In 1881, Serbia's King Milan Obrenović signed a secret treaty with Austria-Hungary that effectively turned his kingdom into a vassal state. This episode explores the backroom diplomacy, the betrayal of Serbian aspirations in Bosnia, and the domestic backlash that followed. We trace how Milan's desperation for dynastic security led him to trade away national interests, setting the stage for the 1903 coup and the eventual assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Names like Nikola Pašić, Gyula Andrássy, and the Radical Party feature prominently. A forgotten chapter of Balkan power politics that echoes into World War I.
