$\huge{\boxed{\bold{ANSWER}}}$

⏩ The Balkans was a region of geographical and ethinic variation comprising modern day Romania, Bulgaria, Albania,Greece etc... whose inhabitants were broadly known as Slavs.

⏩ A large part of the Balkans was under the control of the Ottoman Empire.

⏩ The spread of the ideas of romantic nationalism in the Balkans together with the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire made this region very explosive.

⏩ All through the 19th century the Ottoman Empire sought to strengthen itself through modernisation and internal reforms but with very little success.

⏩ Its European subject nationalities broke away from its control and declared independence.

⏩ The Balkan peoples based their claims for independence and used history to prove that they had once been independent.

⏩ Hence, the rebellious nationalities in the Balkans thought of their struggle as attempts to win back their long-lost Independence.

⏩As the struggle to define their identity as independence, the Balkans area became an area of intense conflict.

⏩The Balkans also became the scene of big power rivalry
