Why was the Balkan Peninsula called the Powder Keg of Europe?

Calling the "Balkan Peninsula" the Powder Keg of Europe is a new term for the area starting in the early 20th century with the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the start of WWI. However, looking back in history is where you will see the term "powder keg" is well deserved as the "Slavic" nation of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenians were at war as far back as the 7th century ACE. Please sift through the links I have attached to awaken you to the mass destruction of the Balkans.
