Everything about Alois Lexa Von Aehrenthal totally explained
Count
Alois Lexa von Aehrenthal (
September 27,
1854 -
February 17,
1912) was an
Austrian diplomat who engineered the
Bosnian crisis of
1908.
Born in Gross-Skal,
Bohemia (now
Hrubá Skála,
Czech Republic), he entered the diplomatic service of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire, beginning as attaché in Paris (1877). In
1906 he replaced Count
Goluchowski as minister of foreign affairs. His major accomplishment was the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina in
1908 on the basis of a secret agreement with Russian foreign minister
Alexander Izvolsky, which appeared to be a triumph for Austria (and won him the title of Count). "It was, however, one of those pyrrhic victories, which seem brilliant at the moment, but which bring more misfortune than success, if looked at from a longer perspective" (Fay, p. 394). It stirred deep resentment in Serbia and Russia, caused the rest of Europe to distrust Austrian diplomacy, and was one of the factors that helped bring about
World War I.
