By pitting the states of Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Montenegro against a diminished Ottoman Empire--and subsequently against one another--they anticipated many of the horrors of twentieth-century warfare even as they produced the tense regional politics that helped spark World War I. Bringing together an international group of scholars, this volume applies the social and cultural insights of the "new military history" to revisit this critical episode with a central focus on the experiences of both combatants and civilians during wartime"--Provided by publisher.HISTORY / Europe / EasternbisacshBalkan PeninsulaHistoryWar of 1912-191320th century warfare.balkan krieg.cause of ww i.enemy combatants.great war.greece.ground force invasions.higher education.historical records.international history.military drama.military history.montenegro.ottoman empire.political history.political.regional politics.scholars.serbia.social history.wartime.ww i.HISTORY / Europe / Eastern.949.6Boeckh KatrinRutar SabineMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796895803321The wars of yesterday3810252UNINA
