* After Edward VIII, King of the United Kingdom, and Emperor

Nicholas II of Russia reached a deal on June 9, 1908, the Committee

of Union and Progress staged a bloodless coup and forced Abdul
Hamid II to restore the constitutional monarchy (Second Constitu-
tional Era). Right after this development, the 31 March Incident and

a military coup took place. In fact, spy Gerald Fitzmaurice, who had

been disguised as an interpreter working for the British Embassy, care-
fully devised these developments. After the coup, Austria-Hungary
annexed Bosnia Herzegovina, and Italy annexed Libya, Rhodes and the

Dodecanese islands. Albania declared independence while Greece an-

nexed Thessaloniki, Crete and Ioannina, and Bulgaria seized Kavala
and Alexandroupoli. This marked the end of Ottoman rule in Europe.
