The map below shows us the migratory patterns of the Indo-Europeans, and with their migrations, the spread of the their language as well. As the Indo-Europeans started to migrate from their homeland in the lowlands between the Black and Caspian seas, they were spreading their culture with them. This led to their language seemingly distant regions that do not seem connected. As they were moving in different areas, Europe, India, Iran, Central Asia, their language started to change, so lot of new dialects emerged, and later those dialects gave birth to new languages, though all of those languages kept their basis and remained part of the same linguistic family.

Explanation:
I am not 100% but by the standard test rules, if an answer says "always" or "never" then it is typically false.
In the Balkans, Serbia had won autonomy in 1817, and southern Greece won independence in the 1830s. But many Serbs and Greeks still lived in the Balkans under Ottoman rule. The Ottoman empire was home to other national groups, such as Bulgarians and Romanians. During the 1800s, various subject peoples staged revolts against the Ottomans, hoping to set up their own independent states.
Such nationalist stirrings became mixed up with the ambitions of the great European powers. In the mid-1800s, Europeans came to see the Ottoman empire as "the sick man of Europe." Eagerly, they scrambled to divide up Ottoman lands. Russia pushed south toward the Black Sea and Istanbul, which Russians still called Constantinople. Austria-Hungary took control of the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This action angered the Serbs, who also had hoped to expand into that area. Meanwhile, Britain and France set their sights on other Ottoman lands in the Middle East and North Africa.
