This collection of historical essays is dedicated to the situation in the Balkans at the beginning of the 20th century. At the center of the analysis are the events of 1908 which provoked radical changes in the political and ethnic order which had come about during the 1800s. These reconstructed events are set in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ottoman Turkey, Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Albania, Kosovo and Romania, seen in the wider context of the Great Powers of the time, especially Austria-Hungary and Russia.
The reader will discover in these pages how the events of 1908 led to the origins of a century of conflict. These historical events were crucial in determining the evolution of the European political framework which led to the catastrophe of World War I and the end of the great multinational empires.
