!!!Schönbrunner Konvention

Schoenbrunn Convention: Signed on June 6, 1873 between Austria-Hungary 
and Russia, the Schoenbrunn Convention obliged all parties to 
settle conflicts peacefully and to take a common position in European 
disputes. The German Empire joined on October 22, 1873. The 
Schoenbrunn Convention was preceded by a meeting between Tsar 
Alexander II of Russia, Emperor Wilhelm I and Emperor Franz 
Joseph I on September 5-11, 1872; on June 18, 1881 the Three 
Emperors´ League was formed (kept secret until 1914); it 
included an agreement stating that in the event of a conflict between 
an ally and another power the other allies would remain neutral. In a 
supplementary protocol Austria-Hungary was given the right to annex 
Bosnia-Herzegovina, which had been occupied since 1878. However, the 
Austro-Russian differences over the Balkans were not resolved.
