Wilson proceeded to deliver his 'War Message' which resulted in a vote to enter the first World War 4 days later. The year 2017 marks the 100-year anniversary of the United State's entry into the 'Great War.'

The Second Balkan War Breaks Out

The Great Powers struggle to contain the boiling pot of the Balkan Crisis

Featured Resource

Balkan Wars 1912-1913 by Richard C. Hall
Call Number: Electronic Book
ISBN: 0415229472
Publication Date: 2000-10-18
"In The Balkan Wars 1912-1913, Richard Hall examines the origins, the enactment and the resolution of the Balkan Wars, during which the Ottoman Empire fought a Balkan coalition of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro and Serbia.

The Balkan Wars of 1912 - 1913 opened an era of conflict in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century, which lasted until 1918, and which established a basis for problems which tormented Europe until the end of the century.

Based on archival as well as published diplomatic and military sources, this book provides the first comprehensive perspective on the diplomatic and military aspects of the Balkan Wars. It demonstrates that, because of the diplomatic problems raised and the military strategies and tactics pursued to resolve those problems, The Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 were the first phase of the greater and wider conflict of the First World War."
