Responsible for | The Macedonian Origin of "Black Hand" |
Details | This study assesses the extent of effects that the interaction between international terrorist organizations gave to the outbreak of WWI, taking the Serbian and Bulgarian cases as examples. In the course of the Macedonian Struggle, the Serbian nationalists adopted the organizational tactics of the IMRO, which eventually gave rise to the "Black Hand," and its contact with the "Young Bosnians." Their terrorist activities brought about a socio-political chaos in Macedonia, and constituted one of the most important origins of the Balkan War. The war brought an end to the Ottoman Balkan rule, and at the same time, to the fragile consensus of the Russo-Austrian status quo. The final rupture of the regional balance of power was triggered off by another terrorist action in Sarajevo, an offshoot of international terrorist interactions. |
