Episode 6: Herzegovina’s Minorities under the Habsburgs 

In this episode, Cathie Carmichael, Professor of European History at the University of East Anglia, talks to us about the military occupation of Bosnia-Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary and its impact on the various minority groups that comprised its multiethnic population from 1878 to 1918. This was especially notable in the territory’s more remote southern region of Herzegovina where the Habsburg military’s ‘civilizing’ efforts faced a plethora of social challenges and rising political tensions.
