Were Austria-Hungary and Serbia allies before 1914?

Question

If not who were Austrian-Hungary's allies and who were Serbia's allies

Answer 1

All of these posts are incorrect. Serbia was definitely an independent state, but was not an ally of Austria-Hungary. They were rivals for control of the Western Balkans. Serbia was autonomous since 1804 and gained full independence in the 1870s. Then in 1912-13 Serbia regained the remaining territories under Ottoman occupation. Austria-Hungary perceived Serbia as a threat to Austro-Hungarian ambitions in the Balkans and to the empire itself. There were very large Serb minorities in Austria-Hungary in the regions of southern Hungary (now northern Serbia), what is today Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Furthermore, Serbia had aspirations of liberating other southern Slavs under Austro-Hungarian domination such as Slovenes and Croats and incorporating them into the new state of Yugoslavia (Land of the South Slavs).

Answer 2

Short answer, Austria-Hungary controlled Serbia. There were independence groups in Serbia, and this is the catalist for WW1.

Russia vows to protect Serbia (secretly), France and England are in an alliance with Russia.

Austria-Hungary was aligned with Germany and Italy.

Serbian terrorist group (Black Hand) kills heir Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie (Princep is the assassin), WW1 boils over.

While the assassin isn't quite the cause of WW1. The entire region was waiting for a war. It would be "some damned thing in the Balkans." I forget who said that.

Some reasons for WW1 (I forget the rest):
- Entangling Alliances
- Militarism
- Nationalism

Answer 3

Serbia was part of the Austria-Hungary empire in 1914.

Answer 4

by ww1 the austro-hungarian empire was on a steep decline. much of the balkan wars was to expel the Empire as their rulers. though serbia did not win independence the austro-hungarian empire lost all control over the balkans by 1913.
serbia was allied with the russians and had military protection from britain and france.

Answer 5

For Austria-Hungary, the Balkans have been the only achieveable area for their expansion, as because of the fact the Congress of Vienna (talked approximately with the aid of technique of the creation of Italy and Germany), all different national borders have been concept thoroughly solidified. For Russia, the Balkans have been seen their element of result; as she talked approximately as herself the 'protector' of all Slavic countries. (This area ought to sound very well-known, in case you think of in regards to the chilly-conflict's Warsaw %...)
