jan 14, 1908 - Young Turk revolution

Description:

Overthrew Sultan Abdul-Hamid

Very weak and inexperienced rules. Led to more carving up of the O.E.

AU-HU seized this opportunity to annex Bosnia/Herz (Russia was also reeling after defeat in 1905). This enraged Serbia and pan-Slav nationalists throughout Europe. Russia's response was to encourage pro-Russian, anti-AU sentiment in Serbia
