10:50Now PlayingDuring the First World War, Bosnia and Herzegovina was under the occupation of Austria-Hungary. Prior to the war, Bosnia and Herzegovina had been under the control of Austria-Hungary since 1878 when it was taken by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This was met with resistance from Bosnian Serbs who desired unification with Serbia. In 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo (the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina) triggered the beginning of World War I. Austria-Hungary accused Serbia of supporting the assassins and used it as a pretext to declare war on Serbia. Following the declaration of war, the region became an important strategic base for Austria-Hungary as it provided a convenient route for launching military operations against Serbia. The war frontlines shifted throughout the conflict, but Bosnia and Herzegovina remained under Austro-Hungarian control for the entire duration of the war. The region did not experience extensive fighting as the main battle lines were further to the north and east. Austria-Hungary established a military administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina to maintain control over the region. The administration sought to suppress any opposition to Austro-Hungarian rule and imposed strict control over the local population. Despite the occupation, there were instances of resistance by local populations, particularly by Bosnian Serbs who aimed for the unification of Bosnia and Herzegovina with Serbia. These resistance efforts were met with harsh reprisals by the Austro-Hungarian authorities. The First World War ended in November 1918 with the defeat of the Central Powers, including Austria-Hungary. The collapse of the empire led to the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Following the end of the war, Bosnia and Herzegovina became part of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later renamed Yugoslavia) in 1918.
