| Title | Justifying Territorial Gains: Austro-Hungarian Occupation of Bosnia in 1878 |
| Summary | The Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia in 1878 was a unique case in history. A Catholic Empire taking over a predominantly Muslim province from a Muslim Empire. Given the circumstances, it was hard to convince the population of Austria-Hungary that this occupation is really worth the trouble. Soon after the occupation took place, an intensive propaganda campaign begun through books and media to justify and legitimize this new territorial acquisition. This thesis is analyzing the main trends in late 19th century Austrian books and 1878 Austrian newspapers, reconstructing the image of Bosnia and Bosnians in the late 19th century Austrian liberal mind and the arguments used to justify the occupation. |
