Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.67,0:02:24.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is actually a fascinating story, because

Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.75,0:02:29.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is completely botched.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.97,0:02:43.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they were able to get their hands on him.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.50,0:02:58.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thinking about how botched their whole attempt was,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.52,0:03:00.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and while that was happening,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.65,0:03:03.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a mistake on the part of those planning
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.10,0:03:05.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,archduke Franz Ferdinand's route
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.97,0:03:08.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as he was traveling within Sarajevo

Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.08,0:03:14.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So he sees suddenly that they've taken the wrong route

Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.99,0:03:23.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they should have been more careful.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.90,0:03:38.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they try to back up
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.41,0:03:39.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which makes things even worse
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.43,0:03:41.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because then the car starts stalling.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.03,0:03:43.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Gavrilo Princip just walks up to the car
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.84,0:03:45.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and is able to shoot
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.43,0:03:47.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sophie.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.30,0:03:49.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just to give you a sense of how important this is:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.35,0:03:52.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria is the heir,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.94,0:03:56.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he is the nephew of Franz Joseph,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.16,0:04:00.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who was the ruler of Austria-Hungary,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.61,0:04:02.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so he is the heir to the empire.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.81,0:04:06.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he gets assassinated by Gavrilo Princip.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.76,0:04:18.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so... Franz Ferdinand Assassinated
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.24,0:04:20.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by Gavrilo Princip.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.33,0:04:21.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we have right over here
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.78,0:04:24.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a picture of right after Gavrilo Princip...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.66,0:04:27.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- I believe this is him over here -
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.05,0:04:30.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right after he was arrested.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.97,0:04:33.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just to get a little sense of how this was tied
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.69,0:04:36.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to this whole Yugoslavian
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.97,0:04:38.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nationalistic movement,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.48,0:04:40.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is what he said once he was arrested:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.95,0:04:43.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I am a Yugoslav nationalist..."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.23,0:04:46.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"...aiming for the unification of all Yugoslavs, ..."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.57,0:04:48.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"...and I do not care what form of state..."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.73,0:04:52.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"...but it must be free of Austria."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.16,0:04:55.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this act, this assassination,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.52,0:04:57.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,motivated by a nationalistic movement,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.97,0:05:00.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,motivated by a desire to maybe merge
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.30,0:05:02.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Bosnia-Herzegovina with Serbia
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.57,0:05:06.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe eventually Croatia with Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.23,0:05:08.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this assassination as we will see in the next video
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.04,0:05:12.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the trigger for all of World War 1.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.12,0:05:14.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the reason why it triggers it is because...
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.30,0:05:16.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,-- well there's many things you can cite;
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.23,0:05:18.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you could argue that many of the empires in Europe
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.56,0:05:22.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are already militarizing, already had a desire for conflict.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.93,0:05:26.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then you also had all of these alliances
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.15,0:05:27.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that essentially allowed the dominoes to fall
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.89,0:05:28.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in all of Europe
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.77,0:05:29.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and because they had these empires
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.64,0:05:31.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,essentially much of the world
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.10,0:05:32.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be at war with each other
