Hundred Years of Balkans History: The Cases of Montenegro and Bosnia (1850-1950) - Detailseite

In the years between 1850 and 1950, the citizenship of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro changed almost every two decades. Initially or temporarily integrated into large empires (Ottoman Empire, Austria-Hungary), they eventually became part of communist Yugoslavia. In between were two world wars, foreign occupations, periods of (actual or limited) state independence and two decades of a South Slav Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

The course will use the examples of Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina to show the transformations and upheavals, but also the social continuities and legacies that shaped the lives of the people in these countries between 1850-1950. Ultimately, the aim is to create an awareness of the complexity and multi-layered nature of the recent history of the Balkan region.

(The course also serves - optionally - as a preparation for a study excursion to Montenegro and Bosnia, which is planned for June 2024).
