This is the first in a trilogy of books to explore the Eurasian
borderlands as contested 'shatter zones' which have generated some
of the world's most significant conflicts. Analysing the struggles
of the Habsburg, Russian, Ottoman, Iranian and Qing Empires, Alfred
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 whilst the
subjugated peoples of the borderlands strove to maintain their
cultures and 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.
