Answer 2

Answer:

One of the main reasons for the tensions to emerge after 1871 in Balkans was because the people were aspired to nationalism. During the 19th century, major portion of Balkans was under the Ottoman Empire. They tried to adopt modern techniques to make changes in the internal backwardness of the state but they did not succeed.

• ETHNIC VARIATION : The Balkans was a region of geographical and ethnic variations comprising modern day Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Serbia and Montenegro. Their inhabitants were broadly classified as ' Slaves '.

• DISINTEGRATION OF OTTOMAN EMPIRE : A large part of Balkans was under the control of the Ottoman empire. The ideas of romantic nationalism in the Balkans together with disintegration of Ottoman Empire made this region very explosive.

• SUBJUGATION : Soon many foreign powers attempted to subjugate these newly independent states. The Balkan people tried to claim their independence by using history to prove that they were once independent but were eventually made colonies by other foreign powers. Hence, the rebellious nationalities struggled to win back their long-lost independence.

• JEALOUSY :There was a jealousy among the Balkan states and each hoped to expand their boundaries at the expense of others. During this period, the ideology of Europe was changed, the liberal feelings were narrowed down with limited ends. Intolerance followed among the groups and they were ready to fight a war.

POWER STRUGGLE : Russia, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Britain, the European powers were interested to expand their own imperialism. Trade, colonies, naval and military powers were some of the major factors which all the European powers were struggling for. They were all very keen on controlling the hold of the other powers and extending their own.

• All these led to a series of wars which finally led to the World War I.

World awar I ( 1914-1918 ) was fought between two groups :

Allies : Britain, Russia, Europe, later joined by U.S.A.

Central Powers : Germany, Ottoman Turkey, Austria-Hungary

In this war the Allies defeated the Central Powers and the war finally got over with the ' Treaty of Versailles '.
