Anyone who has read Robert Kaplan's classic Balkan Ghosts, will recognize his love of Black Lamb, Gray Falcon by Rebecca West. Dame West was of British nobility. In the 1930's, when Royal Yugoslavia (understandably) gerrymandered the provincial boundaries against the traditional ethnic distribution of the Western Balkans, she traveled around to see why this region caused so much bloodshed. Bal means blood, and kan means honey. She started by train in Salzburg, Austria.

I tried to show the redrawn provinces in gray, the boundaries of Royalist Yugoslavia in pink and used a National Geographic basemap to show the modern boundaries of the countries today. I will be adding to this soon. Thanks to Harvard WorldMap for the travel data, and Miloš Agathon for the datasets, shapefiles, and data.
