Date(s): July 23, 1877 to November 1877
Participants: 300 Austria-Hungary/325 Italy
Outcome (and Settlement): Unclear (None)
Fatalities: None
Narrative: On July 25, 1877, reported Italian fleet movements caused a stir in
Austria-Hungary; this followed Austrian apprehension and threats after a reported
alliance between Italy and Russia. The fleet movements were part of an effort by the
Italian government to strengthen its ties with Germany, with the intention of convinc-
ing Bismarck to dismantle Austria-Hungary during the Russo-Turkish War. Bismarck
was not convinced and widely reported the details of his conversation with the Ital-
ian minister Crispi. In light of these events, Italy’s government spoke and acted with
much discretion afterward, for fear that they might off Austria an excuse to invade.
Later, there were assertions that Austria-Hungary had mobilized its forces in response
to Italian moves.
