""Peace Theories and the Balkan War"" is a non-fiction book written by Norman Angell, first published in 1914. The book analyzes the causes and consequences of the Balkan Wars, which took place between 1912 and 1913, and discusses various theories of peace and conflict resolution. Angell argues that war is not a viable solution to conflicts and that it only leads to more violence and destruction. He suggests that economic interdependence and cooperation between nations are the keys to achieving lasting peace. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a detailed account of the Balkan Wars, including the political and social factors that led to the conflict. The second part examines different theories of peace and their relevance to the Balkan situation. Angell's work is considered a classic in the field of international relations and has been influential in shaping modern theories of peace and conflict resolution. It is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the causes and consequences of war and the importance of pursuing peaceful solutions to conflicts.From 1258 onwards Bulgaria may be said to have continued flickering until its final extinction as a state in 1393, but during this period it never had any voice in controlling the destinies of the Balkan peninsula. Owing to the fact that no ruler emerged capable of keeping the distracted country in order, there was a regular chasse-croise of rival princelets, an unceasing tale of political marriages and murders, conspiracies and revolts of feudal nobles all over the country, and perpetual ebb and flow of the boundaries of the warring principalities which tore the fabric of Bulgaria to pieces amongst them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
