About This Book

A contemporary chronicle and analysis of the diplomatic crises, national ambitions, and armed conflicts that remapped Europe on the eve of the Great War. The author traces rivalries in central and southeastern Europe, examines imperial and colonial contests, and explores the decline of the Ottoman order and the volatile politics of the Balkans. Successive Balkan wars, partition schemes, and diplomatic negotiations are shown to have interacted with alliance systems and ultimatums to escalate local disputes into a continental conflagration. Eyewitness reporting, official documents, treaty analysis, and maps are used to explain shifting borders and the mechanics of the new European map.
