Young Bosnia, or Mlada Bosna, was a loose revolutionary movement of students and young intellectuals in Bosnia and Herzegovina under Austro-Hungarian rule, which had occupied the province in 1878 and annexed it in 1908. Its members, mostly Bosnian Serbs but also Croats and Muslims, wanted liberation from Habsburg rule and union with the other South Slavs. They were influenced by Serbian nationalism and by Russian revolutionary ideas, and some had contacts with the Serbian secret society known as the Black Hand. Gavrilo Princip, a member of the movement, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in June 1914, an event that set off the July Crisis and led to the First World War. After the war Bosnia became part of the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
