Answer 2

Explanation:

The Balkan was a great ethnic region whose inhabitants are expansively known as the Slavs. Balkans were responsible of the spread of nationalism. Thereafter, the disintegration of Ottoman empire sparked outrage among people in this region. One of the great European countries parted ways with Balka. The Balkans were aggressively jealous of each other as each one were in cut throat competition in expanding their territory. This spat led to a series of wars and eventually the first world war.
