This new addition to Greenwood's Histories of the Modern Nations
series provides a comprehensive introduction to the intertwined
histories of Croatia and Slovenia, two Balkan nations and former
members of the Yugoslav Federation. The recent histories of Croatia
and Slovenia have been relatively stable, as both countries have
merged successfully into modern Europe. But how did these countries
arrive at such a place? The History of Croatia and Slovenia
provides factual overviews of these countries' political systems,
geographical details, significant individuals, and more. The volume
opens with the prehistoric and ancient roots of these states,
though this history predates their modern ethnic and linguistic
identities as we know them. Chapters cover the Roman period,
followed by barbarian waves and the countries' subsequent
absorption into the Venetian, Hungarian, and Holy Roman Empires.
The modern period of national awakening in the nineteenth century,
when the ethno-genesis of modern Croatia and Slovenia began, is
covered in great detail. The volume additionally covers subsequent
turbulent events such as WWI, WWII, the Holocaust, Communist
Yugoslavia, and its civil wars of the 1990s, through the events of
2019. Written in approachable yet scholarly language, this volume
is ideal for high school and university students, as well as any
reader interested in Balkan or European history. Covers the
oft-overlooked contributions to European development made by
various ethnic groups no longer extant, such as the Avars, and the
unexpected modernity of former civilizations, such as the Republic
of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) Provides a critical view of the past century
of political turbulence in this part of the Balkans, objectively
discussing the mixed roles of local and foreign protagonists and
their continuing legacies Includes a chronology of important events
in the histories of both Croatia and Slovenia, providing students
with an at-a-glance overview of the two countries' histories
Provide biographies of those who have made important contributions
to the countries through history in an appendix of Notable People
in the History of Croatia and Slovenia Provides readers with
detailed information on further resources for their personal
research in an annotated bibliography
