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

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Both Austria-Hungary and Germany feared Russia, the Ottoman Empire was also an old enemy of Russia. Also, Germany had been diplomatically isolated pre-WWI by contesting France's takeover of Morroco so that it could demand more colonial territory. Austria-Hungary was one of the few nations it could rely on, and so, although Austria-Hungary was highly aggressive in an unstable area (the Balkans), Germany felt it needed at least this powerful ally. Germany had also been heavily investing in the Ottoman Empire pre-WWI. The Ottoman Empire probably also was angry at Britain for forcing it to make Kuwait autnomous. Bulgaria came into the war after it had started, but it had for a long time desired Macedonia, then a part of Serbia, as part of its country. Bulgaria's royal lineage can also be traced back to the Germany during the time of the war.

What was the blank check that Germany gave Austria Hungary?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary ( Canada) was defensive. However, on 6 July 1914 Germany in effect gave its unqualified support to anything that Austria-Hungary might do regarding the Sarajevo assassination. This is referred to as the 'blank check'. It is widely cited as evidence that Germany was actively inciting Austria-Hungary to set in train a series of events that would lead to a major war. In the eyes of the German General Staff, opportunity beckoned - and Germany would not even need to appear openly as the aggressor.

What arguments could Russia have used in Austria-Hungary for the start of the war?

Asked by Wiki User

Russia stepped into the Austro-Serbian conflict over borders that erupted into Archduke Ferdinand's assassinations. Thus, it enlarged an issue between two nations. And its early, preventative, troop movements towards Germany angered that country so that it entered war.

Why was World War 1 not fought just in Serbia and Austria-Hungary?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Russia joined the war because it considered Serbia to be its "brother" as they were both Slavic. The Triple Entente had been formed which was an alliance between Russia, France, and the United Kingdom, which all these three countries had agreed to join in and help if any of them should be involved in a war, thus resulting in the First World War.
