THE ROAD TO WAR Tension In the BALKANS

The Balkan Region

Russian Interest in The Balkans After being humiliated in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905 they refocused attention to Europe Special interest in Balkans (Bosnia, Herzegovina, Serbia, Bulgaria and Part of Greece) Feuded with Turkey and Austria Hungary, who had similar interests

Austria-Hungarian Interest In 1908 Austria- Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina from Turkey

Serbia’a Response They were upset for two reasons: –1) There were many Serbs in the area –2) It cut Serbia off from the Adriatic Sea They hoped that Russia would intervene, but Russia were reluctant in fear of a German attack.

Heightening Conflict in the Region 1912: Formation of The Balkan League under Serbian leadership Declared War on Turkey and defeated them Pushed Turkish influence out of the region

Serbia -vs- Austria-Hungary Austria-Hungary worried about Serbia’s growing power Serbia doubled in size after another war in 1913

Russia Officially Enters into the Conflict Serbia was weary of eminent aggression from Austria-Hungary They turned to their ally Russia for protection

Look at what we then had…. Austria-Hungary -vs- Russia That means their allies are behind them Austria-Hungary ~ Germany and Italy (Triple Alliance) Russia ~ Britain and France (Triple Entente)

RECAP Let’s take another look at the major European Powers at the time of The Balkan Crisis

BRITAIN Major industrial power (behind US and Germany) Wanted to maintain status quo as major colonial power

GERMANY Major industrial power under authoritarian monarch Challenge existing order of powers and wanted to flex its muscle in doing so

RUSSIA 4th largest industrial power (but mostly in food and textiles rather than equipment and arms) Mostly a peasant, agricultural society HUGE army (1.3 million troops; 5 million reserves

FRANCE 5th leading industrial power Slow growing population (especially compared to Germany)
