The Bosnian Crisis (1908)

Topic: Annexation. Broken agreements.

1 sentence: Austria annexes Bosnia-Herzegovina – which angers Serbia – without moving her warships, thus breaking an agreement with Russia.

Involved: Austria-Hungary, Russia, Serbia, Germany + Bosnia-Herzegovina

Roles:
Austria: Annexes Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Serbia: Is angered by the annexation, because of high Serb population in B-Herz.
Russia: Angered when Austria annexes B-Herz without keeping her part of the agreement (moving warships through the Turkish Traits). Supports Serbia due to Slav nationalism. Is “forced” to step down when Germany backs up Austria.
Germany: Already allied with Austria (Dual Alliance, 1879) and backs her up in the conflict.

Outcome:
Russia = humiliated because she had to step down + was taken advantage of
Serbia = angered + “hatred” for the Dual Alliance
