The Movement faced stark constraints, on the one hand from the collapsing Ottoman Empire, which was reluctant to recognize Albanian autonomy, and on the other from the Balkan League, which was eager to annex Albanian-inhabited territories. While both sides sought to instrumentalize the Albanians to serve broader strategic goals, this study re-evaluates the decision to maintain neutrality as a calculated response to an impossible dilemma. Particular attention is given to the decisions made at the London Conference of 1912–1913, which formally acknowledged Albanian statehood but simultaneously undermined its viability by excluding large segments of the Albanian population and severing key socio-economic ties. The article thus situates the Albanian case within broader patterns of nationalist contestation, imperial disintegration, and Great Power diplomacy, offering a reassessment of how Albanian aspirations were both recognized and constrained in the emerging Balkan order.","PeriodicalId":44713,"journal":{"name":"European History Quarterly","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145847519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While historians have broadly acknowledged that Spain's economic difficulties and Germany's refusal to supply its ally prevented General Franco from joining the Axis, there is a dearth of studies on Portugal's economic strategy towards its larger Iberian neighbour. Based upon dozens of confidential documents, the article presents new information on the state of hunger in Spain. It demonstrates that the Portuguese dictatorship was aware of both its magnitude and its political reverberations. Meanwhile, it contextualizes Portuguese aid to Spain through an exploration of broader social and economic conditions within Portugal. In light of the evidence presented, the article presents a strong critique of the rationale for, and subsequent effects of, the foreign policy of Portugal's dictator, António de Oliveira Salazar, towards Spain.","PeriodicalId":44713,"journal":{"name":"European History Quarterly","volume":"158 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145759699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Referred to at the time as the ‘German Gipsy Invasion’, this was a widely reported and highly debated journey of German Roma and Sinti across the UK. The exploration of the media coverage of this event provides a way to geographically and narratively track the activities and local interactions undertaken within a temporary and high-profile migration. It also enables the exploration of domestic, locale-specific discourses around migration, spectacle and the everyday. This paper seeks to explore how, and where, the event was documented in order to explore how it was remembered and later archived. It asks how a perceived spectacle, and the memory of that spectacle, is subsumed into the everydayness of place.","PeriodicalId":44713,"journal":{"name":"European History Quarterly","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145664488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
