The teenager who changed world history
A. Franz Ferdinand was the direct cause of the First World War, which started the same year, and which resulted in the deaths of nine million soldiers. The war ended in 1918 with the Treaty of Versailles, which was very unfavourable to Germany. This, in turn, resulted in Germany going to war again in 1939, a war in which approximately 60,000,000 people around the world lost their lives.
B. For example, do you know who Gavrilo Princip was? Probably not. He was a Serb, born in Bosnia in 1894 and was one of nine children, six of whom died when they were very young. Gavrilo's health was also very bad and he suffered from tuberculosis. He studied in Belgrade where he spent most of his time with nationalists who wanted a union between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia. He died when he was just 24 years old.
C. The Second World War ended with the Treaty of Yalta in 1945 which led to the division of Eastern Europe, which eventually led to the conflict in Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Possibly no other person has had so much impact on world history over the last century than the sickly teenager, Gavrilo Princip.
D. History tells us about famous leaders, Kings and Queens, but what about the great changes which have been caused by one small act carried out by a relatively unknown person?
E. So why is he so important? Well, Gavrilo Princip is the boy who, at the age of 19, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914. Franz Ferdinand was going to be the next Austro-Hungarian emperor and the nationalists wanted their country to be independent from the empire. After shooting and killing the Archduke in his car, Gavrilo was captured by the police and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. But he died in prison of tuberculosis in 1918.

preparing with my class? Would you be able to play one of the roles? Jack: Why me? I haven’t been in a play for years. Lara: Well, unless I find somebody soon, I may have to give up the whole idea. And it would be such a pity, come on, I thought you loved acting… Jack: When I was about ten, yes, I did. But that’s all changed now. And my voice is not as good as it used to be. Lara: Of course it is! It’s improved, in my opinion. Isn’t it funny! I hated being in plays when I was a child, I’d do anything to avoid acting, and look at me now, I’m a full time drama teacher. Jack: Yes, I often wonder why you didn’t become an actor rather than a teacher. You seemed to have all the qualities… Lara: Yes, it makes me sad to think about it. I’d be earning lots of money now. Anyway, about that part in my play. How about this? I’ll send you a copy of the play and you can have a look at it and then you can decide… Jack: I’ll do that, but I can’t promise I’ll say yes, OK? Now, listen, why don’t you have the play a week later? That would give you time to find an actor and … Lara: Oh, that would disappoint everyone, I can’t do that. We’ll talk again after the weekend. I must go now. Do give me a call. Bye! Jack: Bye! I’ll call you on Monday. 1. Lara is confident that her play will be a success. 2. Jack enjoyed acting when he was a child. 3. Lara thinks that Jack’s voice was better when he was younger. 4. Jack expected Lara to have a successful career in acting. 5. Jack agrees to spend time reading the play. 6. Lara will try to change the date for the play.
