THE FORGOTTEN LOSSES. SERBIAN CASUALTIES FROM THE BALKAN WARS 1912–1913

Summary/Abstract: After the Great War ended, the 1912–1913 dead became part of the broader remembrance project, known in interwar Yugoslavia as “the Wars for Liberation and Unification 1912–1918”. Thus, only a minor attention was given to the Balkan Wars. Furthermore, the fallen from the Balkan Wars were interpreted in retrospect, as part of the accomplished Yugoslav project and not as part of the Serbia’s enlargement. Thus, the proper context of the wars fought against the Ottoman Empire and Bulgarian Kingdom was neglected. So far, Serbian historiography emphasized the popularity of the First Balkan War and its military operational side, but social and cultural impacts were disregarded. The study shows the losses suffered by Serbs during the Balkan Wars (1912–1913, 1913).
