===Austria-Hungary=== {{See also|Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina|Austro-Hungarian campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878}} [[File:Minutos previos al atentado en Sarajevo.jpg|thumb|left|[[Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria]] arrives at [[National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina|the city hall]] on the day of his assassination, 28 June 1914]] [[Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina|Austria-Hungary's occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina]] came in 1878 as part of the [[Treaty of Berlin (1878)|Treaty of Berlin]], and [[Bosnian Crisis|complete annexation]] followed in 1908, angering the [[Serbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina|Serbs]]. Sarajevo was industrialized by Austria-Hungary, who used the city as a testing area for new inventions such as [[Trams in Sarajevo|tramways]], which were established in 1885 before they were later installed in [[Vienna]]. Architects and engineers wanting to help rebuild Sarajevo as a modern European capital rushed to the city. A fire that burned down a large part of the central city area (''čaršija'') left more room for redevelopment. As a result, the city has a unique blend of the remaining Ottoman city market and contemporary Western architecture. Sarajevo also has some examples of Secession- and Pseudo-[[Moors|Moorish]] styles that date from this period. [[File:Latin Bridge in Sarajevo.jpg|thumb|The [[Latin Bridge]] was the site of the [[Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand|assassination of Franz Ferdinand]]]] The [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian]] period was one of great development for the city, as the Western power brought its new acquisition up to the standards of the [[Victorian era|Victorian age]]. Various factories and other buildings were built at this time,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bhtourism.ba/eng/history_city.wbsp?wbf_mjesto=;1; |title=BH Tourism – History |access-date=2 June 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160313141355/http://bhtourism.ba/eng/history_city.wbsp?wbf_mjesto=;1; |archive-date=13 March 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref> and a large number of institutions were both Westernized and modernized. For the first time in history, Sarajevo's population began writing in [[Latin alphabet|Latin script]].<ref name=Brit /><ref>FICE (International Federation of Educative Communities) Congress 2006. [http://www.fice-congress2006.org/french/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=6 Sarajevo – History.]{{dead link|date=February 2016}} Congress in Sarajevo. Retrieved on 3 August 2006.</ref> For the first time in centuries, the city significantly expanded outside its traditional borders. Much of the city's contemporary central municipality ([[Centar, Sarajevo|Centar]]) was constructed during this period. Architecture in Sarajevo quickly developed into a wide range of styles and buildings. The [[Sarajevo cathedral|Sacred Heart Cathedral]], for example, was constructed using elements of [[Gothic Revival architecture|neo-gothic]] and [[Romanesque architecture]]. The [[National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina|National Museum]], [[Sarajevska pivara|Sarajevo brewery]], and [[Vijećnica|City Hall]] were also constructed during this period. Additionally, Austrian officials made Sarajevo the first city in this part of Europe to have a [[tram]]way. [[File:Academy of fine art and Festina lente.jpg|thumb|The [[Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo|Academy of Fine Arts]] was originally built to serve as an [[Reformed Church in Austria|Evangelical Church]] in 1899]] Although the Bosnia Vilayet ''[[de jure]]'' remained part of the Ottoman Empire, it was ''[[de facto]]'' governed as an integral part of Austria-Hungary with the Ottomans having no say in its day-to-day governance. This lasted until 1908 when the territory was formally annexed and turned into a [[condominium (international law)|condominium]], jointly controlled by both Austrian [[Cisleithania]] and Hungarian [[Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen|Transleithania]]. The event that triggered [[World War I]] was the [[Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand|assassination]] of [[Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria]], along with his wife [[Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg]] in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 by [[Gavrilo Princip]], a Bosnian Serb and self-declared Yugoslav, and member of [[Young Bosnia]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/archduke-franz-ferdinand-assassinated |title=Archduke Franz Ferdinand assassinated – Jun 28, 1914 – HISTORY.com |work=history.com |access-date=29 September 2016 |archive-date=24 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160924221049/http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/archduke-franz-ferdinand-assassinated |url-status=live }}</ref> This was followed by the [[Anti-Serb riots in Sarajevo]], which resulted in two deaths and destruction of property. [[File:MapSaraevo1932-1824.jpg|thumb|Detailed plan of Sarajevo, 1932]] In the ensuing war, however, most of the Balkan offensives occurred near Belgrade, and Sarajevo largely escaped damage and destruction. Following the war, Bosnia was annexed into the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]], and Sarajevo became the capital of the [[Drina Banovina|Drina Province]].
