The most accurate statement regarding the impact of ethnic nationalism on the Balkan states after the Cold War is:

**A. A desire for ethnically pure nations led to civil war and genocide in the Balkans after the Cold War.**

After the disintegration of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, ethnic nationalism played a significant role in the various conflicts that erupted in the region, leading to brutal wars, widespread ethnic cleansing, and genocide, particularly noted during the Bosnian War and the conflicts in Croatia and Kosovo. This period was marked by the desire of different ethnic groups to assert their identity and territorial claims, often leading to violent confrontations and a breakdown of social order.
