Nationalism - the
Bosnian Crisis and
the Balkan Wars
- The Bosnian Crisis
- 1908
- Bosnia was inhabited mainly by Serbs
- However, at the congress of Berlin in 1878, Austria-Hungary received the right
to 'occupy and administer' Bosnia and Herzegovina
- In 1908, a group of young officers seized power in Turkey, and one of their aims was to rebuild the Turkish empire.
- As it seemed likely they'd try to reclaim Bosnia, the Austrians annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina
- to add territory to one's own
territory by appropriation
- Serbia was furious and prepared for war.
- They appealed to Russia for help, who demanded an
international conference to investigate the annexation
- Austria refused to attend, and was fully backed by Germany.
- Germany demanded that Russia accept the Austrian annexation of Bosnia,
and made it clear that if Russia declared war on Austria, Germany would
declare war on Russia
- Russia backed down as her armies were
no match for both Austria's and Germany's.
- Serbia was furious with Austria and wanted revenge, and the return of Bosnia
- Russia was humiliated and unwilling to back down in future crises
- Germany was now fully committed to supporting Austrian
policy in the Balkans, even if it led to war

- 1908
- The First Balkan War
- 1912 - Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria and Montenegro formed
the Balkan League in order to force the Turks out of the
areas they still controlled in the Balkans
- They had been encouraged by Italy's victory
over the Turks in 1911, over the North
African state Tripoli
- The combined armies of the Balkan league attacked the Turks
and drove them out of the Balkans
- Austria-Hungary were concerned at the gains made by Serbia,
and favoured a quick war to crush her
- The Great Powers stepped in and forced a peace settlement on the victorious Balkan states
- In May 1913, the Treaty of London was signed
- Serbia gained much territory
- However, Austria thwarted Serbia's plans to gain a coastline by
having a new country, Albania, placed between Serbia and the
Adriatic Sea
- which was possible because people
who were not Serbian lived there

- The Second Balkan War
- A month after the first one, the Balkan League had fallen out
- Bulgaria was disappointed with the gains made in Macedonia, and wanted more
- In June, 1913...
- ...Bulgaria attacked their former allies Greece and Serbia
- Greece and Serbia were supported by Romania, Montenegro and the Turks
- In a series of battles in June and July, the Bulgarian armies were defeated
- Russia and Britain intervened and forced the victorious countries to agree to a peace treaty
- In August 1913, the Treaty of Bucharest was signed, which saw Bulgaria lose most of its gains made
in the first Balkan war to Greece and Serbia

so if Russia attacked Austria-Hungary,
Germany would fight them back, as
would Italy
- Also, Britain and France were Russia's allies, so if Russia went to war, so would Britain and France
