Why was the idea of national self-determination practically difficult in the Balkan crisis?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because populations were mixed and clear national borders were difficult to draw
National self-determination means that a people should decide its political status and government. In the Balkans, different ethnic, linguistic, and religious communities often lived together in the same regions. Drawing one border for each nation was therefore extremely difficult, and one group’s claim could exclude another. Option A correctly explains this practical problem; B, C, and D contradict the historical situation.
