- Abstract
Some historians claim that the First World War was the Third Balkan War. This article proposes that after the Congress of Berlin in 1878, a system of checks and balances was instituted in the Balkans to fi ll the power vacuum which Russia was unable to fulfi ll after the Russo-Turkish War of 1878 and discusses that the failure and the disintegration of this checks and balances system was one of the causes of the First World War.
