Description
This volume is critical to the two dominant historiographical narrations on the topic of Balkan revolutions. This new treatment does not just adopt a description of the national movements resulting from the dissolution of the territories of the Great Ottoman patient from the Great European Powers. Nor is it based purely on the autonomous process of repetitive awakenings of sleeping Nations, drugged from the Oriental influence of their ruler. Instead, the author attempts a classification as well as a new description of the Balkan national movements as a continuous feedback with the internal sociopolitical schisms in Western Europe, as expressed in the great revolutionary crises from the end of the eighteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century.
