Why was the question of borders so difficult in the Balkan conflict?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because ethnic communities were mixed across areas
The governing concept is the connection between nationalism, ethnicity and territorial claims. Different ethnic communities lived intermingled across Balkan regions, so a boundary based on one group’s population could include or exclude another group. Consequently, each community could claim the same territory, making settlement difficult. Option A is correct; B, C and D contradict the historical situation.
