Try yourself:In the question given below, there are two statements. One is marked as Assertion (A) and other as Reason (R). Read the statements and choose the correct option:
Assertion (A) : A large part of the Balkans was under the control of the Ottoman Empire.
Reason (R) : The spread of the ideas of Romantic Nationalism in the Balkans together with the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire made this region very explosive.
