Question

By the end of 19th century nationalism didnt retain its idealistic liberal democratic sentiment of the first half of the century, but became a narrow creed with limited ends. Explain by giving detailed account of Bulkan region which was the most serious source of Nationalist tension in Europe after 1871

Answer 1

Answer:

The Bulkan region is the area which was situated in the eastern and southeastern Europe. The Bulkans had a popular and violent history related to the Ottoman conquest and the mountainous geography. The region became a source of nationalist tension in Europe due to many reasons. The Ottomon Empire disintegrated with the romantic nationalism and made the area explosive. The Empire wanted to strengthen the empire but failed. As a result all the European nationalities declared themselves as independent.
