Balkans wars

Macedonian historiography, even though a relatively young scientific discipline compared to the other Balkan historiographies, has so far elaborated the main events and processes related to the Balkan Wars (1912-1913). However, it is understandable that in the future they all should complement each other with new findings and approaches derived on the basis of some new historical sources and analysis. The individual war actions of the Greek Army in the Ottoman Macedonia during the First Balkan War in the Macedonian historiography are not presented enough so far. Because of this, the purpose of this article is to explain the Greek national politics and aspirations of the official Athens regarding the Macedonian population and territory, with a special accent on the military and political strategy of Greece during the First Balkan War. Апстракт: Македеонската историографија, иако релативно млада научна дисциплина во однос на другите балкански историографии, до сега ги има разработено главните настани и процеси поврзани со балканските војни (1912-1913). Меѓутоа, сосема е разбирливо дека во иднина сите тие ќе треба да се надополнуваат со нови наоди и пристапи кои произлегуваат од одредени нови историски извори и анализи. Одредени воени активности на грчката војска во Отоманска Македонија во текот на Првата 327 (495 : 497.7) " 1912/1918 " 94 (495 : 497.7) " 1912/1918 "

The article describes the reporting of the Second Balkan war in the Zadar half-weeklies "Narodni list" and "Hrvatska kruna". Alongside an assessment of the newspaper articles the author statistically groups them into regionally specified rubrics. Since the two half-weeklies had different political orientations, namely, "Narodni list" reflecting the opinions of the Croatian party in Dalmatia and "Hrvatska kruna" being the organ of the Party of Right in Dalmatia, the author sought to prove that different political orientations were reflected in the way the Second Balkan war was covered. The Balkan wars had an exceptional influence on the political atmosphere in Dalmatia. The Balkan wars raised to the highest point the euphoria for ideas expressing All-Slavic, South-Slavic and Pro-Serbia inclinations in Dalmatia. The Second Balkan war was chosen because it was a negation of these inclinations and affinities. The article shows that the two Zadar half-weeklies "Narodni list" and "Hrvatska kruna" responded differently to the problem. The author concludes that whereas "Narodni list" continued its policy of expressing support for Serbia and South Slav idea, "Hrvatska kruna" assumes a principled neutral attitude towards the parties involved in the Second Balkan war although it shows affinities for Bulgaria and denounces manifestation of the Serb-Croatian idea as a negation of the Croatian national idea.
