Gavrilo Princip was a member of Young Bosnia- the term used to describe anyone or any group in favour of the destruction of Austria-Hungary. The Serb's wanted Bosnia, which was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Gavrilo thought that by killing the heir to the Austrian throne, he would stir up trouble and get Bosnia back.
Archduke Ferdinand was killed because he was an important Austro-Hungarian prince, and that empire controlled Serbia which had an independence Resistance group who felt that killing the Archduke would force the Austrians to give control of Serbia to the Serbians.
Princip was a Serbian nationalist who believed the territory of Bosnia, which Austria had just annexed, should belong to Serbia's slavic empire. Killing the heir to Austria's throne might get Austria to hand over Bosnia, or at least make a statement.
Gavrillo Princip was one of six assassins involved in the plot to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were shot dead, sparking the beginning of World War I.
