Mention the factors that led to the Independent of the balkan states?
Answers
Answer:
while the 18th century in the Balkans was dominated by the steady decline of Ottoman power, the outstanding feature of the 19th century was the creation of nation-states on what had been Ottoman territory. Because the emergence of national consciousness and the creation of nation-states were conditioned by local factors, each nation evolved in an individual way. Nevertheless, some general characteristics are discernible.

The first is that external factors were the ultimate determinants. No Balkan people, no matter how strong their sense of national purpose, could achieve independent statehood, or even a separate administrative identity, without external support. Foreign military intervention on behalf of particular groups was common: Russia aided the Serbs and Bulgarians, while Britain, France, and Russia intervened for the Greeks. The Romanians benefited from the wars of Italian and German unification, and Albanian independence would have been impossible had the Balkan states not smashed Ottoman power in Europe in the First Balkan War (1912–13).

External intervention came about after indigenous nationalist movements, supported by members of diasporic communities throughout Europe, had evolved and eventually fomented unrest or even rebellion. These movements were financed to a large extent by internal wealth, but—with the exception of the peripheral areas of the Greek, Romanian, and Dalmatian lands—such wealth could not be generated until the region had returned to a level of stability that allowed agriculture, trade, and manufacturing to flourish.
Thus, national reawakening was hindered in its early years by the lack of unified national alphabets or literary languages. Indeed, the Albanians had neither until the first decade of the 20th century.
