4.9/5 (21684 ratings)

Description:Adriatic recounts the shared history of the countries around the sea, from Italy to Croatia and beyond, from the Romans to the present. This book spans over two thousand years of history and the whole of the eastern Mediterranean region around the Adriatic sea and part of the neighboring Ionian sea. Ever since the Romans, these lands and their peoples have experienced the coming and going of great empires, including occupation by the British in recent centuries, and the demise of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after the First World War, which had its origins in this combustible region. The book untangles a rich and complex history into the twentieth century, before the former Yugosalvia once again fractured. The fascinating and highly accessible account emphasizes the interplay between different parts of the Adriatic: on the plus side, the alliances that countries formed, often through trade or royal marriage, and the negative side, the rivalries that divided states and ended in war, invasion or the overthrow of government. The narrative is filled with personal stories of individuals from many different periods that illuminate the real issues of their day, and explores the major political, cultural and economic developments, together with the major conflicts from earliest Roman times, through the Crusades, right up to the battles of the Second World War.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
