Professors Charles and Barbara Jelavich have brought their rich knowledge of the Albanians, Bulgarians, Croatians, Greeks, Romanians, Serbians, and Slovenes to bear on every aspect of the area's history--political, diplomatic, economic, social and cultural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt took more than a century after the first Balkan uprising, that of the Serbians in 1804, for the Balkan people to free themselves from Ottoman and Habsburg rule. The Serbians and the Greeks were the first to do so; the Albanians, the Croatians, and the Slovenes the last. For each people the national revival took its own form and independence was achieved in its own way. The authors explore the contrasts and similarities among the peoples, within the context of the Ottoman Empire and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis narrative deals primarily with the modern history of seven Balkan peoples--the Albanians, Bulgarians, Croatians, Greeks, Romanians, Serbians, and Slovenes--all of whom have a historical base of equal or greater antiquity than that of the western European states.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 374\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9.37 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 1986\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42134838378631,"sku":"9780295964133","price":68.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/c28425f3a4e91d683444108977f79ea5_d33c17c5-2e4d-4888-ab8d-f292ff36616c.webp?v=1732644947","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-establishment-of-the-balkan-national-states-1804-1920-paperback-1","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
