  • El conde Alois Lexa von Aehrenthal (27 de septiembre, 1854, Gross-Skal, Bohemia - 17 de febrero, 1912, Viena, Imperio Austrohúngaro) fue un diplomático austro-húngaro. Como ministro de relaciones exteriores del Imperio Austrohúngaro (1906–1912), reavivó enérgicamente la inactiva política exterior del imperio. Su proclamación por la anexión de Bosnia y Herzegovina en 1908, provocó temores de una posible guerra con Rusia, enardeciendo las pasiones austrofóbicas de Serbia, hecho que derivó en la censura internacional e induciendo a la Crisis bosnia.

  • Nel 1877 iniziò il servizio diplomatico nell'impero Austro-Ungarico come attaché a Parigi. Nel 1906 sostituì il conte Goluchowski come ministro degli esteri. È ricordato per essere stato il maggior artefice dell'annessione della Bosnia ed Herzegovina nel 1908 sulla base di un accordo segreto con il ministro degli esteri russo Alexander Izvolsky, che sembrò un vero e proprio trionfo per l'Austria, e che gli valse il titolo di conte. Nei fatti, l'annessione causò profondi risentimenti in Serbia e in Russia, provocando nel resto d'Europa una grande sfiducia nella diplomazia austriaca, e fu uno dei fattori alla base della I guerra mondiale.
