Barbara Jelavich was hoogleraar geschiedenis, gespecialiseerd in de diplomatieke geschiedenissen van de Russische en Habsburgse monarchieën, de diplomatie van het Ottomaanse Rijk en de geschiedenis van de Balkan. Haar wetenschap duikt in de ingewikkelde relaties tussen grootmachten en hun impact op regionale ontwikkelingen. Jelavich onderzoekt nauwgezet hoe politieke machinaties en strategische allianties het lot van naties in heel Europa hebben gevormd. Haar werk biedt diepgaande inzichten in de internationale politiek en de invloed ervan op historische gebeurtenissen.
This volume concentrates on the Balkan wars and World War II, which both had their origins in the desire of nationalist circles to complete the territorial unification of their states. A substantial part of this book deals with the wartime experience, the establishment of the postwar regimes and their internal development to 1980 and the divergent paths followed by the five states (Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, Romania and Serbia) since 1945.
Volume I discusses the history of the major Balkan nationalities. It describes the differing conditions experienced under Ottoman and Habsburg rule, but the main emphasis is on the national movements, their successes and failures to 1900, and the place of events in the Balkans in the international relations of the day.

The book explores Russia's entanglement in Balkan affairs from 1806 to 1914, focusing on the motivations behind its involvement in five wars. It delves into how treaty obligations and historical ties compelled the Russian government into conflicts that jeopardized its great power status and strained its resources. The high human and economic costs of these wars not only hindered internal development but also contributed to domestic unrest, culminating in significant changes following defeats in 1856 and 1917.
