Conflict & Tension 1894 - 1918: The Assassination of Franz Ferdinand

AQA GCSE history lesson on how the assassination of Franz Ferdinand happened in June 1914.

We start with a simple retrieval practice quiz. We then look at Gavrilo Princip’s past and discuss how Princip was one of many who had a deep hatred of Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia. We then look at the events of the 28th June and the movements of Franz Ferdinand that day, the pupils create an annotated map for this, we then, after watching a brief video clip and considering the aftermath, write a narrative on how events in The Balkan’s lead to the assassination. There is an optional bio-poem task on Princip also.

Hope you find this useful and it saves you some planning time.
