The year 2009 marks the anniversary of two important historical events:
it is 310 years since the Treaty of Carlowitz (1699) and 180 years since
the Peace of Adrianople (1829). Both agreements frame an important
transformative period in the history of Europe which includes the whole
Continent as a geographical area. For Central and Western Europe this is
the transition from the Ancien régime to a post-agrarian society, from
Absolutism to the modern nation state. For the South East, for the
Balkans, the 18th and the first third of the 19th centuries see the
“emancipation of mentality”, a new mobility within the Ottoman Empire
and a new concept of nationality. The period also witnesses the
foundation of new (that is, old pre-Ottoman) states in the Peninsula.
For its part the Ottoman ruling elite thinks seriously about reforming
the Empire, convinced that without such a “turn” the state will perish.


Between 1699 and 1829 Southeastern Europe was of great importance for
European diplomacy. In this region Habsburg armies fought against the
Sultan; it was here that the Eastern question emerged; and to some
extent the Austrian War of Succession had its roots here. Russia had a
traditional interest in the Balkans and the Black Sea region and waged
several wars against the Ottomans, waving the flag of religion and
ideology in the process. Russian political dominance in Europe after the
Congress of Vienna (1815) had its origins in their control of the lands
in the European South East. Moreover, it is well known that some of the
conflicts during the Napoleonic Era led directly through the Balkans.
Last but not least, in the “space between empires”, in the contact zones
and buffer lands between Habsburgs, Ottomans and Romanovs, the new
“Balkan elites” enriched their political experience by trying to use the
so-called “external factor” to achieve some kind of sovereignty. At a
later stage they adopted “European models” for reform of their society
and state.

During these decades the “small” national societies in Southeastern
Europe – amongst them the Bulgarians – are pushed forward by the “impact
of transformation”. The changes that follow have their European roots,
but also include a number of regionally specific features in the spheres
of the economy, culture and politics. This gives us an intriguing
opportunity to trace some contemporary parallels.

The term “Common European History”, controversial though it may be, is
without any doubt firmly linked to the past of the South East, not least
due to the fact that in this region the power and influence of the great
Continental Empires of Antiquity, the Middle Ages und the Modern Era
have always been present. The years between Carlowitz (1699) and
Adrianople (1829) emphasize this assumption. The tying of the South East
to modern European civilization becomes such a clear-cut tendency that
the emergence of the new states in the Peninsula during the 19th century
can only confirm the ongoing process of modernization.
