Question

who were balkans
why were they a region of national terror

Answer 1

Answer:

The Balkans was a region of geographical and ethnic variation comprising of the modern day Bulgaria, Croatia, Albania, Greece, Macedonia, Romania,etc.

A large part of the region was under ottoman empire

Each power - Russia, Germany, England and Austro-Hungary wanted control over this area

With the spread of nationalism, the balkan people wanted freedom

So , this area became an area of conflict

This led to a series of wars in the region and finally the first world war (W.W I )

This is why the area of Balkans was a region of national terror
