3666851 Austria mobilising its troops, 1908. (litho). by Ostoya, Georges d (Dochinsky or Sochinsky) (1878-1937); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Bosnian crisis of 1908-09, also known as the Annexation crisis or the First Balkan Crisis, erupted when on 8 October 1908, Austria-Hungary announced the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, territories formerly within the sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire. This unilateral action--timed to coincide with Bulgarias declaration of independence (5 October) from the Ottoman Empire--sparked protestations from all the Great Powers and Austria-Hungarys Balkan neighbours, Serbia and Montenegro. In April 1909 the Treaty of Berlin was amended to reflect the fait accompli and bring the crisis to an end. The crisis permanently damaged relations between Austria-Hungary on one hand and Serbia, Italy and the Russian Empire on the other. Although the crisis ended with what appeared to be a total Austro-Hungarian diplomatic victory, Russia became determined not to back down again and hastened its military build-up.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The litho print captures a significant moment in history - Austria mobilising its troops in 1908 during the Bosnian crisis. The image, created by Georges d'Ostoya, showcases the tension and unrest that surrounded this period. In October 1908, Austria-Hungary announced the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which were previously under Ottoman Empire rule. This move triggered protests from various Great Powers and neighboring countries like Serbia and Montenegro. The timing of this announcement coincided with Bulgaria's declaration of independence from the Ottoman Empire, further escalating tensions in the region. The litho print depicts soldiers marching in formation as they prepare for potential conflict. It symbolizes Austria-Hungary's determination to assert its dominance over these territories despite international backlash. This event had far-reaching consequences for European diplomacy. While it initially seemed like a diplomatic victory for Austria-Hungary, it strained relations with Serbia, Italy, and Russia permanently. Russia responded by accelerating its military build-up as a show of strength. The litho print serves as a reminder of how political decisions can have profound impacts on nations' relationships and stability within regions. It is an important historical artifact that sheds light on one of the key moments leading up to World War I.
