This book explores the historial role of the Balkan Wars. In
Eastern Europe, the two Balkan Wars of 1912/13 had greater
importance than the First World War for the construction of nations
and states. This volume shows how these "short" wars profoundly
changed the sociopolitical situation in the Balkans, with
consequences that are still felt today. More than one hundred years
later, the successors of the belligerent states in Southeastern
Europe memorialize the wars as heroic highlights of their
respective pasts. Furthermore, the metaphor that the Balkans were
Europe's "powder keg", perpetuated at the beginning of the
twentieth century in the face of these wars, was reactivated in
both the West and the East up through the Yugoslav wars of the
1990s. The authors entangle the hitherto exclusive national master
narratives and analyse them cogently and trenchantly for an
international readership. They make an indispensable contribution
to the proper integration of the Balkan Wars into the European
historical memory of twentieth-century warfare.
