The Powder Keg of Europe

The southeaster area of Europe, the Balkans, was called "The Powder Keg of Europe" because of the nationalistic spirit that was causing revolts and rebellion in that area prior to World War I. It was where "the Great War," World War I, began with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.

Because of the high tensions in this area, the Balkansbecame known as the "Powder Keg of Europe." All that was needed to ignite the world into war was a spark. In 1914, Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were visiting Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
