Question

discuss on the following anti imperial movement the rivalry of major European powers in the Balkan region​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Balkan Wars consisted of two conflicts that took place in the Balkan Peninsula in 1912 and 1913. Four Balkan states defeated the Ottoman Empire in the First Balkan War. In the Second Balkan War, Bulgaria fought against all four original combatants of the first war along with facing a surprise attack from Romania from the north. The conflicts ended catastrophically for the Ottoman Empire, which lost the bulk of its territory in Europe. Austria-Hungary, although not a combatant, became relatively weaker as a much enlarged Serbia pushed for union of the South Slavic peoples.[2] The war set the stage for the Balkan crisis of 1914 and thus served as a "prelude to the First World War".[3]

Answer 2

1. The Balkan States are actually Albania, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria and Montenegro
2. These five states are ruled by Turkey for long years.
3. In 1912, when Turkey becomes weak, these five overpowered Turkey and becomes partially free from Turkey's control. It is First Balkan War
4. But, the spoils and losses of the war are imposed on Bulgaria by Serbia.

6. So, to seek revenge from Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey joins with Allied powers i.e Germany
7. This is the Balkan Problem which is one of the foremost causes of First World War
