The Kingdom of Bosnia (Bosnian: Kraljevina Bosna, Cyrillic: Краљевина Босна) was an independent state between 1887 until its absorption into Austria-Hungary after a brief civil war in 1899. It was known as Russian Bosnia or Little Russia due to the heavy Russian influence the state was under. The country bordered Austria-Hungary, Montenegro and Serbia.
History[]
The Bosnian Rebellion of 1886 started on July 17 when a force of Nationalist Bosnians occupied Sarajevo during the Austro-Hungarian occupation of the Bosnia Theme. While the Austro-Hungarians were trying to assess the situation and get forces down the Bosnians reached out to the Russian Empire to negotiate support. The Russian would provide military if the Bosnians would accept Niko Dadiani as King Tvrtko III. After some talking between the Bosnians Independence Factions they accepted. The Russian and Bosnian forces managed to take the Bosnian territory and set up defensive trench lines along the Una river.
After many failed attempts at breaking the Bosnian lines the Austro-Hungarians gave up and accepted Nicholas as King of Bosnia. Tvrtko III took over an extremely divided state both ethnically, Politically and religiously which made his health begin to take a turn for the worse.
On March 20, 1899 a Bosnian anarchist, allegedly supported by Austria-Hungary shot Tvrtko III during a public outing, although not normally a fatal shot but due to his health being on the decline for a decade it made his body weak and he passed away a week later. Nicholas didn't have any children so a half of the government tried to find a successor whilst the other half negotiated an amicable deal with the Habsburgs where they kept a parliament and autonomy. The treaty was finalized on and the Kingdom of Bosnia was disbanded on March 30th 1899.
