Detailed Solution

The Balkans was known as a powder keg in the early 20th century, before World War I. There were competing claims to territories and spheres of influence made by the Russian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the German Empire, and, to a lesser extent, the Ottoman Empire, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Italy. In addition to the region's imperialist goals and interests, the indigenous populations of the area experienced a rise in nationalism, which resulted in the creation of the independent states of Greece, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Romania, and Albania.
