Bosnian crisis |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.06 sec. |
Bosnian crisis(1908) International crisis caused by Austria-Hungary's annexation of the Balkan provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Russia supported Serbia, which protested the annexation and demanded that Austria cede part of the territory to Serbia, but Austria-Hungary, supported by Germany, threatened to invade Serbia if it persisted in its demands. Since Russia could not risk war against both Germany and Austria-Hungary, it was forced to accept the annexation. Though the crisis was resolved without immediate warfare, it contributed to the outbreak of World War I. How to thank TFD for its existence?

But I think Serbia's desire to survive, Russia's relative fragility, and a worldwide recognition that American power is waning, point to an alternative to the 1914 model: the Bosnian annexation crisis of 1908. Petersburg and Vienna in the summer of 1914 were shaped by the Crimean War and the Bosnian annexation crisis. |
