Question

can someone explain briefly the details of Balkan region in the class 10 chapter "The Rise of Nationalism In Europe"?

Answer 1

Hey dear.. I think this can be ur answer!!

- Balkan was a cluster of present day countries like Serbia, albaria, Romania, etc..

- It was ruled by Ottoman empire and inhabitants were called slavs.

- disintegration of Ottoman empire and spread of nationalist ideas in Europe made this area very explosive.

- revolutionaries of this region demanded for independence.

- after the balkan states got independence, they were jealous of each other and wanted to extend their territories.

- European powers - austro-hungary, Russia, Germany and Britain wanted to extend their influence an dominance on this region.

- This led to series of wars known as world war 1

Hope it helps you dear ☺️☺️☺️

And all the best for exams!!
