Description:"At the end of the twentieth century people spoke as if the Balkans had plagued Europe forever." Mark Mazower dispels current Western cliches and replaces stereotypes with an account of how mountains, empires and religions have shaped their inhabitants' lives. As a bridge between Europe and Asia the Balkans has been exposed to a constant incursion of nomadic peoples across the centuries. Mountain ranges made farming hard and political control almost impossible and allowed small communities to live side by side through to the end of the twentieth century. Empires based on religion not ethnicity shaped customs and beliefs in ways that did not entirely vanish with the coming of modernity.Maps,Introduction: Land, People, and Culture,PART I: ERA OF BYZANTINE HEGEMONY, 600-1355,East Romans, Slaves, and Bulgars,The First Bulgarian Empire,Byzantium Declines,Serbia Preeminent,Further Readings: Part One,PART II: ERA OF OTTOMAN DOMINATION, 1355-1804,Ottoman Conquest,The 'Ottoman System',The Balkan Peoples Under the Ottomans,Ottoman Destabilization,Further Readings: Part Two,PART III: ERA OF ROMANTIC NATIONALISM, 1804-1878,The Rise of Romantic Nationalism,Revolutions and Resurrected States,Ottoman 'Reform' Efforts,The 'Eastern Question',Further Readings: Part Three,PART IV: ERA OF NATION-STATE NATIONALISM, 1878-1944,Early Nation-States,National Conflicts,World War I and Versailles,The Interwar Years and World War II,Further Readings: Part Four,PART V: ERA OF SOCIALIST DOMINATION, 1945-1991,Communist Takeover,The Greek Exception,Splits in Socialism,Communist Decline and Collapse,Further Readings: Part V.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
