Answer 2

Many 'ethnic groups', such as the "Croats and Slovenes", lived under 'Austro-Hungarian control'. During the late '1800s' and early '1900s', nationalist feelings among these 'people' grew, forming one of the causes leading to 'World War I'.

EXPLANATION:

National consciousness was related to national enthusiasm and threat on one hand and on the other hand, strengthening of the ethnic groups. The ethnic groups also believed that a bright future of Slovenians was possible if they all spread nationalism.

They wanted a separate state ruled by monarchy. Nationalist ideas grew so 'strong' that a separate Yugoslav state was supported outside Austria as well.
