It is titled, The Musical Relationship Between England and the Ottoman Empire. The data that I obtained from the Ottoman and National archives was presented after the analysing process. In this article, the role of music in the relationship between the states and societies is analysed from the time of first diplomatic relationship to the time of the collapse of Ottoman Empire. Additionally, we examined the phenomenon of the use of music as a diplomatic and politic instrument between these countries by specific examples.The main sources of this article were predominantly obtained in the Ottoman Archive, National Archive and British Library. The catalogue numbers of some of them were presented in conclusion, with the thought that they can be used in the future project.

Montenegrin Heroes, Turkish Barbarians and Western Observers. – Ethnologia Europaea 31: 21–36. From the 19th century onwards, Western travellers paid full attention to the custom of cutting-off human heads in the Balkans which they perceived as a clear- cut line between civilised and barbarian forms of existence. The image of the Balkans and its people in these travel reports was seasoned with a liberal measure of partiality and biases, for it was not unimportant at all who did it. Montenegrins head-cutters were heroes, “Turkish” head-cutters were the barbarians. On the other hand, the vivid interest by Westerners showed for the “barbarous custom” in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries indicate that in the West the barbarian “Other” had been but repressed rather than completely eliminated.

  • A “Lasting Solution”: the Eastern Question and British Imperialism, 1875-1878
    A “Lasting Solution”: The Eastern Question and British Imperialism, 1875-1878 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Leslie Rogne Schumacher IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Anna Clark, Ph.D. July 2012 © Leslie Rogne Schumacher 2012 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements often mention the trouble of making sure every person who helped the author is named and thanked. For me the problem is not so much the identity of those who have aided me, but rather making sure I thank everyone properly. At the risk of a cliché, I would say that this might be the single hardest part of the dissertation process in that appropriate gratitude cannot be cloaked, as much academic writing is, by vague or pedantic language. A thank-you deserves to be said as clearly as possible. This thesis would not have been possible without regular support, cajoling, and at times even gentle coercion from my family. My mother, Dr. Leah Rogne, herself a veteran of the war against the dissertation, spoke to me with the combination of empathy and deference that comes with having fought through the wounds and setbacks of a Ph.D. program to final triumph. She taught me that writing a dissertation is a glorious, unique intellectual endeavor that invariably comes in the form of a long, often painful slog of general busywork. The realization that there is no conflict between these two aspects of serious academic writing was key to maintaining my progress, despite my desires at times to pack it all in and quit.

The initiative came from King Alexander I Karadjordjević, while the Institute’s scholarly profile was created by Ratko Parežanin and Svetozar Spanaćević. The Institute published Revue internationale des Études balkaniques, which assembled most prominent European experts on the Balkans in various disciplines. Its work was banned by the Nazi occupation authorities in 1941. The Institute was not re-established until 1969, under its present-day name and under the auspices of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. It assembled a team of scholars to cover the Balkans from prehistory to the modern age and in a range of different fields of study, such as archaeology, ethnography, anthropology, history, culture, art, literature, law. This multidisciplinary approach remains its long-term orientation.

Sakmyster Abstract “Njegoš's Montenegro, the Great Powers, and Modernization in the Balkans: 1830-1851” I analyze the role of Petar II Petrović Njegoš as Montenegro's vladika (the hereditary bishop-prince and ruler), as a European statesman, and as a modernizer in the nineteenth century. Although Njegoš is most known for his poetry, the most famous of which is Gorksi Vijenac (The Mountain Wreath), I examine more than his literary works by evaluating his political, social, and economic accomplishments and failures as the traditional ruler of Montenegro, a nationalist, and a diplomat. I scrutinize the successes and failures of Njegoš’s politics in two environments – that of nineteenth century Montenegro and of the European power struggle in the Balkans. Njegoš believed that in order to accomplish stability in his country, he had to establish Montenegro as a political presence in the European state-system, as well as modernize certain aspects of Montenegro’s internal political, economic, and social structures.

  • Miloš Ković the Beginning of the 1875 Serbian Uprising in Herzegovina the British Perspective It Is a Well Known Fact That
    Miloš Ković DOI:10.2298/BALC1041055K Original scholarly work History Department School of Philosophy University of Belgrade The Beginning of the 1875 Serbian Uprising in Herzegovina The British Perspective Abstract: The main goal of this article is to scrutinize the contemporary British sources, in order to establish what they say about the causes of the insurrection in Herzegovina which marked the beginning of the Eastern Crisis of 1875–1878. The official reports of British diplomats, the observations of newspaper correspondents, and the instruc- tions of London policy makers support the conclusion that the immediate cause of the insurrection was agrarian discontent, especially tithe collecting. In considering the “external influences” on the outbreak of the insurrection, the British emphasized the role of Austria-Hungary and Montenegro. Behind these countries, they saw the shadow of the Three Emperors’ League, which was perceived as the main threat to the Ottoman Empire and, consequently, to the balance of power in Europe. Serbia was not seen as directly involved in the events in Herzegovina. Later on, at the time of Prince Milan’s visit to Vienna, and as volunteers from Serbia began to be despatched to Herzegovina, the British diplomats increasingly perceived Serbia, in addition to Montenegro, as another tool of the Three Emperors’ League. Keywords: Great Britain, Foreign Office, uprising in Herzegovina, Eastern Question, Austria-Hungary, Montenegro, Serbia, Russia t is a well known fact that the Eastern Crisis of 1875–1878 was sparked by an uprising of unruly highlanders in Herzegovina. But there is no de- finitiveI explanation as to why and how the Herzegovinian uprising began.

  • Timeline / 1840 to 1900 / ALL COUNTRIES / MIGRATIONS
    Timeline / 1840 to 1900 / ALL COUNTRIES / MIGRATIONS Date Country Theme Middle of the 19th century Romania Migrations The mid-19th century is the beginning of Italian immigration in the Romanian countries. For 1868, the presence of approximately 600 Italian workers in Romania is documented. Italian intellectuals and artists also settle in Romania, such as composer, director and music professor Alfons Castaldi. About 1860 France Migrations Massive rural exodus to Paris, in particular farmers from the Auvergne region. 1840s United Kingdom Migrations Aden becomes a British Crown Colony in 1839 administered (until 1937) not from London but from India. Indians migrating to practise trade and the professions help to duplicate what is happening in India, albeit in a smaller way, in the Gulf and Iraq. 1845 - 1852 United Kingdom Migrations The Great Famine, or “Irish Potato Famine” as it is known, is a period of huge significance in Irish national history, not least because the country lost about a quarter of its population: a million people died from starvation and disease and another million emigrated. A number of factors – including absentee landlords, land acquisitions, the corn laws, anti-Catholic sentiment and crop failures due to “potato blight” – brought about the famine at a time when around two-fifths of the population were reliant solely on potatoes. 1849 - 1850 Austria Migrations The revolutionary General Józef Zachariasz Bem flees Austria for the Ottoman Empire along with 6,000 Hungarian soldiers. He becomes a Turkish General and in 1850 suppresses a Muslim pogrom against the Christian minority in Aleppo. 1850 France Migrations First wave of Italian immigrants to France.
