The southeastern European region involved in World War I is commonly referred to as the Balkans. This area was a hotspot for nationalist tensions and conflicts, particularly due to the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of various national movements. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Bosnia, in 1914, which was part of the Balkans, famously triggered the war. The region's complex ethnic and political landscape played a significant role in the conflict.
