Balkanisation of europe in the 20th-21st centuary

The idea of an independent state of Wallonia, catalunia and scotland would have seeen absurd to everyone 100 years ago. But now, in the midst of catastrophic global financal crisis and rising right wing nationalism, these states are becoming a reality.

Cameron and salmond recently signed a referendum in 2014 on scotland independence, potentially tearing the UK apart ( although admittadly most scots either oppose or arn't enthusiastic about indepence.)

Similer stories are occuring in catalunia and Belgium.

So this has got me wondering.......how could we get a balkinsation of europe with independent scotland, wallonia and other small states in the last 112 years?

i look forward to your ideas!
 
Indepent Abkhazia and Crimea. And Italy could be good. After WW2 in Italy had referendum about monarchy and in OTL Italy changed as republic. But if on referndum people decide preserve monarchy and then northern part, where is strong support for republic, separate as its own state, republic of Padania.
