THE COLONIAL FRAMEWORK OF THE CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY OF GREAT BRITAIN IN EGYPT AND AUSTRIA-HUNGARY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Abstract

This paper aims to show similarities and differences in educational and cultural policies in Egypt and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Two former Ottoman provinces found themselves under foreign rule in the era of new imperialism. This paper tries to explore common phenomena in two areas: culture and education between the years of 1910 and 1914. Egypt was unquestionably colony of the Great Britain. By highlighting the similarities and differences we attempt to indicate the essence of the Austro-Hungarian presence in the Balkans. After careful examination of the crucial phenomena and common mechanisms this paper tries to show the colonial nature of occupation of Bosnian and Herzegovina.
