What was austria-hungary afraid of in world war 1?

Answer 1

Austria-Hungary was allied with Germany, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire during World War 1. The Austrian Army was confined to the Eastern Front and Italian Front of the war hence forth it fought against the Russian Army in the east and the Italian Army to the southwest. In the beginning of the war Austria briefly invaded Serbia but was repelled within months. In 1915 they tried again with their allies of Germany and Bulgaria, only then did they conquer Serbia. Austria declared war on Belgium and Portugal but never fought them. In 1918 the Serbian, Greek, French, and British launched an offensive from their Macedonian Front, Austria therefore fought these armies as well but at this point Austria-Hungary was nothing more then a rag army. In the Mediterranean the Austrian Navy engaged British transport ships and in 1918 briefly fought the Italian Navy resulting in the loss of two Austrian ships.
