The Third Balkan War (28 July 1914 - 26 December 1916) is the term often applied to the unique and separate conflicts of the 12th Russo-Turkish war and the Second Franco-German War, the name the Third Balkan War, specifically applies to the war between Austria, Serbia, and Russia, in the Balkans. Although many of the belligerents in any case were inter-allied with each other and at the same-time at peace with the enemies of their respective allies.
The conflict is considered by historians as the beginning of the modern era as it greatly contributed to the modernization of The Ottoman Empire (Empire of Turkey) the growth of Pan-Islamic nationalism, the fall of the Russian Empire, and the rise of Germany as the primary power in mainland Europe. It had it's roots in the conflicts of the 19th century and it's terminus and resolution would directly give rise to the later Great War of the 40's in which millions would perish as a result of the advances of military technology made in the 3rd Balkan War such as the landship, poison gas, and airship design.
In these following chapters I hope to outline the causes and progression of the war, and its eventual outcomes on world history as the first modern war.
