Discover the complex and often turbulent history of the Balkans with this fascinating book.
From ancient times to the present day, this book covers the key events and factors that have shaped the region, and provides a nuanced and complex understanding of the ongoing challenges faced by the Balkans today.
The book begins with the impact of Ottoman rule on the Balkans, which lasted for nearly 500 years and left a lasting imprint on the region's culture and identity. From the 18th century onward, various Balkan states began to push for independence from the Ottoman Empire, leading to a series of conflicts and wars that eventually resulted in the establishment of independent Balkan states.
The book then moves on to explore the role of the Balkans in World War I and II, including the experiences of Serbian soldier and nationalist Gavrilo Princip, whose assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand sparked the First World War. The Second World War saw the region caught in the crossfire between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, with devastating consequences for the region's people and economy.
