Today in History - June 28 | How a stalled car sent the world to war
The Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand, centre right, and his wife Sophie, centre left, walk to their a car in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914.
This photo was taken minutes before the assassination of the archduke and his wife, an event which set off a chain reaction of events that would eventually lead to World War I.
Princip was arrested and, as he was too young to be executed, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He died of tuberculosis in April 2018.
The archduke's death, meanwhile, reverberated throughout Europe's complex web of alliances and enmities, ultimately drawing the entire continent into the Great War.
A world heavyweight championship match between Evander Holyfield and challenger Mike Tyson on June 28, 1997, became one of the most notorious fight nights in history after Tyson brought an unorthodox move into the ring.
In the third round, Tyson infamously bit off part of Holyfield's ear, leading to his disqualification.
Tyson actually bit Holyfield several times during multiple clinches, leading referee Mills Lane to call a halt to the fight.
Holyfield claimed after the match Tyson had bitten him because he knew he was overmatched, and preferred to lose by disqualification than by knockout.
On June 28, 1950, South Korean troops began a series of mass executions of suspected communist sympathisers in what became known as the Bodo League massacres.
Many of the victims were civilians with no connection to North Korea's communist regime. The death toll is unknown, but may have been as high as 200,000.
For decades, the mass executions were blamed on North Korean forces, while the South Korean government threatened survivors and witnesses with reprisal and punishment should the speak out.
It wasn't until the 2000s that the country's Truth and Reconciliation Commission investigated the mass graves and brought the truth to light. The US also decommissioned former "top secret" military photos, showing the US had been aware of the killings.
