The Habsburg Monarchy and Balkan Revolution

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  10 February 2009

Extract

The profound involvement of the Habsburg monarchy in various revolutionary manifestations in the Balkans since the subjugation of that peninsula by the Ottoman Turks has generally not been deemed worthy of investigation by historians. Only a handful of specialized articles and a few pages in the scant existing studies on Habsburg foreign policy have been devoted to the study of Austrian relations with actual or potential revolutionary elements. There has been a general neglect of Balkan studies by Austrian scholars and of Austrian studies by Balkan scholars.
