The Balkan Crisis of 1908 was the Annexation of Bosnia by Austria-Hungary despite the vocal complaints from the Serbs who wanted the territory with its 3 million Serbs. Prelude to World War 1 and assassination of Archduke to start WW1. Also responsible for having Serbia join the Balkan League to fight Turkey in the 1st Balkan War.
In 1908 the Austrian-Hungarian Empire declared its intent to annex Bosnia. This led to massive outcry but other countries. The ottoman empire, Russian Empire, and French Republic hated the idea that Austria-Hungary would become more powerful. Thus tensions rose. However Austria-Hungary refused to stop the process and these feelings led to more conflict and eventually a cause in wwi.
Imperialism played a significant role in the Balkan Crisis by intensifying nationalist sentiments and competition among European powers. The decline of the Ottoman Empire created a power vacuum, prompting countries like Austria-Hungary and Russia to assert their influence in the region, leading to territorial disputes. This rivalry fueled conflicts such as the Balkan Wars, as various ethnic groups sought independence or greater autonomy, while imperial ambitions exacerbated tensions, ultimately contributing to the outbreak of World War I.
