History of The Balkans

Petar Todorov

In this course we will investigate the emergence and vicissitudes of Balkan nation-states and their political, social, economic and cultural development to the fall of communism. The course’s focus will therefore be onto the nationstates that primarily make up the area known as “the Balkans”: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia as well as the youngest European nation, Kosovo. In early 19th century most of the Balkan area was ruled by the Ottoman Empire and the rest by the Habsburg Empire from Vienna. Beginning with the Serb uprising against Ottoman rule in 1804, the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw a long period of nation building processes that resulted with the creation of the first nation-states. A variety of political, social, economic, anthropological and cultural topics will be set as drives to discuss ideologies (such as nationalism, socialism, fascism and communism) and their products (image of past and historiographic production, violence, war and revolution, modernity)
