Book
The Balkan Wars
The Balkan Wars examines the two conflicts of 1912–13 that drove the Ottoman Empire from most of its remaining European territory and then divided its former allies. It explains the rival ambitions of Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Montenegro, the campaigns against Ottoman forces and the rapid breakdown of the Balkan League. The book concludes by showing how the territorial disputes and nationalist tensions left by the wars contributed to the instability that preceded the First World War.
