FOREWORD Americans regard the Balkan question much as Lincoln in his Second Inaugural Address described their view of slavery. “Ali know”, he said, “that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. . . . Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease when, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph and a result less fundamental and astounding.” There is, however, this difference between slavery and the Balkan question, that slavery, as we now see, was the real and only cause of the Civil War. Without the difference in social institutions the North and South would never have been in armed conflict, and in spite of the blunders of reconstruction the abolition of slavery has removed all danger, and suspicion of a danger, of war between the two sections of the country. Whereas the Balkan question, in its narrower sense, was rather the occasion than the cause of the struggle that is now raging. Nevertheless, the Near East has long been a source of anxiety to European statesmen, a storehouse of explosive material that might at any time start a general conflagration. It will so remain until its problems are settled upon a rational and permanent basis and until the danger of Teutonic domination has been removed. The United States will be compelled to take part in the settlement of these problems. But at present its people are, in most cases, wholly unfamiliar with the racial, religious, political and geographical factors that lie beneath the questions to be solved. They ought, therefore, to welcome a hook which portrays the recent history and condition of the peninsula and of its component nationalities, by a writer who has studied his subject on the spot. A. Lawrence Lowell. Harvard University, Cambridge. June 12, 1918 PREFACE (partial) A PRELIMINARY duty of the author of a modem volume, and especially of one dealing almost exclusively with events which have led up to, or taken place during, the world’s greatest war, seems to be to explain the reasons f or which the hook has been written, to state the methods by which the information contained in it has been acquired, and to assist the reader, who has neither time nor desire to make dose acquaintance with the whole of its pages, to discover at a glance what particular sections will be of the greatest interest to him…. …The book itself , which is based upon the manuscript from which I drew the notes for my course of lectures upon ” War and Diplomacy in the Balkans “, delivered before the Lowell Institute at Boston during the winter of 1917-1918, makes no pretension to be a continuous account of all the events which have taken place during the period which it covers. It claims merely to point out the meaning of some of the questions which have led up to and influenced the present situation. Moreover, whilst I have been a Constant visitor to the countries about which I am writing, and whilst I have had numerous conversations with many of the most prominent men mentioned in the text, I have endeavourer to bring my local knowledge of the countries and of their peoples to bear instead of depending upon Information furnished by statesmen, political chiefs, or historians, who, however honest they may wish to be, are almost invariably possessed of some national prejudice or personal feeling which prevents them from seeing this great world question with that fairness which is so necessary if we are to be in a position to grasp its true present and future significance. As far as possible, too, I have attempted to produce facts in preference to expressions of personal opinion, for, under existing circumstances, it is a clear and impartial judgment by the public rather than the verdict of a particular man which will lead to the amelioration of conditions which must be terminated by the present War. Of the twelve chapters of which the volume is composed the first is given up to a summary of the events which occurred during the sixty years preceding the outbreak of the War — a summary in course of which I have sought to point out that the so-called settlement, which followed the Balkan Wars, was of such an unsatisfactory nature as merely to prepare the way for a renewed conflagration. Chapters II to VII inclusive are devoted to accounts of recent developments, in the various Balkan States and in Turkey, and in particular to reviews of the causes which have led the different countries in question to assume their individual war policies. In the course of these sections I have alluded to the value of the Serbo-Montenegrin resistance of 1914-1915, to the meaning and importance of the Mesopotamian and Syrian campaigns, and to the reasons responsible for the Romanian defeat and for the situation existing in Greece during the greater part of the War. Chapters VIII and XI, which respectively contain accounts of the Military Highways of the Balkans and of the Bagdad Railway, accounts founded upon recent papers which I have read before The Royal Geographical Society, are in some ways more detailed and more comprehensive than are certain other sections of the hook, and this because the war importance of these Communications is such as specially to merit their careful and attentive study. In Chapters IX and X no attempt is made to provide detailed accounts of the progress of the Dardanelles and Salonica campaigns. Here my principal idea has been to suggest the objects and results of those undertakings, and to utilize my personal knowledge of the areas in question for the purpose of trying to make clear the numerous geographical and military difficulties with which these operations were or are beset….
