The Balkan Wars (1912-1913) involved multiple Balkan countries and were fueled by the decline of the Ottoman Empire, ethnic nationalism, and the failure of great powers to enforce necessary reforms. Major battles resulted in significant casualties, with over 200,000 total military deaths and substantial civilian losses. The Treaty of London ultimately redefined territorial control in the region.
