The Balkans have often been a flashpoint of conflict in European history. The recent civil war has torn the country apart and the region faces an uncertain future. This authoritative study provides an account of the history of the whole area from the first major nationalist rising against its Ottoman rulers in 1804 to the aftermath of World War II. Covering the former Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania , it provides a Balkan-wide overview as well as histories of specific states and sets the context to the recent conflict.
In this authoritative account of Balkan history from the first major nationalist rising in the region against its then Ottoman rulers in 1804 to the aftermath of World War II, Stevan Pavlowitch interweaves Balkan-wide overviews with detailed accounts of the specific states, and sets these stories in their wider European setting. A lucid and accessible guide to one of the flashpoints of European conflict.
