooting in a nearby park?

I never knew that when they made the wrong turn they were on the way to visit the bomb victims at the hospital.

In response to CC3, the video publishers most lkely looked up official birth certificates and worked back from there. However, I looked it up and apparently forgeries and bribery in court cases were fairly commenplace in foreign countries. The black hand most likely forged or payed off someone to ensure Princip wouldn't face death. Not that it mattered because Princip died of teberculosis anyway.

It was simply by a stroke of luck for Gavrillo Princip that gave him the chanve to shoot and kill Franz and Sophie Ferdinand. Yet, the worst bad luck for The Ferdinands to have been killed by a simple wrong turn.

They could look at legal papers and birth certificates for his exact age. JN3
