At the time the \u201cplague front\u201d of quarantine stations and sanitary cordons at the Austrian Military Border would span from the Adriatic far into the continental bulk of Eastern Europe in order to repel the plague \u2013 in its actual and metaphorical manifestations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">In 1831, however, the trust in quarantines and sanitary cordons got abruptly lost: during a devastating cholera pandemic epidemic, arriving both from Russia and the Balkans, they simply failed to prevent the death of several thousands of people. Apart from this tragic event, the traditional Austrian system of epidemic defense was to be likewise put under question by the then rapid development of industrial capitalism and global trade as well as by the simultaneous introduction of steam navigation which enabled radically shortened shipment times of imported goods from the Orient: quarantines were considered an obstacle and therefore had to be removed. And indeed, the 1856-Peace Treaty of Paris, which ended the Crimean War, would liberate the Danube river down to its mouth into the Black Sea from permanent quarantines. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">When the Treaty of Berlin of 1878, which established independent and autonomous Ottoman successor states in the Balkans, was put to force, the \u201cpermanent\u201d sanitary cordon at the Austrian Military Border was not existing any more. The successor states would be anyhow quick to establish their own sanitary cordons against the receding Ottoman Empire and against any diseases \u2013 actual and metaphorical ones \u2013 which would come from this polity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at\/\">https:\/\/suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Promitzer.jpg?fit=800%2C450&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52692,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52692","url_meta":{"origin":11763,"position":0},"title":"Florian Bieber \u201eHvar in the Modern Age: Identity and Change in Southeast Europe\u201c","author":"Filip \u0160imunjak","date":"28. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"Description\u00a0 In this open-access book, Florian Bieber traces the history of the Adriatic island of Hvar over half a millennium, from the advent of Venetian rule in the 15th century to the end of Yugoslavia in the late 20th century.
