the small, almost barbaric kingdom of Serbia.
For years there had been bitter rivalry be-
tween two kingly families, the Obrenovic and
Karadjordevic groups, each claiming the right
to the throne of Serbia. In 1908 the land was
ruled by the Obrenovics with King Alexander
and Queen Draga on the throne.
1t was the Obrenovic policy to lean on Austria
for support against the Turks and the Bulgars
The Karadpordevics, on the other hand, looked
to Russia for support against Austria. There
were in Serbia at the time a number of in
tensey patriotic young army officers who
dreamed of drawing all the Yugoslav peoples
into one great national state, with Belgrade as
its capital

were enemies of their country So on the
