00:00On 28th June 1914, the Prince of Austria-Hungary was on a visit to Bosnia with his wife.
00:07As he was passing through the streets of his car, he was screaming at people that
00:11at one point, his driver had turned the car in the wrong lane.
00:15Although this turn was taken by mistake,
00:17but what did anyone know that only the result of coming in the wrong lane
00:21would have to be seen by the world in World War 1,
00:24in which the death of four people and the loss of a couple of dollars.
00:28Yes, let's know how this mistake led the world to World War 1.
00:33Viewers, before World War 1, that is, in the early stages of the 19th century,
00:37the map of the world was very different from today.
00:40There were big states like the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
00:45The most important country here was Bosnia-Herzegovina,
00:48from where all these problems begin.
00:51The Austro-Hungarian Empire captured Bosnia in 1908 and began to control all its affairs.
00:57Most of the Slavic people lived in Bosnia,
01:00while there were many Slavic people in Serbia, the neighboring country of Bosnia.
01:04Therefore, there were sympathies between the people of both countries.
01:08But Serbia was not part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
01:11The Austro-Hungarian Empire wanted to attack Serbia and make it part of its empire.
01:17This would bring Serbia under their control, including Bosnia,
01:20and the distances between the people here would end.
01:23But the people here did not want this.
01:25The Slavic people were quite angry about this plan of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
01:30Their desire was that Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, where the Slavic people live,
01:35should become one free country, which should be called Greater Serbia or Yugoslavia.
01:40But for now, they had no choice but to hate the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
01:45Perhaps the Austro-Hungarian Empire would have attacked Serbia, but they were afraid of Russia.
01:51Because Russia did not want the Austro-Hungarian Empire to grow in this direction.
01:55Therefore, to fight Serbia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire joined forces with Germany and put them in the back-up.
02:01And Russia made an alliance with France.
02:03There, the nationalists of Serbia and Bosnia gradually began to form an organization for their freedom.
02:09On the first day, the purpose of the organization was to protest against the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
02:13But with time, this militant organization was formed and the blood was shed.
02:18During this time, another organization came into existence, which was named the Black Hand.
02:22The slogan of this organization was that the Greater Serbia or Yugoslavia should become one.
02:26To fulfill their purpose, this organization was ready to kill anyone.
02:31Meanwhile, a 19-year-old boy named Abrilo Principi,
02:35who had always dreamed of a free country, Yugoslavia,
02:38joined the Black Hand organization.
02:41Now they work day and night to find out how to get rid of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
02:45They also attacked the officers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
02:49But they could not get rid of the Empire in any way.
02:53In 1914, they were informed that the Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
02:57Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was going to visit Bosnia.
03:00As soon as this news was received, the members of the Black Hand were happy
03:03and a dangerous plan was going to be launched in their favor.
03:05First of all, the visit of Prince Archduke was made.
03:08The location of his room was found.
03:10It was found that he was going to inaugurate a new museum in the city hall.
03:14The Black Hand made a plan that their three shooters would be stationed at different locations.
03:19The Prince's car was also parked near the shooter.
03:21He would first throw a grenade and then,
03:23with cyanide pill and a sedative, he would also jump into the river.
03:27Their goal was that after killing the Prince, the killer would also die.
03:31And even if the cyanide pill didn't work,
03:33his death was certain after jumping into the river.
03:35This was being done because the Black Hand was a secret organization
03:39and they didn't want anyone to know about their plan.
03:43While the members of the Black Hand were making this plan,
03:46Gavrilo Princip, who had a passion for freedom since childhood,
03:49was making another plan to kill the Prince.
03:5228th June, 1921, was the day when this plan was going to be executed.
03:56The shooters sent by the Black Hand didn't have any experience in this work.
04:00When the Prince and his wife's car passed through the river,
04:03the first shooter, out of fear, couldn't throw a grenade.
04:07When the car passed by the second shooter, it started to shake.
04:10And as long as he was thinking, the car passed by him.
04:13Now all the responsibility was on the third shooter.
04:15In front of him, when the Prince's car passed by,
04:17he quickly threw the bomb.
04:19But his aim was not right.
04:21Instead of the grenade, the Prince's car fell a little far from his car,
04:24causing 20 people in the crowd to be injured.
04:27And no one was alive in the Prince.
04:29After doing this, he quickly took his cyanide pill,
04:32which was useless without the old money.
04:35He didn't take his life in the capture,
04:37but he just fainted a little.
04:39After doing all this, he entered the river as per the plan.
04:42But maybe he was unlucky today.
04:44On this day, the water of the river was just a little more than a meter.
04:48Because the river had dried up in this weather.
04:50The police arrived at the scene and arrested him.
04:53And thus, the conspiracy to kill the Prince failed.
04:55But the twist in the story is still left.
04:58Gavrilo Princip was still on his Kofia mission.
05:01After the bomb was dropped, the Prince and his wife were taken to security
05:04and transferred to secure places.
05:06Prince Argyu complains to his wife in anger,
05:09that we have come to visit your city,
05:11but you have bombed Mayastar Bagh.
05:14When the Prince is told that 20 people have been injured due to the explosion,
05:18the Prince changes his schedule and decides to go to the hospital instead of the museum,
05:22so that he can know the extent of the injuries.
05:25But the driver does not get the news of the change of schedule and route.
05:29The Prince comes back and sits with his wife in his car
05:32and leaves for the hospital.
05:34On the other hand, Gavrilo Princip stands on the road to the museum
05:37and waits for the Prince's car to attack him.
05:40Meanwhile, the Prince's car makes a turn in the lane leading to the museum.
05:43The driver, who did not know that the Prince had to go to the hospital,
05:46turns the Prince's car in the lane leading to the museum.
05:49In the same lane, where Gavrilo Princip is standing.
05:52The police tells the driver about the salute
05:54and tells him to turn the car and go to the hospital.
05:57While reversing, the car slows down
05:59and Gavrilo Princip does not have a better chance than this.
06:02Gavrilo Princip takes out his pistol and fires at the car.
06:05The Prince and his wife are killed on the spot.
06:08When the news of the Prince's death reaches the king of the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
06:11he attacks Serbia in a fit of anger.
06:14On the other hand, Russia, which was already supporting Serbia,
06:17thinks that the powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire wants to take over Serbia.
06:20That's why he stands in front of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the wedding of Serbia.
06:24There, Germany, which had already promised to support the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
06:28also comes against Russia.
06:30Seeing this, he takes out his pistol in front of France
06:33and attacks Germany together with Russia.
06:35France and Russia played a big role in suppressing the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
06:38That's why they took out their weapons in Germany's support.
06:41The UK, which had allied with France in the Middle East against the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
06:46also allied with France.
06:48As soon as they see this, Japan and the USA are also defeated.
06:51And instead of going to the wrong lane, World War I begins.
06:56It is said that if the French car had not gone to the wrong lane that day,
07:00perhaps it would not have died and World War I would not have begun.
