Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was in line to become the next ruler and had a powerful role in the military, serving as the inspector general of the armed forces in 1913. His assassination in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a member of Young Bosnia, was the catalyst for the start of World War I. This event set off the July Crisis, prompting Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, which ultimately led to a chain of events culminating in a worldwide conflict involving their allies.
