    The Balkans is a territory in Europe comprised of many countries with many nationalities within them. In 1878 Serbia gained its independence after the Russo-Turkish war. In 1903, the pro-Austrian King Alexander of Serbia was murdered and was replaced by a new king determined to reduce Austrian-Hungarian influence. Austria-Hungary feared the influence of a strong country with a multi-ethnic empire. In order to combat this, Austria-Hungary started a tariff war and the Serbs went to France for support.…

    The Balkans had been a problem for Europe for at least a century before. The many ethnic groups in the Ottoman Empire wanted to break away and form their own nation. To prevent war the Great Powers met and formed two more countries, Montenegro and Serbia, and gave Austria the control of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serbia still wanted to form a new nation, Yugoslavia that would be comprised of Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia (Etty 42). Austria opposed this due the amount of Russian influence in Serbia. In 1908 Austria made a political maneuver that would prove costly by deciding it wanted to own Bosnia-Herzegovina to prevent an invasion from Serbia, so they annexed it, making it part of their own empire. The Serbs and Russia were furious. For a time it seemed Russia would declare war on Austria, however Germany backed Austria, its good friend and ally. Russia knew that the German army was too strong for Russia 's, so it did nothing. In 1912 the region became completely unstable when war broke out among the Balkan states as they quarreled over new boundaries gained from the final removal of the Ottoman Empire. The Great Powers were forced to intervene and settled the dispute. The Serbs were furious with the dispute because they did not get the land they wanted to form Yugoslavia. Tempers ran high in the Balkans and the only friendships that remained were the Alliances. Following the Ottomans withdraw completely from the Balkans, Pauli…

    The country that I choose is Iceland. Iceland is very unique and interesting not only because of its clean air and amazing scenery but also its natural beauty and landscapes. Nature is a big force of Iceland but the volcano’s, waterfalls, and glaciers seem to attract most tourist. There landforms are probably the most unique. The Northern Lights is also something that people find very interesting because how it is created and the view you can see. It is something that everyone should see at some point in their life. The sources that I choose to use to research the Physical Geography, Economics, History, Cultural, and Political features of Iceland were mainly books including; Ring of Season: Iceland , It’s Culture and History; Island Guide to Iceland; and Landmark Visitor Guide: Iceland. The main site that was used from the internet was the CIA World Factbook. The geographical features of Iceland in this paper range from physical/environmental, historical, culture/demographic, political, and economics that help create this country.…
