Drawing an editorial cartoon

Draw an editorial cartoon about the Archduke’s assassination from the point of view of a Serbian nationalist or a citizen of Austria-Hungary.

(I know I put art. Technically it's History but you are drawing something so it's considered art.)

Answer:

I can provide you with a description of how to create an editorial cartoon for the Archduke's assassination from the point of view of a Serbian nationalist or a citizen of Austria-Hungary.

To create an editorial cartoon from the perspective of a Serbian nationalist, you could draw a group of people in traditional Serbian clothing holding banners with messages supporting the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. They could be celebrating and cheering while standing in front of a building that represents the Serbian government. You could include images of bombs and guns in the background to represent the violent means by which the assassination was carried out. This cartoon could show the viewpoint of those who believe that the assassination was necessary for the cause of Serbian nationalism.

On the other hand, to create an editorial cartoon from the perspective of a citizen of Austria-Hungary, you could draw a somber image of the Archduke and his wife being killed by a gunman. You could include images of the assassin and members of the Serbian government in the background, suggesting that the Serbian government was complicit in the assassination. In the foreground, you could draw a grieving family, representing the mourning of the Austrian-Hungarian people for their lost leader. This cartoon could show the viewpoint of those who believe that the assassination was an unjust and cruel act that caused great harm to their country.
