Description
The relationship between the Central Powers, Austria-Hungary and Germany, decisively influenced European and world affairs before the First World War. This book vividly describes the complex connections between the European great powers and shows how William II, Francis Joseph I and other key politicians and diplomats shaped their countries’ foreign policies. It also recalls the worsening relations between the Habsburg monarchy and Russia over the Balkans, the Bosnian annexation crisis, Austria-Hungary’s disputes with Serbia and the threat of the empire losing its status as a great power. It further examines the circumstances that led Berlin to give unequivocal support to the Habsburg monarchy after the Sarajevo assassination, setting off a deadly chain of events that claimed millions of lives.
