| | Islamic History and Culture - The Details of the History of Islam - Islam's First Contact with the Balkan Nations |
| | The relations between the Balkan nations (especially the Albanians) and Arabs have existed for a very long time (even before the Christian Era), and the Arab world was of great importance for the emergence of the Albanian and Bosnian phenomenon (read the quick acceptance of Islam). | | | Insofar as the people of the Balkan Peninsula are concerned, the Ottomans were crucial in spreading Islam. | | | Looking at the relevant literature, we would conclude that the two ways that enabled the spread of Islam were: (1) the military expeditions sent to extend the borders of the state of Islam, and (2) the persuasive powers of the Islamic teachings themselves made people ultimately embrace it. |

| | Chapter 9 -- The Balkan Flux |
| | The other Balkan peoples, already obscurely stirring to nationalist ideas, refused to move, and the Turks were thus able to concentrate against the Greeks, who were massacred wholesale, and deprived of the privileged position 222 that they had heretofore enjoyed. | | | But the Rumanians, like the other Balkan peoples, were now awakening to national consciousness, and after many difficulties the people of the Danubian plains (excepting Bessarabia) succeeded in escaping Russian annexation, threw off their vassalage to Turkey, and established an independent Kingdom of Rumania. | | | The ruthlessness with which these persecutions were conducted scandalized the outside world and enormously envenomed Balkan hatreds. |

| | A very brief history of the Balkan peninsula |
| | The Balkan Peninsula has long been politically and economically important as a bridge between Europe and Asia. | | | When Austria-Hungary collapsed at the end of WWI, several of these countries united to form the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes - later renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia ("Land of the Southern Slavs"). | | | In the 19th century, the Balkan nations developed strong nationalist movements and won their independence from the Turks, but this led to the smaller nations having to deal with the control exerted by their larger neighbors - Austria, Hungary, Turkey, Italy and Bulgaria. |
