Hungarian Empire‚ Franz Ferdinand. We as Serbians and Slav ’s must celebrate the actions of Gavrilo Princip and must realise that he is a hero for Slav ’s over Europe.

1. Why Did International Tension Increase In Europe In The Period 1912 To The Assassination Of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in June 1914?
