Did Nicholas II of Russia send telegrams demanding evacuation of Serbs?
score:1
Okay, since we've been shown a various articles regarding this event, I think that I can, as LangLangC suggested, self-answer this question.
[This is blockquote1 in question] We have Wikipedia's paragraph that states that Nikolai II wrote a telegram by himself, demanding help on Albanian shore for Serbs (from IT, FR and GB), or else he will resign the alliance and leave the war. Now, if we take in mind that almost everyone can write what they think that is correct on Wikipedia's pages, I personally, wouldn't take this as 100% correct answer.
[This is blockquote2 in question] Then, we come to the BBC's article about the same situation, where Serbian historical Predrag Markovic (who graduated History on Belgrade University with a degree of 9.88/10(Bachlor degree), and later finished Master studies, as well as Doctor studies) says that the telegram itself was never found, and thinks that writing in that way (threatening to leave the war) was not in common at that period of time, so he is quite sceptic.
As written in the comment section, Lang found a link that says:
After reading the reports and the telegram(From Nikola Pasic, Serbian PM), Tsar Nicholas immediately wrote a telegram to the King of England, in his own name and with his signature, the telegram in English read:
"I ask you to try to help our brave allies, the Serbs." As you know, a large part of their army is waiting to leave the Albanian coast. It is necessary to save Serbian troops as soon as possible. They will undoubtedly be of great benefit to all allies later. "If England and France can ensure their fast and reliable embarkation and transport to Corfu, I am convinced that they will do a just and noble deed." The dispatch, with approximately the same content, was sent by Tsar Nicholas and the President of the French Republic, Mr. Poinquere.
This personal commitment to the authority of the Russian Tsar Nikolai himself had an effect on the allies.
In RTS's (Radio Television of Serbia, who is the biggest national TV company) article, they state - (Again, my translation)
Help of Russian Tsar
Ally's didn't know what to do with Serbian army, where to evacuate and reorganize. At one moment, after the sinking of Brindsi (Italian) ship, in December of 1915, every shipment of help was canceled. Regent Aleksandar, who was desperate sent a letter to Russian Tsar Nikolai, begging for help. After energetic reaction of the Tsar, evacuation and help has started.
I've asked my relative, who is, one could say sort of a fanatic for history about this event, and whose opinion I personally appreciate, whom stated that reaction of Nikolai must have been harsh, probably including a declaration of peace with Germany. Eventually, Tsar's daughter was supposed to get married for Regent Aleksandar of Serbia , so their relationship must have been on a high step. "He was said to have wished to marry Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia, a cousin of his wife and the second daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, and was distraught by her untimely death in the Russian Civil War."
Conclusion - After gathering everything together, my personal opinion about this occurrence is that Telegram was actually sent, but Russia, if not threatening to leave the war, said something as much important as that. Nevertheless, they did definitely ask ally's to hurry with help, which they did, and this significantly helped Serbian people who were on the Albania coast.
