Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand

2. In the reading, news of the plot to murder the archduke spread to the Austrian government, but however, it reached Dr. von Bilinski, a man who did not happened to like the archduke. In the video, information regarding the plot was held a secret until the day that the murder happened.

3. In the document, it is stated that Princip celebrating the presumed success with a cup of coffee. This differs to the video's story because in the video, it is revealed that Princip was buying a sandwich after learning about the failure to the murder.

4. In the reading, Count Harnack, an aide jumped in front of the archduke while he was in the car to protect him. Archduke Francis Ferdinand is not grateful for that and yells “Don’t make a fool of yourself.” In the video on the other hand, the archduke is appreciative for the Count Harnack’s actions although it does not even save him from death.

5. In the reading, it is portrayed that Princip wanted to kill both General Potiorek and the archduke; he states that Sophie was collateral damage. This situation differs from that of the video’s, because in the video, Princip pursues the Archduke and his wife Sophie.
