Editing Gavrilo Princip (section)

== Trial and Imprisonment ==
Princip and the five other assassins were arrested and brought to trial. During his trial, Princip was quoted as saying "I am a Yugoslav nationalist, aiming for the unification of all Yugoslavs, and I do not care what form of state, but it must be freed from Austria."

Princip could not be sentenced to death, as he was just shy of age 20, the minimum age for said sentence. Instead, Princip was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

In prison, Princip became ill from tuberculosis and malnutrition, and his right arm had to be amputated. In January 1916, he attempted suicide by hanging himself with a towel, but was unsuccessful. On April 28<sup>th</sup>, 1918, roughly four years after the assassination, Princip died in prison due to complications of tuberculosis.

While in prison, Austria-Hungary issued the Kingdom of Serbia an ultimatum, which led to the beginning of [[World War I]].
