Detailed Solution

Japan was not interested in the Balkan peninsula.
The Balkans was a geographically diverse region that included modern-day Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Serbia, and Montenegro. These inhabitants were known as Slavs. The Ottoman Empire ruled over a considerable portion of the Balkans. The Balkan states were intensely competitive with one another, hoping to obtain more territory at the expense of the others. During this time, the European powers competed for trade and colonies, as well as naval and military strength. Each country, Russia, Germany, England, and Austro-Hungary, was eager to undermine the hold of other powers on the Balkans and expand its influence over the region.
