EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the Montenegrin bombardment during the First Balkan War in 1912-13. The devastating attack on Turkish Ottoman positions at Sutari resulted in extensive damage and destruction, as seen in this image with its ruined houses and scattered rubble. The combined forces of the Balkan League, comprised of Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, and Montenegro, had a significant numerical and strategic advantage over the Ottoman armies. The rapid success of the Balkan League in overcoming the Ottoman forces led to the capture and partitioning of almost all remaining European territories of the Ottoman Empire. The Montenegrin artillery, depicted in the photograph, played a crucial role in the bombardment that weakened the Ottoman defenses. The devastation wrought on Sutari serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive consequences of war and the profound impact it has on communities and their homes.
