Description
In the first years of the 20th century the Austrian Empire faced numerous problems, most of all the rising sense of nationalism among its various peoples. Attempting a more assertive foreign policy, the Austrians set about a plan to formally annex Bosnia and Herzegovina, which since 1878 had been administered by Vienna but still remained under nominal Ottoman suzerainty. However, this decision backfired terribly, triggering a six month diplomatic crisis which almost led to general war www.patreon.com/historyeuropewww.historyeurope.netMusic: Gustav Mahler's Fourth SymphonyPicture - Le Petit Journal, Balkan Crisis 1908 Hosted on Acast.
