Wat would it take for the Bosnian nnexation crisis to escalate into a large scale conflict?
Looking at the events that surrounded the crisis, I have the impession that the Austro-Hungarians bluffed and cheated their way to success in a situation that was not really favourable to them from the start (in a somewhat similar manner to Hitler at Munich in 1938). Given the number of powers that were displeased with this turn of events, would in not have been possible for them to coordinate a joint action seeking to reverse it? And if this happened, would the Central Powers back down in time to avoid a war?
