Today is the centennial of the assassination of Austria-Hungary's Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie. Both were fatally shot in the streets of Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, one of a group of six assassins lead by Serbian nationalist Danilo Ilić. Their deaths would ultimately trigger a era of conflict that would kill millions, tearing a part and dividing Europe until the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
