June 28, 1914 - During a parade in Sarajevo, Nedjelko Cabrinovic tossed a grenade into the automobile carrying Archduke Franz Ferdinand and wife Sofia. But Ferdinand knocked the bomb away with his arm and his driver sped away from the would-be assassin. A short while later, during the return drive, Gavrilo Princip pulled out an automatic pistol and killed both Ferdinand and his pregnant wife. Five weeks later, the continent of Europe erupted into World War I.
Wait, didn't we just end that thing above?
