5 0

Answer:

The Balkans were called the "Powder Keg" of Europe, not the "Power Keg" of Europe.

Explanation:

The Balkans are a highly multicultural region with a long history of conquest. The major empires of European History have occupied the zone and left a mark there.

The Balkans present a diversity of religions: Islam, Catholicism, Orthodox Christians, and others. Ethnic and Linguistic cleavages are also evident.

Historically speaking, the main problem with the Balkans is that the continued occupation by foreign powers and empires has fostered artificial political borders that fuel ethnic resentment. Geographically the Balkans are a crucial area between Europe and Asia and have been the object of continued international tension. In the 19th century, Russia tried to align itself with the Slavic ethnic groups of the region and helped them in independence attempts against the Ottoman Empire and the Austro Hungarian Empire. All the accumulated tension, resentment and budding nationalism create a region that is like a keg of powder, ready to explode with any minimal spark.

What is being communicated to Britain in the Declaration of Independence? Why do our colonial representatives explain this is ne
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Britain is being informed of the need for the Americans to form a new government. The colonial representatives explained that the reason for this was the inferior and unequal treatment they received under the British rule.

Explanation:

In the first few lines of the Declaration of Independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson with the assistance of four others, the British are given reasons why the Americans desire to form a new government. He further mentioned that this was necessary because of the unequal treatment they received under the British rule as well as the deprivations of their rights.

Jefferson explained that it was 'decent respect to the opinions of mankind', that warranted that a document listing their grievances are issued to the British government. He also went on to list about 27 ways in which they have been treated unfairly under the British rule.
