Title: Implications of the Balkan Wars for the Yugoslav Idea among Slovenians in Trieste
Abstract: The article analyses the Yugoslav idea among Slovenian liberals from Trieste in the period before the First World War. Initially, they favoured the idea of a third politico-administrative unit that would incorporate Trieste within the Habsburg Monarchy. In this setting, they built a partnership with the Croatian political representatives. The first round of the Balkan wars caused euphoria among Slovenian liberals in Trieste and stimulated the development of a new political framework—namely, the federalization of the Habsburg Monarchy, and its integration with the Union of Balkan Slavs. However, the second round of the Balkan wars imposed a reduction of the Slovenian liberals’ initial plan; they excluded the Bulgarians from the Southern Slav political framework, thereby accepting the Serbian vision of the state.
