During World War I, the Balkans were a region of intense conflict and political instability, largely due to nationalist tensions and the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914, carried out by a Bosnian Serb nationalist, sparked the war, drawing in major powers and escalating regional rivalries. The region became a battleground, with key battles taking place and various ethnic groups seeking independence or territorial gains. The aftermath of the war further reshaped national borders and exacerbated ethnic tensions, leading to ongoing conflicts in the years that followed.
