Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina
1878–1918 period of rule over Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bosnia and Herzegovina fell under Austro-Hungarian rule in 1878, when the Congress of Berlin approved the occupation of the Bosnia Vilayet, which officially remained part of the Ottoman Empire. Three decades later, in 1908, Austria-Hungary provoked the Bosnian Crisis by formally annexing the occupied zone, establishing the Condominium of Bosnia and Herzegovina under the joint control of Austria and Hungary.
