In Eastern Europe, the two Balkan Wars of 1912/13 had greater importance than the First World War for the construction of nations and states. This volume shows how these "short" wars profoundly changed the sociopolitical situation in the Balkans, with consequences that are still felt today. More than one hundred years later, the successors of the belligerent states in Southeastern Europe memorialize the wars as heroic highlights of their respective pasts. Furthermore, the metaphor that the Balkans were Europe's "powder keg", perpetuated at the beginning of the twentieth century in the face of these wars, was reactivated in both the West and the East up through the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. The authors entangle the hitherto exclusive national master narratives and analyse them cogently and trenchantly for an international readership. They make an indispensable contribution to the proper integration of the Balkan Wars into the European historical memory of twentieth-century warfare. 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aRussia$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aCollective memory 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History 606 $aMemory Studies 606 $aMilitary History 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aRussia$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern$xHistory. 615 0$aSoviet Union$xHistory. 615 0$aCollective memory. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 14$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 615 24$aMemory Studies. 615 24$aMilitary History. 615 24$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 676 $a940.903 702 $aBoeckh$b Katrin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRutar$b Sabine$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739437703321 996 $aThe Balkan Wars from Contemporary Perception to Historic Memory$93552686 997 $aUNINA
