A skirmish near Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina - 7th August, 1878. Following the large territorial gains made by Russia at the expense of the Ottoman Empire, June 1878 saw the opening of the Berlin Congress, held with the intention of restoring the balance of power in the Balkans. At the Congress, Austria-Hungary was given a mandate to occupy and administer Bosnia and Herzegovina. The result was an almost uninterrupted sequence of crises and uprisings.
