The Powder Keg of Europe   The southeaster area of Europe, the Balkans, was called The Powder Keg of Europe because of the nationalistic spirit that was causing revoltsâ¦ and rebellion in that area prior to World War I. It was where the Great War, World War I, began with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.
âI shall not live to see the world war. . . [but] it will start in the east.â. Otto von Bismarck, 1891, Chancellor of Germany (Massie 855). Between June 28 and July 28, 1914, Europe lit the fuse that ignited the powder keg of World War I. During this crucial month, diplomacy failed to prevent war. A minor crisis in the Balkans exploded into a world war.
