This book explores the Eurasian borderlands as contested 'shatter
zones' which have generated some of the world's most significant
conflicts. Analyzing the struggles of Habsburg, Russian, Ottoman,
Iranian and Qing empires, Alfred J. Rieber surveys the period from
the rise of the great multicultural, conquest empires in the late
medieval/early modern period to their collapse in the early
twentieth century. He charts how these empires expanded along
moving, military frontiers, competing with one another in war,
diplomacy and cultural practices, while the subjugated peoples of
the borderlands strove to maintain their cultures and to defend
their autonomy. The gradual and fragmentary adaptation of Western
constitutional ideas, military reforms, cultural practices and
economic penetration began to undermine these ruling ideologies and
institutions, leading to the collapse of all five empires in
revolution and war within little more than a decade between 1911
and 1923.
