This article examines the position of the Albanian National Movement during the First Balkan War, adopting a comparative and geopolitical approach. 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.

This article analyses the Portuguese Estado Novo's knowledge of, and policy towards, the Spanish famine of 1939–1942. 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.
本文分析了葡萄牙新国家对1939-1942年西班牙饥荒的认识和应对政策。虽然历史学家普遍承认,西班牙的经济困难和德国拒绝向其盟友提供物资,阻止了佛朗哥将军加入轴心国,但对葡萄牙对其较大的伊比利亚邻国的经济战略的研究却很少。根据数十份机密文件,这篇文章提供了有关西班牙饥饿状况的新信息。这表明,葡萄牙独裁政权意识到其规模及其政治影响。同时,它通过对葡萄牙更广泛的社会和经济状况的探索,将葡萄牙对西班牙的援助置于背景下。根据所提供的证据,本文对葡萄牙独裁者António de Oliveira Salazar对西班牙的外交政策的基本原理及其后续影响提出了强烈的批评。
