Nationalism was a powerful force in ww1. It weakened the Ottoman empire but strengthed Germany and France. However, it left land in the Balkins to be disputed over. Serbia wanted to take controll over all the Slavs on the Balkan Peninsula but Austria opposed Serbian rule. They feared it might lead to nationalistic feelings among their highly slavic population.
