Abstract

The Balkans at the Peace Conference
Duggan, Stephen P. | December 14, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

In the two great Peace Congresses held in the nineteenth century, the Congress of Paris in 1856 and that of Berlin in 1878, the Balkan peoples were treated as mere pawns in the diplomatic game. Their wishes and their interests received scanty consideration and were unhesitatingly sacrificed to the political, economic, or strategic needs of the Great Powers. The veriest tyro in Balkan history is aware that the dispositions made at those congresses, especially at the Congress of Berlin, were likely and sometimes even deliberately intended to sow discord among the small Balkan states and to compel each of them to look for support to one or other of the Great Powers
