During the 19th Century Austria-Hungary saw the Balkans as a way of strengthening its domination of south-eastern Europe; Russia saw its support for the Slavs as a means of diverting attention from problems at home while at the same time moving towards securing control of the straits; the Balkan nationalists, under the leadership of Serbia, were determined to achieve some form of independence and unity. This is one of the reasons in which World War one was ignited.
