Answer 1

The Balkans in Europe after 1871

 The Balkans comprised modern-day Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Serbia and Montenegro.
 The disintegration of the ruling Ottoman Empire and the spread of the ideas of romantic nationalism made this area explosive.
 The European subject nationalities started breaking from its control to declare independence.
 The Balkan revolutionaries‟ acts were directed to gain back the long-lost independence.
 The Balkan States were fiercely jealous of each other and wanted to gain more territory at the expense of the other.
 There was intense rivalry among the European powers over trade, colonies, naval might and military might. European powers such as Russia, Germany, England and Austro-Hungary were keen on opposing the hold of other powers over the Balkans for extending their own area of control.
 All these events ultimately triggered the First World War (1914).
 Nationalism stained with imperialism led Europe to disaster.
 Many colonized countries in the world started to oppose imperial domination.
 The anti-imperialist movements developed as nationalist movements.  

Answer 2

The war set the stage for the Balkan crisis of 1914,and thus served a 'prelude' to the first world war . By the early 20th century Bulgaria , Greece,Montenegro and Serbia had achieved Independence from the Ottoman Empire,but large elements of their ethnic populations remained under Ottoman rule..
