Abstract

Curry argues that the Balkan Wars of 1912 and 1913 were a direct result of decisions made in the 1878 Congress of Berlin. He identifies that the conclusions made around four main questions of how to deal with the Balkan states led to superficial solutions unconcerned with complicated Balkan ethnicities and communities. Through the use of secondary sources he is able to examine the historiography of the situation, and furthermore through the use of primary source articles from the Congress and political memorandums, he analyzes the direct correlation between the events.
