Map 27: Austria-Hungary tears into Serbia

[Hauksbee]

                Austria-Hungary conquers Serbia

The nominal cause of the war was Austria-Hungary's effort to punish Serbia for its sponsorship of anti-Austrian terrorism, and in 1915 the Habsburgs succeeded. The entire grand web of alliances neither deterred an Austrian attack on Serbia nor prevented the Austrians from winning. By the end of the year, the remnants of the Serbian army had retreated into Albania and been evacuated by sea. Allied forces would eventually liberate Serbia in 1918, moving through Greece and Bulgaria. The Serbian state enlarged to incorporate Bosnia-Herzegovenia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Macedonia after the war and became known as Yugoslovia until 1991.

(Sorry for the lapse in the maps postings. I had to move to new digs...from a house to a one bedroom apartment. It's not easy to pack ten pounds in a three pound bag. Then there was other problems getting on line again. 'Had to go with a whole new ISP. But...I think things are getting sorted out.

This map is not one of the more satisfactory ones. In fact, it doesn't seem to make much sense at all. Better luck tommorow. [Hauksbee])
