Who would have thought sandwhich would cause such a catastrophe!!!!

During this time when the Austrian-Hungary empire was a mix of many cultural groups, there were a large number of people in the empire who didn’t want to be ruled by a monarch anymore and were looking to gain independence.

Bosnians and Serbians wanted to unite, and a group of men decided to take drastic action to highlight their cause. They were called the Black Hand Gang, and the most notorious member was named Gavrillo Princip — known for the successful assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand and his wife.

Arch Duke Frans Ferdinand in Sarajevo

In June 1914 the heir to the Austrian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, decided to visit Sarajevo to inspect the army.

Sarajevo was the capital of Bosnia, and there were many people there who wanted to independence from Austria. Bosnia was a small state which had been part of Serbia until Austria took it away and the Serbian people that lived in Bosnia were quite angry about this.

Franz Ferdinand had been warned that his visit could provoke trouble, but he ignored this advice and visited Sarajevo anyways. He wanted to demonstrate that his family was in control of Sarajevo and if he had stopped the tour, it could have been seen as a sign of weakness. Especially to those who didn’t want Bosnia and Sarajevo ruled by the Austrians.

Franz Ferdinand arrived in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 and was met at the railway station to be taken on to the City Hall for the reception and speeches.

What’s a Sandwich Got to Do With It?

Seven members of the Black Hand lined the route that the Arch Duke was to be driven through the city on. One of the men, Nedjelko Cabrinovic, threw a grenade at the Archduke’s car. The driver quickly sped away from the scene. The grenade bounced off the back of the Archduke’s car and rolled underneath the one behind, and exploded seconds later. Two people were injured.Cabrinovic swallowed his cyanide capsule as instructed, and jumped into the River Miljacka — which was only 2 feet deep. He didn’t die but instead was captured and arrested.

The other men along the route from the Black Hand had scattered out of fear of the failed grenade launch.

A Sandwich Sparked a War — The First World War

There were many factors said to have caused the outbreak of the First World War, but I’d argue it all started with a sandwich!

Ferdinand attended a reception at the city hall and complained about his treatment in the city. Later, the Archduke decided to visit the city hospital to see the people who were injured in the grenade explosion. It was decided that the motorcade should take an alternate route to the hospital, avoiding the city centre altogether.

The driver of Ferdinand’s car wasn’t informed of the change of plan, and so he took the original route.

Turning into Franz Josef Street, the general who was a passenger in the Arch Duke’s car noticed that they were taking the wrong route. He argued with the driver who then made a turn, slowed the car and began to reverse out of the street.

Gavrilo Princip who happened to be in Franz Joseph Street, buying a sandwich at a cafe, came out and realised the opportunity he had. He aimed at Ferdinand from a distance of five feet. His bullets hit the Archduke in the neck and his wife, Sophie, who was travelling with him, in the belly abdomen.
