    Franz Ferdinand was practically asking for it.

    He rolled through Sarajevo in an open-top convertible - in a city full of anti-Austrian rage - and the exact parade route was published in the paper, like a personal invitation to The Black Hand.

    One assassin lobbed a grenade at his car, but it bounced off and blew up the vehicle behind him.

    Did they cancel the visit? Nope. Later that day, they decided to visit the wounded - by driving the same route. After a wrong turn, the car stalled right in front of Gavrilo Princip, who didn’t miss his second chance. He just stepped forward and pulled the trigger.
