After the shooting Princip made to turn his gun upon himself but was seized and restrained by a man nearby, aided by several policemen. He was arrested and taken to a police station. In total eight men were charged with treason and Franz Ferdinand's murder. However under Austro-Hungarian law capital punishment could not be applied to anyone under the age of 20 when the crime was committed. Gavrilo Princip, whose precise date of birth could not be firmly established at his trial, was therefore imprisoned for the maximum duration, twenty years. He died however of tuberculosis on 28 April 1918.

It started of a guy named Gavrilo Princip. World War I started with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austria- Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 by a member of the Black Hand, a Serbian nationalist secret society.
He was a revolutionary who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. His group, The Black Hand, had planned the attack and wished to create disorder and terror, something they accomplished as the assassination is widely claimed to have started the first World War.
A Serbian Nationalist, or terrorist if you prefer, named Gavrilo Princip. He was 19. After killing the Archduke and his wife, he tried to commit suicide, failed, and was caught and imprisoned. He died in prison of tuberculosis a few months before the war his act touched off ended. He is still a hero in Serbia. Princip was a member of group called the Black Hand. These were Serbians who wanted to take away from the huge neighboring Austro-Hungarian Empire territory occupied by ethnic Serbs, and add this popultion and territory to the tiny nation of Serbia. The Black Hand was financed and encouraged by the Intelligence Service of Serbia. Princip and six others had tried to assassinate the Archduke on his way from the train station to downtown, but failed when the Archduke deflected with his arm a grenade tossed at his open car. The Archduke was angry and upset, and stayed only briefly in the town hall before deciding to return to his train and leave town, after stopping at the hospital to visit those injured in the grenade blast. On the way back to the train station his driver took a wrong turn. He realized his error and pulled the car over to the curb to turn around. He stopped right in front of the astonished Princip, who had gone undetected and unapprehended after the first attempt earlier. Princip pulled his pistol and started shooting, hitting the Archduke's wife first, in the abdomen. The Archduke was hit in the throat. The whole episode would almost be comical if it had not resulted immediately in the death of the couple, and then indirectly in the deaths of millions more over the next four years.
The first world war started because a group called the Black Hand Society {who were serbs} assassinated the Archduke franz Ferdinand {who was in line for the throne of Austria-Hungary} and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg. The person who killed him was called Gavrilo Princip.
