the Balken was one of the major factor responsible for the first world war explain by giving example
Answers
Balkan Region was one of the major factors for first world war because:-
1. The spread of Romantic Nationalism and the disintegration of Ottoman Empire made this region very explosive.
2. Throughout the nineteenth century, the Ottoman Empire introduced reformative measures but these did not work.
3. One by one, the Balkan nations started asserting their independence. They based their claims of Independence on nationality and used history to show that they had once been free but had consequently been subjugated by foreign powers.
4. The Balkan nations became increasingly intolerant of each other and they all wanted to get more territory at the expense of others.
5. Added to the above problems, the Balkans also became a region of big power rivalry.
6. Powers like Britain, Austria-Hungary, Russia, etc wanted to extend their naval and military might, trade and colonies.
7. The big powers wanted more power for themselves while countering the hold of other powers.
8. A series of wars in the region took place and finally led to the First World War.
