Aehrenthal, Aloys, Count Lexa von

Aehrenthal, Aloys, Count Lexa von extract from Britannica Online.

(born Sept. 27, 1854, Gross-Skal, Bohemia—died Feb. 17, 1912, Vienna, Austria-Hungary) Austro-Hungarian diplomat. As foreign minister of Austria-Hungary (1906–12), he aggressively revived the empire's dormant foreign policy. His proclamation of the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1908 provoked fears of war with Russia, inflamed Serbia's Austrophobe passions, and drew international censure, leading to the Bosnian crisis.
