Why is it incomplete to see Balkan nationalism only as a freedom movement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it also included territorial expansion and mutual rivalry
The governing concept is the dual character of Balkan nationalism. It challenged imperial rule and supported the independence of several peoples, but nationalist leaders also sought to unite all members of their group and expand into neighbouring territories. Those overlapping claims created rivalry and conflict. Option A is correct; B, C and D falsely deny its political and territorial dimensions.
