Detailed Solution

The statement mentioned above is true.
An intense rivalry prevailed between the European powers over trade, colonies, and naval and military during the 19th century. The collapse of the Ottoman empire initiated nationalism in the Balkan states. The inhabitants of the regions that the Balkans consisted of were known as Slavs. However, the situation became precarious when the feeling of nationalism started spreading. Slavic nationalities got into severe clashes to expand their territories and impose their superiority on each other, which made the Balkan area an area of conflict. In addition, during this period, an intense rivalry was going on between the European powers over trade, colonies, and naval and military. These conflicts and rivalry made the Balkans the First World War battlefield.
