Question

Why did the Nationalist tension emerges in the balkans​

Answer 1

$\huge\underline \mathfrak \pink{Answer}$

One of the main reasons for the tension to emerge in Balkans was because the people 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.

1. Ethnic Variation :

The Balkans was a region of geographical and ethnic variation comprising modern day Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Serbia and Montenegro. Their inhabitants were known as slaves.

2. Disintegration of the Ottoman Empire :

A large part of Balkans was under the control of Ottoman empire. The ideas of romantic nationalism in the Balkans together with disintegration of the Ottoman empire made this region very explosive.

3. Subjugation :

Many foreign powers attempted to subjugate these newly independent states. The Balkan people tried to claim independence by using history to prove that they had once been independent. Hence, the rebellious nationalities struggled to win back their long-lost independence.

Answer 2

Answer:

The rise of nationalism in Europe commenced with the Spring of Nations in 1848. During the early nineteenth century, nationalism emerged as a strong force that brought about sweeping changes in the political and mental world of Europe. The final result of these changes was the emergence of the nation-state, in place of the multi-national dynastic empires of Europe.
