Nationalists endangered the Austrian-Hungarian empire because certain people had strong feelings against the empire and wanted freedom. This led to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

The appearance of the threat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire should be seen in the then historical context and political conditions that ruled Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. Although it happened much earlier, the ideas of the French Revolution spread widely during the nineteenth century, and by the beginning of the twentieth century there was a whole corpus of young enlightened people and thinkers who no longer wanted to live in the dark middle ages under the paw of any empire, across Europe. This creates various organizations in all ethnic groups, which bring together nationalists and revolutionaries, with one goal, national freedom. In this sense, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was threatened as endangered and everyone else at that time, recall the Turkish Empire already weakened. On the other hand, the political game of the empire, about the construction of the international railroad, unscrupulous annexation,  and investing in new projects with the humiliation  of subordinate nations in the conditions of national awakening, the trade of archdukes. Yes, trade of archdukes, cause, after the assassination officials of the monarchy stated that the assassination did not achieve much, because they still have dozens of archdukes, they can always put the other.  It only showed their supreme attitude and contributed to the existing saturation with such obsolete ideas from the Middle Ages.
