What Austria Hungary ultimatum could Serbia not agree to?

The whole point of the conflict between Serbia and Austria at the time was a conflict between Russia and Austra fighting for allegiance of the strongest country in the Balkans, and Serbia feeling threatend in its sovereignty. The ultimatum was in a form which was apparent to everyone that Serbia could not accept, since the political consequences of agreeing to it and loosing a war were the same.

Why did Germany form a Dual Alliance with Austria-Hungary?
Tensions were building between France and Germany; each was afraid that the other was going to invade. Thus, Germany wanted to deter France by building military support.
Also, Russia was hostile towards Germany because Bismarck revised the San Stefano Treaty against Russia's favour; Germany needed someone to weather these hostilities with. The Dreikaiserbund already placed Germany and Austria as past allies, Austria also needed strengthening against Russia, so Bismarck and Andrássy (Austria-Hungary's Foreign Minister) joined forces.
Why did Austria-Hungary declare war on Serbia in 1941?
On 28th June 1914 Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo by a Serbian nationalist (Gavrilo Princip). Convinced that the Serbian government had conspired against them, Austria-Hungary issued Serbia an unacceptable ultimatum. Serbia actually tried to comply, but falling short of the mark set by the Austro-Hungarians, this was seen as legitimate causus belli. This resulted in Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia on 28th July 1914.
Was Austria Hungary the blame for ww1?
Yes they did. After the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie had taken place by a Black Hand member, Austria started war against Serbia.
Yes, but becauser Serbia refused the ultimatum sent.
Austria-Hungary did not start WWI. They all had their part in it, because simply put, its all about inevitability. All the way from the time of the Napoleonic Wars up to WWI, everything was pretty much calm. Not too many wars happened, and when they did they didn't last too long and there weren't many killed. Anyhow, during this period, all these European countries became more powerful. Bascially, they all got very rich and what better place to invest all that money but the army. So therefore, by the late 1800s and the early 1900s, all of these European countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Austria-Hungary, England, and others were very wealthy, and they all had a powerful military. So, four sources of tension came up: nationalism, political and family rivalries, military buildups, and the alliance systems. So basically, all of Europe could be viewed as a lake full of gasoline, just waiting for that match to fall in a cause the explosion. WWI was inevitable and was going to happen weather Gavrillo Princep killed Ferdinand or not.
Austria started conflict and later the world war 1 because they had always wanted to crush Serbia who had helped and encouraged the Serbs living in Bosnia, Austria to uprise against the Austrian government and break free from their rule. Austria feared that if the Serbs succeeded then the other nationalities in Austria like the Poles, Croats, Ukranians would also break off and make their empire weak. They therefore decided that it would be best to crush Serbia, and so when the Serbian terrorist group "Black Hand" shot the heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand on June 28 1914 Austria sent an ultimatum to Serbia expecting it not to be accepted because they thought that this assasination would be a perfect excuse to crush Serbia once and for all. And when the Serbia accepted all but one of Austria's ultimatum demands ( which were brutal and hard to comply with) Austria declared war against Serbia (as it had always wanted) And so, I guess you could say that Austria did begin major conflict and was the very first nation to proclaim war.
I totally agree with you Austria pretty much just wanted a reason to start a war and when it got support from Germany it didn't think twice about negotiating some other punishment for Serbia but it declared war not understanding that the Russian were going to support Serbia and France would support Russia and so it would become something much bigger.
CommentThe Serbs *argreed* to most of the points in the ultimatum from Austria-Hungary, and the latter came very close to accepting. However, the German General Staff, which was the key actor and manipulator, immediately used its influence to strengthen the hawks in Vienna. All that talk what about Austria did and didn't want to do is based on the notion that its politicians were operating in some kind of vacuum. Life isn't that simple!How did the conflict between Serbia and austria-Hungary affect World War 1?
military defeats led to internal unrest and the collapse of Austria-Hungary
What country is Austria Hungary in?
Austria and Hungary are neighbouring separate countries in Europe at the moment. Nevertheless, they share a very long common history. For centuries there was a Habsburg sitting on the Hungarian throne (being both an emperor of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Hungarian King). In 1867, when there was the Compromise between the two countries, Francis Joseph was crowned King of Hungary, but except for the common monarch, Austria and Hungary became separate. They shared ministers of foreign affairs, defence, and finance, but the other affairs were dealt separately. There were also separate parliaments and capital cities. (Note that the Hungarians could not decide whether to enter the First world War or not, not even having an army of their own.) This dualismlasted until 1918, when after the First World War all the nations in the monarchy having been ruled by the Habsburgs wanted and became independent.
What major event led Austria Hungary to declare war on Serbia?
Killing of Princ Ferdinand by Gavrilo Princip member of Youth Bosna
Why did austria Hungary seize Bosnia in 1908?
because arch duke franz fredinhand had been shot
You really are an idiot. Everyone knows FF was assassinated in 1914, the act which sparked the first world war.
Austria annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina to strengthen its influence in the Balkan region, something which had been threatened by recent nationalistic uprisings there relating to Balkan desire of 'pan-slavism'.
Whoever wrote this above me is the real idiot because that is not what sparked the first world war. The war had already begun to erupt by 1908 when Bosnia and Herzegovina were seized by Austria.
