Otto von Bismarck once said that a great war might someday be caused by "some dammed foolish thing in the Balkans." Was he right?

One region that wasn’t given much consideration in Bismarck’s plan for a peaceful and stable Europe was the Balkans..no one thought about these small pieces of land would engage in conflict with themselves.Bismarck blamed the Balkans because that’s where European hostilities were reflected.
