== Behind the scenes ==
* ''Family of Blood'' only refers to Ferdinand as an "Archduke of Austria", while the ''Human Nature'' novel calls him "Archduke Ferdinand". Because of the need to distinguish him from other Ferdinands, this wiki requires a name beyond simply "Ferdinand". Thus, we deem him to be "Franz Ferdinand", since ''Human Nature'' gives its readers so many other specific indications that the real-life Ferdinand is being referenced.
** Franz Ferdinant has since been confirmed as the Archduke's full in-universe name by ''The Dalek Project''.

Franz Ferdinand
You may wish to consult Ferdinand for other, similarly-named pages.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the Archduke of Austria, the heir to the Austrian throne who was assassinated in Sarajevo, Bosnia (PROSE: Human Nature) on 28 June 1914. (COMIC: The Dalek Project)

He was killed, along with his wife, by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist protesting Austria's claims on Sarajevo and the rest of Bosnia, territories the Serbs believed were rightfully theirs. (PROSE: Human Nature) According to the Tenth Doctor, at the moment of the assassination, he was wearing a funny hat. (COMIC: The Weeping Angels of Mons) The Ninth Doctor had also been present at the assassination. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)

Ferdinand's death led directly to the First World War, "through nations having treaties with nations", according to the Tenth Doctor. (TV: The Family of Blood)

Unbeknownst to the general populace, however, the start of the war was influenced by the passage of the Nemesis statue around Earth in November 1913, (TV: Silver Nemesis) with the Archduke's assassination being the event which triggered the conflict.

While investigating the Dalek Project the Eleventh Doctor grew fearful as he began to suspect that the Daleks had engineered the assassination of Ferdinand and his wife by conditioning Princip to kill them and thus plunge the world into war, although his suspicions were never confirmed. (COMIC: The Dalek Project)
