An attempt on the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was made, which became the reason for the outbreak of World War I
June 28, 1914
Gavrilo Princip killing Franz Ferdinand. Drawing from the Austrian newspaper 1914.
June 28, 1914 in Sarajevo (Bosnia) the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Duchess Sofia Gogenberg were killed by Serbian schoolboy Gavrila Princip. The attempt on the Archduke was carried out by the conspiratorial group "Young Bosnia" ("Mlada Bosna"), which included six terrorists (five Serbs and one Bosnian), coordinated by Danila Ilic. The political goal of the assassination was the separation of the South Slavic territories from Austria-Hungary and their subsequent annexation to Great Serbia or Yugoslavia. And this crime was a direct cause for unleashing the First World War.
After the assassination of Ferdinand, "Young Bosnia" was banned. Ilic and two other participants in the attempt were executed. Gavrilo Princip was convicted as a minor for 20 years of hard labor and died of tuberculosis in prison. Other members of the organization were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment.
On July 23, Austria-Hungary presented Serbia with an ultimatum that contained demands that violated its sovereignty. They were going to enter the territory of Serbia with the troops to protect the Austrian citizens who were there, as well as an admission for the investigation of the murder of Franz Ferdinand of the investigators from Vienna.
Serbia partially rejected ultimatum, then Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia.
Thus, the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand served as a pretext for the outbreak of World War I, involving 38 independent states. About 74 million people were mobilized, 10 million of them were killed and died of wounds.

And in 1776, George Washington's personal chef, James Bestley, tried to poison the future president by serving him roast for dinner, richly decorated with fresh tomatoes. Washington did not suffer prejudices and ate everything with appetite, while the cook was so sure of the success of his plan that he immediately informed the commander of the British troops about the elimination of the commander-in-chief of the colonists. Washington lived for another 23 years, but for some reason the letter did not reach the addressee and lay in a cache for more than forty years until it was discovered in the same 1820. But if a little earlier, the revealed secret would have shaken the imagination of contemporaries by the enormity of the plan for using killer tomatoes, but now it will cause only smiles.
