Answer to Question 1

At the end of World War One, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottomans ended their control of the Balkans, and Yugoslavia was created. Yugoslavia included several different ethnic groups (Slovenians Croatians, Serbs, Bosnians, etc.) whose members were Muslim, Eastern Orthodox Christians, or Roman Catholics. Yugoslavia was controlled by a Serbian king, and was marked by internal tensions. Tensions and conflict increased in the decades that followed. By 1990, the tension increased to the point of major conflict, and Yugoslavia broke up along ethnic lines into its component nation-sates in the succeeding years. The term balkanization derives from this experience and describes the geopolitical processes of small-scale independence movements based on ethnic fault lines.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.
