June 28 1914, the date of Franz Ferdinand death, majorly affected world history because his life sparked the start of World War 1.

Franz Ferdinand 's laws he passed late in life were in the wrong place at the wrong time, was able to contribute to his country 's army, and finally Ferdinand powered the chaotic war of World War
