===Treaty of London=== {{main|Treaty of London (1915)}} [[File:Promised Borders of the Tready of London.png|thumb|right|Territories promised to Italy by the Entente in the [[South Tyrol]], the [[Austrian Littoral]], and [[Dalmatia]] (tan), and the [[Snežnik (plateau)|Snežnik Plateau]] area (green).]] The Entente Powers ultimately concluded an alliance with Italy by offering it large areas of Austria-Hungary that were inhabited by South Slavs, mostly Croats and Slovenes, along the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea. The offer was formalised as the [[Treaty of London (1915)|1915 Treaty of London]], and caused Trumbić and Supilo to reconsider their criticism of Serbian policies. This was because they saw potential Serbian war success against Austria-Hungary as the only realistic safeguard against Italian expansion into the Slovene-and-Croat-inhabited lands. Supilo was convinced Croatia would be partitioned between Italy, Serbia, and Hungary if the Treaty of London was to be implemented.{{sfn|Banac|1984|pp=119–120}} The matter became closely related to the Entente's simultaneous efforts to obtain an [[Bulgaria during World War I|alliance with Bulgaria]], or at least to secure its neutrality, in return for territorial gains against Serbia.{{sfn|Robbins|1971|p=574}} As compensation, Serbia was promised territories that were within Austria-Hungary at the time: Bosnia and Herzegovina and an outlet to the Adriatic Sea in Dalmatia. Regardless of the promised compensation, Pašić was reluctant to accede to all of the Bulgarian territorial demands, especially before Serbia had secured the new territories.{{sfn|Robbins|1971|pp=565–570}} Supilo obtained British support for plebiscites in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Dalmatia so the populace of those territories would decide on their own fate rather than Britain supplying guarantees of westward territorial expansion to Serbia.{{sfn|Mastilović|2012|p=277}} Crucially, Serbia received Russian support for its dismissal of the proposed land swap.{{sfn|Robbins|1971|pp=565–570}}
