Peace Theories And The Balkan War

Peace Theories and the Balkan War is a book written by Norman Angell, which explores the causes and consequences of the Balkan War of 1912-1913. The book examines the various theories of peace that were prevalent at the time, including pacifism, internationalism, and arbitration, and argues that these theories failed to prevent the outbreak of war in the Balkans. Angell also analyzes the role of nationalism and imperialism in the conflict, as well as the geopolitical interests of the major powers, such as Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Germany. He argues that the Balkan War was a precursor to the larger conflicts that would engulf Europe in the years to come, and that the failure of peace theories to prevent war in the Balkans was a warning of the dangers of nationalism and imperialism.Overall, Peace Theories and the Balkan War is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the causes and consequences of the Balkan War, and a valuable contribution to the study of international relations and peace studies.From 1258 onwards Bulgaria may be said to have continued flickering until its final extinction as a state in 1393, but during this period it never had any voice in controlling the destinies of the Balkan peninsula. Owing to the fact that no ruler emerged capable of keeping the distracted country in order, there was a regular chasse-croise of rival princelets, an unceasing tale of political marriages and murders, conspiracies and revolts of feudal nobles all over the country, and perpetual ebb and flow of the boundaries of the warring principalities which tore the fabric of Bulgaria to pieces amongst them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
