ABSTRACT
Historians have said that the nineteenth century ended in 1914. The Habsburg Monarchy went through a new crisis. The coincidence of the Monarchy's internal crisis and of the changes in Serbia favoured a considerable improvement in Croatia's political climate, although the franchise was restricted to 1.8 per cent of the population. The Hungarian opposition won the elections of 1905, but was unable to form a government until it had given in to the sovereign over not altering the Ausgleich. Nationalists assumed that all the Christians of Macedonia were desperately waiting to join the common Bulgarian homeland outlined at San Stefano. The Young Turks argued that a return to the constitution would undermine foreign intervention. The Young Turk's Revolution had obviously not settled the question of Bosnia-Herzegovina and of Eastern Roumelia except in so far as it had served to sever even what remained of a tenuous link with these provinces and with the Principality of Bulgaria.
