About the Balkans

The Balkans is a large peninsula in south-eastern European. It is sandwiched between four major seas: the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic and the Aegean. This peninsula hosts a cluster of nations and provinces, including Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Bosnia.

At the turn of the century, the Balkan region was more sparsely populated and under-developed than western Europe. It had few natural resources so was not considered an economic prize. If the Balkans had value, it was geographical and geopolitical.

Located at the crossroads of three major empires (Ottoman, Russian and Austro-Hungarian) and with access to several important waterways, the Balkan region was strategically vital. For this reason, the area had for centuries been a gateway between East and West, an area of cultural and mercantile exchange and a melting pot of ethnicities and people.
