Fun fact: The Black hand Is the ruling Body of the Dark Brotherhood in the Elder Scrolls. In real life, The Black Hand was a secret society that promoted Serbia's national agenda through terrorism So basically a terror group like Al Qaeda today . It orchestrated many attacks against the Austrians.

The Black Hand weren't necessarily terrorists. If they were terrorists, then so many other rebellions and revolutions before them were terrorists as well. They were a radical freedom fighting group that wanted to unite all Slavic states, and allegedly had the support of the Serbian government.

We look down on them for their role in starting World War II. But it was Austria-Hungary that put Franz Ferdinand in a position to be assassinated (sending him to Seraje** on a Slavic holiday, putting him in an open roof car, announcing the exact day well in advance, and Franz wasn't exactly on good terms with Austria's emperor) and it was Austria-Hungary that declared war on Serbia.

It is entirely possible that the Austria-Hungarians wanted Franz to be assassinated so they would have an excuse to go to war on Serbia, because at the time they were really gunning for Serbia.

Much like Osama bin Laden had the Support of the Taliban Regime, It is interesting that many In the Islamic World Thanks to the United States itself, considers us to be the terrorists. So based on perspective, you could consider any rebel a terrorist, because in today's world many use the two words interchangeably to describe one another.

Let's take this even further. Based on perspective we can consider the Native American Tribes in the 19th century to be terrorists as well, Andrew Jackson to many is considered to be a pretty good president, But to the Native Americans, Andrew Jackso is comparable to Adolf ******. George Washington can be put in this same light as he ordered the deaths of thousands of Native American men women and children during the American Revolution. This is due to the fact that many Natives actively supported the British.
