Abstract Chapter 1 provides a chronological introduction to the Balkan Wars by presenting the major battlefields, the accompanying political developments inside Ottoman society and the shaping of the Ottoman home front. It mostly relies on Ottoman sources and secondary literature to present and discuss the main events of the war as they were reported to Ottoman audiences through the publishing of formal proclamations and the censored press. Basing the discussion on Ottoman archives, contemporary press and memoirs literature, published in Ottoman Turkish, Arabic and Judeo-Spanish, this chapter follows the tremendous shift from a jubilant and self-confident society, celebrating the outbreak of the war and mobilization with much enthusiasm, into a defeated one.
