bullet::::- austria-hungary, struggling for a port on the adriatic and seeking ways for expansion in the south at the expense of the ottoman empire, was totally opposed to any other nation's expansion in the area. at the same time, the habsburg empire had its own internal problems with significant slav populations that campaigned against german-hungarian control of the multinational state. serbia, whose aspirations in the direction of austrian-held bosnia were no secret, was considered an enemy and the main tool of russian machinations that were behind the agitation of austria's slav subjects. but austria-hungary failed to secure german backup for a firm reaction. initially, emperor wilhelm ii told the archduke franz ferdinand that germany was ready to support austria in all circumstances—even at the risk of a world war, but the austro-hungarians hesitated. finally, in the german imperial war council of 8 december 1912 the consensus was that germany would not be ready for war until at least mid-1914 and passed notes to that effect to the habsburgs. consequently, no actions could be taken when the serbs acceded to the austrian ultimatum of 18 october and withdrew from albania.
