Merle d’Aubigne B o o k s F o r Th e A g e s AGES Software • Albany, OR USA Version 1.0 © 1998 2 HISTORY OF THE REFORMATION IN EUROPE IN THE TIME OF CALVIN. BY J. H. MERLE D’AUBIGNE, D.D., AUTHOR OF the ‘HISTORY OF the REFORMATION OF the SIXTEENTH CENTURY,’ ETC. Les choses de petite duree ont coutume de devenir fanees, quand elles ont passe leur temps. ‘Au regne de Christ, il n’y a que le nouvel homme qui soit florissant, qui ait de la vigueur, et dont il faille faire cas.’ CALVIN. VOL. 7 GENEVA. DENMARK, SWEDEN, NORWAY. HUNGARY, POLAND, BOHEMIA. THE NETHERLANDS. 3 EDITOR’S PREFACE. A WHOLE year has elapsed since the publication of the sixth volume of the History of the Reformation. But this delay is owing to the fact that the editor has been unable to devote to this under-taking more than the scanty leisure hours of an active ministry; and not, as some have supposed, to the necessity of compiling the History from notes more or less imperfect left by the author. The following narrative, like that which has preceded it, is wholly written by M. Merle d’Aubigne himself. The editor repeats the statement made on the publication of the last volume—that his task has consisted solely in verifying the numerous quotations occurring in the text or as foot-notes, and in curtailing, in two or three places, some general reflections which interfered with the rapid flow of the narrative, and which the author would certainly have either suppressed or condensed if it had been permitted him to put the finishing touches to his work.

GREAT POWERS GREAT Professor John Keiger, University of Salford The Great Powers and the European States System, 1814–1914 is a full analytical narrative of the functioning of the European states system over the nineteenth century between the fall of Napoleon in 1814 and the outbreak of the First World War just one hundred years later. It examines the variety of devices, manoeuvres and feats of statesmanship by means of which decision-makers managed the interplay of their interests, common and conflicting – including the dangerous Eastern Question – without exposing Europe to the catastrophe of a general conflagration: AND THE ➤ systems of active co-operation, such as the ‘Congress system’ or the Concert of Europe ➤ periods of ‘international anarchy’ in which, if wars were endemic they were at least limited ➤ the stabilizing effects of the predominance of conservative status quo Powers in the Bismarckian era ➤ the dangerously polarised system that emerged on the eve of the First World War. At nearly double the length of the first edition, this book is a very major revision and update. It includes not only the results of the latest research, but also a body of THE additional information and a number of illuminating maps that will make the subject even more accessible to readers.

History of the Ottoman – Habsburg wars around the ‘Militärgrenze’ in the 16th - 17th century The Ottoman–Habsburg wars refers to the military conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg dynasties of the Austrian Empire, Spain and the Kingdom of Hungary. The Ottomans started with the conquest of Bosnie in 1463 and they made significant gains with a decisive victory at Mohács in 1529. The capture of Buda in 1541 brought a great part of Hungary to the status of an Ottoman tributary. Till the end of the 16 th century a divided Europe could not counter this military power. The Protestant Reformation, the France-Habsburg rivalry and the civil conflicts in Germany served as distractions.

  • South Slav-Russian Relations in the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century Intrusion, Resentment, and Mutual Naiveté
    South Slav-Russian Relations in the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century Intrusion, Resentment, and Mutual Naiveté David Crockett University of Minnesota Abstract This article examines the myth of “eternal friendship” between Bulgarians and Russians and how their mutual failure to understand the other’s motives gave way to resentment, estrangement, and mutual naiveté, straining this supposed natural affinity. The article begins by examining the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 and its aftermath, which provides a case study of the ambiguous and changing relationship between Russia and the South Slavs. The second part of the article examines in greater detail the cultural and political affinities between two peoples—including Pan-Slavism, a common Orthodox religion, and similar languages—and why these commonalities still failed to overcome Bulgarian national self-interest and desires for national independence. While this article focuses on Bulgaria, many of the arguments can also be applied to Serbia and other South Slavic countries. Article For nearly five hundred years, Russia has been affectionately known as Dyado Ivan—“Grandfather Ivan”—by the Bulgarian people, and during the long, cruel years of Turkish oppression, they looked towards Moscow with hope and longing, in the unshakable belief that their Russian elder brothers would come and liberate them.1 So repeats historian Mercia MacDermott the “myth” of “eternal friendship” between Russians and Bulgarians that has been sometimes accepted and sometimes rejected by both historians and the general public. The origins of this myth are many, both subtle and obvious, and will be discussed later in this article. Language certainly played an important role in the development of close ties between the two peoples, as did dissatisfaction with 1 Mercia MacDermott, A History of Bulgaria 1393-1885 (London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd., 1962), 56.

  • Great Powers and Albanian National Movement (1878-1914)
    International Relations and Diplomacy, April 2018, Vol. 6, No. 4, 239-250 doi: 10.17265/2328-2134/2018.04.003 D D AV I D PUBLISHING Great Powers and Albanian National Movement (1878-1914) Petr Akhmedovich Iskenderov Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia The history of the Albanian national movement is closely connected with two key factors: internal development in the Albanian-populated areas in the Balkans as well as politics of the Great Powers. Berlin Congress of 1878 totally neglected interests of the Albanians. Subsequently, Treaty of Berlin became the starting point for creation of the Albanian League of Prizren (1878-1881) as well as future development of the Albanian national movement. Russia as well as other Great Powers played a controversial role in that context. Keywords: Russia, Balkan Peninsula, Balkan Wars, World War I, Albania, Kosovo The history of the Albanian national movement is closely connected with two key factors: internal development in the Albanian-populated areas in the Balkans as well as politics of the Great Powers. The Congress of Berlin 1878 totally neglected interests of the Albanians. As a result, the League of Prizren was established as the mean to promote the goals of the Albanian national movement. That League confronted with some Balkan states and Great Powers. But at the same time, it created the first program of Albanian national unification. By that time, serious unsettled disputes among the Great Powers themselves affected discussions concerning the present and the future of Albania—first of all, contradictions between Vienna and Saint Petersburg. The secret Reichstadt agreement between Russia and Austria-Hungary, concluded on 8 July, 1876 following the meeting of the Russian Emperor Alexander II and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince A.

Although historians have greatly succeeded in bringing to the surface what (in all probability) happened, in explaining hidden moves and motives, and even in gearing one to another a great variety of – mainly nationalistically biased – points of view, these ambiguities and contradic- tions have continued to contribute to the Austro-Hungarian occupation being the subject of divergent interpretations and controversies in the light of new conceptual approaches to history, e.g. (post)colonial studies. This paper aims at pointing out some of the ambiguities and paradoxes of Vienna‟s late 19th cen- tury Balkan policy, produced by both the dual structure of the empire and its complex relations with Russia, and still puzzling contemporary researchers fa- thoming the „true nature‟ of the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia-Herze- govina. The involvement of the Habsburg Empire in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in the Balkans is an aspect of the so-called »Eastern Question« (Orientfrage), created by the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and the claims laid on parts of its territory by other powers.1 The Eastern Question emerged by the end of the 18th century and reached its apogee between the Crimean War (1853-1856) and World War I.

    Eastern Question: Great Eastern Crisis Great Eastern Crisis In 1875, the territory of Herzegovina rebelled against its ruler, the Sultan, in the now famous Herzegovinian rebellion, which led to insurrection in the Province of Bosnia as well as in Bulgaria. The Great Powers believed that their intervention was necessary, lest a disastrous and bloody war break out in the Balkans. The first to act were the members of the League of the Three Emperors Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia, whose common attitude toward the Eastern Question was embodied in the Andrassy Note named for the Hungarian diplomat Julius, Count Andrassy. The Note, seeking to avoid a widespread conflagration in Southeastern Europe, urged the Sultan to institute various reforms, including one granting religious liberty to Christians. A joint commission of Christians and Muslims was to be established to ensure the enactment of the appropriate reforms. With the approval of the United Kingdom and France, the Note was submitted to the Sultan, whose agreement was secured on 31 January 1876. The Herzegovinian leaders, however, rejected the proposal, pointing out that the Sultan had already made promises to institute reforms but had failed to fulfill them. Representatives of the Three Emperors met once again in Berlin, where they approved the Berlin Memorandum. To convince the Herzegovinians that the Sultan would indeed keep his promises, the Memorandum suggested that international representatives be allowed to oversee the institution of reforms in the rebelling provinces. Before the Memorandum could be approved by the Porte, the Ottoman Empire was convulsed by internal strife, which led to the deposition of Sultan Abd-ul-Aziz.
