The Assassination of Franz Ferdinand

President Kennedy’s assassination is one of America’s most fascinating and infamous conspiracies. Though we still do not know who is actually responsible, evidence points towards the communistic Cubans as being the killers of our nation’s young president. Even Lyndon B. Johnson, the President inaugurated after Kennedy’s death said, “I’ll tell you something about Kennedy’s murder that will rock you…Kennedy was trying to get Castro, but Castro got to him first.” President Kennedy’s mysterious assassination can be revealed through the political assassin Herminio Diaz Garcia, the German film Rendezvous with Death and the Cuban mobster Santo Trafficante’s allegations as these prove the Cubans were the ones responsible for the theft of President

In this essay I will be outlining the key points in why the First World War broke out in 19 14. Many people tend to say "Because Archduke Ferdinand got shot." Still others have blamed it on the increased independence and Imperialism in Hungary to Russia’s growing military. If I had to answer the question myself, the answer would be all of the above, and more. The events from June of 1914 through August of 1914 can be described as one thing leading to another.

As advancements constructed and alliances formed, imperialism, nationalism, and militarism was able to involve numerous powers of the world. Not only making World War 1 so profound in history for decades to come, but leaving a lasting effect on all generations. Soon after learning about the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 by a Serbian terrorist group known as the Black Hand a strong sense of nationalism stormed in through many countries. Document 6 stated, “This war is determined by our obligation to our traditions and the world of culture.”

On June 28, 1914, the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand, was assassinated. That event marked the first phase of World War I (Grayzel 10). Soon afterward nations throughout Europe announced declarations of war. By the end of October countries as far away as Japan, China and Brazil had become involved (Grayzel 11).  Susan R. Grayzel in the “Introduction: The First World War and the Making of a Modern, Global Conflict” from The First World War: A Brief History with Documents”, explores a variety of contributing reasons for the Great War (Grayzel 9). The causes most

However, even if there are a lot of evidences that support the existance of the second sniper, some people and Warren Commission believe that the assassination was done by only Lee Harvey Oswald. Due to the examination of the penetration of the bullet, and the condition of Kennedy’s head after the shot have a possibility of alone crime. To know the bullet’s power of penetration, the examination which is to shoot the two piled pine woods has done, and the result shows that the bullet has enough power to penetrate the human bodies. In addition to the penetration of the bullet, another examination which is to shoot the compound of gelatin and glycerin indicated the stableness of the bullet while the bullet is passing through the body, and the

Kennedy was rushed to the hospital but his wounds were too fatal and he ended up passing away in the hospital due to the gunshot to the head. The three days following was the funeral of the president in Washington D.C. During the funeral hundreds of thousands of people stood by the casket to honor his death and to cherish his time as

On November 22, President John F. Kennedy was riding in downtown Dallas when three shots

Almost every person in the United States if asked can remember exactly where they were during a certain tragic event. People often associate themselves and their generation to a certain national tragedy or a group of national tragedies. For example, that part of Generation Y and some from Millennials would naturally consider the biggest and most devastating national tragedy to be the attacks on the World Trade Center buildings, on September 11, 2001. No other event in United States history has ever sparked such a wild debate resulting in countless amounts of conspiracies about September 11. Although, those attacks are by the books a national tragedy it was not the first of its kind. Decades before, a successful assassination attempt on the thirty-fifth president of the United States would shake the nation into the realization that no matter how well liked a person is there are always people trying to push them down. The major debate is whether or not Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman and if he had outside connections to groups that rivaled Kennedy 's administration. The John Kennedy assassination theory that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman is flawed proven by the evidence found after the incident and outside pressures that made certain groups prime suspects.

who knew him in the marines said he had a 'Pathetic Shot.' The gun he

There was then a third and final shot to the president’s head that killed him. After the assassination Oswald attempted to flee the scene and ended up killing Patrolman J. D. Tippit on a Dallas street after he tried to apprehend Oswald. Oswald was later arrested and taken to jail but along the way was murdered by a man named Jack Ruby who shot him at point blank range.

During this parade President Kennedy and Governor Connally and were shot while traveling through Delany Plaza at approximately 1230 hours. President Kennedy was struck by two bullets one in the back of the head and one in the rear of his neck. President Kennedy succumbed to these gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at 1300 hours. Governor Connally was struck by one bullet in the back. Governor Connally survived his injuries despite having a clasp lung. Lee Harvey Oswald was the primary suspect of this shooting. Due to an admittedly “flawed” investigation and conflicting witness statements this has given birth to one of the largest conspiracy topics in United States history.

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is a legendary event that impacted the world. This tragedy event shocked the nation and it made many people sad. So, we will read a brief description of John F. Kennedy, also where he was at before he got in the car where he got assassinated, and lastly talk about who kill him and everything that happened that day.

While there is never just a single event that has led to the start of a world war, or any other serious war, there is often one thing that triggers long lived tensions and thus war ensues. Such was the case in WWI with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. There were many tensions that existed prior to his assassination, but it was his assassination which triggered the war, his assassination that served as an excuse, and perhaps the last straw, so to speak, which led to the First World War. The following paper examines the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and its relationship to the start of WWI.

They took off again for this very purpose, however, the chauffeur unware of these plans took a wrong turn so an aid instructed him to stop the car and turn around, in which Gavrilo Princip one of the assassins, who by chance had drifted into a perfect position fired two shots at them but was detained after. As a result, the archduke opened his mouth and a gout of blood spilled so he turned to his wife to beg her not to die and collapsed after being shot in the neck dying minutes later although his wife who was shot in the stomach was already dead from the internal
