The impact of nationalism in the Balkans and the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire are examined in relation to Macedonia, with special reference to the bloody territorial struggles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The partitioning of Macedonia among Greece, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Albania and the inter-war experience are discussed, as are World War II and the Greek civil war. Later chapters examine how Tito fostered a separate Macedonian consciousness and how the Macedonians fared in relation to the other Yugoslav ethnic groups. The book concludes with Macedonia's emergence as an independent state and its role in the Kosovo conflict. |
