122. The Ottomans: European Imperialism And Crisis The Second Balkan War erupted just two years later (1913), when Greece, Serbia, and Montenegro This was the last military victory in Ottoman history. http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~dee/OTTOMAN/EUROPE.HTM

Ottoman history in the nineteenth century was dominated by European wars and expansion. The Europeans madly scrambled for territory throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Some of this was European territory, but far and away, the bulk of the territory that Europeans desired was non-European. Human history has never seen such rapid and frenetic annexation of territory as occurred in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The end result for the Ottomans was the loss of Empire, and, finally, the loss of the Ottoman dynasty itself. The Crimean War The first major Ottoman war, the Crimean War This war is unique in Ottoman history in that the outcome wasn't heavily influenced by the Ottomans themselves. The war soon became a European war when Britain and France allied with the Ottomans in order to protect their lucrative trade interests in the region. The war ended badly for the Russians, and the Paris peace of 1856 was unfavorable to them. In textbooks, the Crimean War is presented entirely from the perspective of the Europeans, for it brought home the fact that more European powers were willing to overthrow the old order than to maintain it. It had, though, important consequences for the Ottoman Empire, as well. From this point onwards, the Ottoman Empire saw itself as being heavily controlled by Europeans. The Crimean War initiated a decline in Ottoman morale and a helplessness. Europeans, for their part, no longer saw the Ottomans as an equal force to be reckoned with, but as a tool to be used in larger European concerns.

A U.S. army sergeant was shot through the hand in Macedonia on Monday when the vehicle he was riding in came under fire. A second U.S. soldier lost his foot after stepping on a landmine while on patrol in neighbouring Kosovo, officials at the Pentagon told CNN. The soldier in Macedonia was riding in a car to the north-east of the Macedonian capital of Skopje when unidentified gunmen opened fire on the vehicle, a senior Pentagon official said. His injuries were described as "non-life threatening." A second U.S. soldier on patrol near the Kosovo town of Vitina lost a foot on Monday morning when he apparently stepped on a landmine, officials said. That soldier was taken by medi-vac helicopter to the U.S. Army medical facility at Camp Bondsteel, the U.S.'s main military base in Kosovo, officials said.

More than two hundred thousands civilians have been killed in Bosnia and Croatia since the beginning of the war. Tens of thousands of women were raped , some of them more than a hundred times, while their sons and husbands were beaten and tortured in concentration camps like Omarska and Manjaca. Millions lost their homes due to a process called "ethnic cleansing." Refugees lost their homes and belongings and it is difficult for their relatives and loved ones to locate them now. They also rarely have access to computers with modems. Sometimes they live in abandoned railroad wagons, like in Cakovec , Croatia.

What they do know is that NATO countries have so far reported 16 deaths and 57 illnesses among former Balkans military personnel with the weapons blamed by some for cases of leukaemia and other illnesses. Latency periods for leukaemia average about five years, and other forms of cancer can gestate for 10 years or longer. And some experts wonder how it is possible to separate out exposure to depleted uranium weapons from exposure to other toxic chemicals released in modern warfare.

139. Balkan Politics In The Cold War Years A lecture discussing the impact of the Cold War and Communist rule on the Balkan nations. Critiques traditional historical views of the Cold War's impact on the domestic politics of communist rule in the balkans. http://www.lib.msu.edu/sowards/balkan/lect22.htm

Twenty-Five Lectures on Modern Balkan History Lecture 22: Balkan politics in the Cold War years Previous lecture Complete list of lectures Next lecture Lecture 21 criticized conventional, stereotypical views of the origin of the Cold War on two grounds. First: that those views substitute conclusions for questions, then tend to overlook important facts that don't support those conclusions. Second: that those views trivialize or ignore Balkan historical events by subordinating them to studies of decisions made in Moscow and Washington. One can make a similar critique of conventional histories of the Cold War era as a whole. It is not that these books say something incorrect about the Balkans, but rather that they say nothing at all. Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary vanish into the Russian maw in 1945 or perhaps 1948 never to be seen again (except in the pages of some very recent books, which see them reemerge in 1989 apparently untouched). Colorful Bulgarians occasionally pass across the stage on their way to assassinate the Pope or murder some dissidents using poisoned umbrellas. For the rest, silence. Whatever their value as histories of the Cold War of the Super-Powers, such books obviously are useless as histories of the Balkans during the last fifty years: they ignore too much. Despite "free world" concerns about "captive nations," much of Western scholarship exhibits a massive indifference to the lives of the inhabitants of the Balkans. By placing full blame for the Cold War on the Russians, Western writers also condescend to Balkan leaders, absolving them from both responsibility and authority for events from 1945 to the present. These views have been blind as well to profound variations in Balkan political and economic life, and have created inaccurate impressions of bland uniformity. We snicker at the image of Woodrow Wilson fumbling to find Romania on a map in 1918, but it should come as no surprise that too many leaders today are still clueless about the Balkans and how to solve problems there.
