Synopsis

The Question of Northern Epirus at the Peace Conference (1919) is a historical book written by Nicholas J. Cassavetes. The book provides a detailed account of the Northern Epirus question, which arose during the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. The Northern Epirus region, located in the southern part of Albania, was home to a significant Greek minority population. The book describes the efforts made by the Greek government to secure the inclusion of Northern Epirus within Greece's borders, while Albania fought to maintain its territorial integrity. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the political and diplomatic maneuvers that took place during the conference, and how the question of Northern Epirus was ultimately resolved. The book is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the history of the Balkans and the aftermath of World War I.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Though the question of Northern Epirus is not preeminent among the numerous questions which have arisen since the political waters of Europe were set into violent motion by the War, its importance can be measured neither by the numbers of the people involved, norby the seriousness of the dangers that may arise from the disagreement of the two or three nations concerned in the dispute. Northern Epirus is the smallest of the disputed territories in Europe, and its population is not more than 300,000. The question of Poland involves a population of many millions and the imperial aggrandisement of Germany. The question of A lsace-L orraine involves the pride of the French nation, the richest iron mines in the world, and the everlasting menacing of France by Germany. The Epirotic question does not press itself upon the attention of the English speaking peoples because of such weighty considerations. The struggle is not between two nations trying to conquer each other. It is simply on the one hand the unwillingness of the Northern Epirotes to accept the Albanian rule, and on the other the anxiety of the Albanian chiefs to have the Northern Epirotes included in the Albania of tomorrow. Possibilities of international difficulties are not expected to ensue from the disagreement of the Epirotes with the A lbanians. If worse comes to worst, there may be a repetition of the comico-tragedy of 1914, during which the Northern Epirotes rose in revolt against the Albanian rule, and hastened the downfall of a State which had been hastily created, and unwisely allowed to govern itself without even elementary knowledge of self-government.
