This book covers one of the most important and persistent problems
in nineteenth-century European diplomacy, the Eastern Question. The
Eastern Question was essentially a short hand for comprehending the
international consequences caused by the gradual and apparently
terminal decline of the Ottoman Empire in Europe. This volume
examines the military and diplomatic policies of Russia, as it
struggled with the Ottoman Empire for influence in the Balkans and
the Caucasus. The only research monograph in English to cover this
subject in such breadth and depth, Russia and the Eastern Question
is based on extensive use of Russian archive sources. It makes a
significant contribution to our understanding of issues such as the
development of Russian military thought, the origins and conduct of
the 1828-1829 Russo-Turkish War, the origins and conduct of the
1826-1828 Russo-Persian War and the Treaty of Adrianople. The
author also branches out into new territory by considering issues
such as the Russian army's use of Balkan irregulars, the reform of
the Danubian Principalities (1829 -1834), the ideas of the 'Russian
Party' and the little-known subject of Russian public opinion
toward the Eastern Question. Providing a fascinating integration of
the various aspects of Russian military thought, war planning and
campaign history, diplomacy, imperial expansion, geopolitics and
propaganda into a coherent whole, this volume will be of great
interest to scholars and students in the fields of
nineteenth-century Russian, Ottoman, Balkan, Caucasus and Persian
history, European diplomacy and warfare and war and society
studies. It will also be of interest to all those concerned with
the historical background to the Crimean war and later episodes in
the Eastern Question.
