Detailed Solution

The Balkans were not under the control of the Ottoman Empire. It is different regarding the Balkan Problem. The Ottoman Empire ruled over a large part of the Balkans. The Balkan region became a hotbed of warfare as many Slavic ethnicities sought to define their identity and independence. The Balkan states were fiercely competitive with one another, each vying for more territory at the expense of the other.

Russia, Germany, England, and Austria-Hungary wanted to weaken the other powers' grip on the Balkans and increase their regional influence.
