Abstract
The long 19th century will end in reverse of how it began. If it began with a revolution, the French, which will cause conflicts that spanned two decades, the Napoleonic Wars, it will end with a Great War, which will in turn cause a revolution, the Russian one, which will claim for itself to complete the principles on which the first was based. Mainly the principle of equality. But how can such an approach to the revolutionary phenomenon in its relation to war make us look again with another eye or reinterpret the history of the Balkans? By seeing the emergence of national movements in the Balkans, therefore the uprisings that claimed the status of revolution, not as an autonomous process of awakening nor as an automatic result of the competition of the Great Powers in the area of the Eastern Mediterranean. But to treat the national movements as correspondences of the revolutionary process that marked the very history of the West. National movements in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, in a vast geographical area from Poland to Greece, will constantly negotiate their identity based on the West’s internal fissures. Wars, usually between the continental empires (the Ottoman, Habsburg and Romanov), as well as some of them with the colonial empires, were the result of these internal divisions.
