They really needed the blessing of all the great powers to do this, but they decided basically to go in and get on with it as quickly as possible.
The only great power that was consulted was Russia, who said, oh, okay then, but we'll need to have a little bit of access to the Bosphorus for ourselves, for trade and arms dealing and that sort of thing.
Russia could at this point have gone, hey, don't do that.
We haven't signed on the dotted line yet.
But Russia had just come out of the Japanese war.
They were too weak.
They didn't have a buildup of arms.
They couldn't really argue very much.
So it was a fait accompli.
Now you think that would have settled the matter, but no, because the Balkans are always a powder keg.
And they kicked off a second war, and that had Serbia, Greece, and Romania against Bulgaria, all basically arguing over the spoils of the first Balkan war, and who got what in Macedonia.
What the Serbs wanted was a greater Serbia.
A greater Serbia incorporating all the lands that Austria was also holding onto.
Bosnia and Herzegovina was a prime example.
The official name for them in Serbian was Union or Death, which probably tells you all you need to know.
They were terrorists.
They were violent.
They went after Austrian officials and tried to assassinate them.
They had little cells of people in various different places, four or five, six people in one cell.
Then they had a local committee, then they had a national committee, so nobody actually knew each other.
