[edit] BALKANS
This compilation of articles and photographs taken from the 'New York Times' chronicles the cultural, political and military struggles that have made The Balkans one of the most volatile and significant regions in the modern world.
The peoples of the Balkan Peninsula - Greeks, Turks, Slavs, Croats, Serbs - have struggled for centuries with a legacy of oppression and fractiousness. Divided by geography, language, religion and, above all, ethnic affiliation, they have embraced uncompromising nationalism in a perpetual, sometimes brutal drive to assert their rich cultural identities. Consequently, this tiny area has loomed large on the international landscape throughout the 20th century, destabilizing empires, sparking global war and ever threatening to upset the balance of power in Europe. Through a compilation of more than 600 articles and 100 photos taken from the New York Times, The Balkans chronicles the cultural, political and military struggles that have made this one of the most volatile and significant regions in the modern world.
