The history of the Balkans incorporates all the major historical
themes of the 20th Century--the rise of nationalism, communism and
fascism, state-sponsored genocide and urban warfare. Focusing on
the centuries opening decades, War in the Balkans seeks to shed new
light on the Balkan Wars through approaching each regional and
ethnic conflict as a separate actor, before placing them in a wider
context. Although top-down 'Great Powers' historiography is often
used to describe the beginnings of the World War I, not enough
attention has been paid to the events in the region in the years
preceding the Archduke Ferdinand's assassination. The Balkan Wars
saw the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the end of the Bulgarian
Kingdom (then one of the most powerful military countries in the
region), an unprecedented hardening of Serbian nationalism, the
swallowing up of Slovenes, Croats and Slovaks in a larger Balkan
entity, and thus set in place the pattern of border realignments
which would become familiar for much of the twentieth century.
