Identify 'X' and the years when the Balkan war took place.

• A. British, 1912-13
• B. British, 1913-14
• C. Portugese, 1912-13
• D. Portugese, 1913-14

Answer 1

The correct option is A British, 1912-13

The British supported the cause of the Balkan nations in the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913, which saw the Ottoman empire lose almost all of its territory. This endangering the Caliphate further. The Muslim people and their leaders realized that allying themselves with the British, who were acting against Muslim interests worldwide, was no longer a viable option. They wanted to join forces with the Indian National Congress and protest against British incursion.
