Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand

1. The account says that the three teenagers were brought into a room where Apis was and "He made the three put their hands on the skull and repeat the Black Hand oath:“By the sun which warms me, by the earth which feeds me, by God, by the blood of my ancestors, by my honor and my life, I swear fidelity (loyalty) to the cause of Serbian nationalism and to sacrifice my life for it.”" In the video this meeting did not occur and therefore we did not know of this happening.

2. News of the plot in the account spread to the Austrian Government, but reached the wrong person. It reached "Dr. von Bilinski, who didn't like the archduke". He mentioned it to General Potiorek, but he was reminded that people should not get involved with military matters. In the video, the news of the plot was kept a secret up unto the day it occurred.

3. Also, in the video, there is not much of a crowd around the potential assassins. In the account, it states, "One of them was standing too near a policeman to risk shooting. Another was pinned by the crowd." Therefore the video gives a false impression of the number of by-standers that were watching the parade.

4. The accounts says that, "Count Harnack, an aide, jumped on the footboard of the archduke’s car to guard him. “Don’t make a fool of yourself,” shouted Francis Ferdinand." However, in the video the Archduke is grateful for his protection, even though it did not really save him from the assassination.

5. Shortly after, the account states that Princip saw the Archduke and "immediately pulled out his revolver, walked over to the car, and shot the archduke in the neck." In the video, he did not walk over to the car, but instead took a shot from a distance.

This is an image of the Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. The Archduke and his wife, Sophie Chotek, have been shot. It shows the assassin, Princip, at the car, with his revolver pointing at the victims. This was the main event that sparked World War I.
