    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The idea of Eastern Europe is a modern concept. It is difficult to point out an Eastern European country on a map, as the region has always been a neutral zone between the world’s greatest empires.

    #2 Eastern Europe is the region between Western Europe and Asia. It is defined by powerhouses like the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy. The eastern border of Germany and Italy draws an imaginary line between what is considered Western Europe and Eastern Europe.

    #3 Eastern Europe is the birthplace of many of the things we use today, from paper to the bicycle. It was a path of migration for people and ideas, which affected Eastern European development.

    #4 The Eurasian Steppe was used by nomadic horsemen traveling along the Eurasian landmass. With flatlands without many forests, the steppe was perfect for invading nomads, like the Scythians, Mongols, and Huns, to move into Europe.

      #1

      The idea of Eastern Europe is a modern concept. It is difficult to point out an Eastern European country on a map, as the region has always been a neutral zone between the world’s greatest empires.

      #2

      Eastern Europe is the region between Western Europe and Asia. It is defined by powerhouses like the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy. The eastern border of Germany and Italy draws an imaginary line between what is considered Western Europe and Eastern Europe.

      #3

      Eastern Europe is the birthplace of many of the things we use today, from paper to the bicycle. It was a path of migration for people and ideas, which affected Eastern European development.

      #4

      The Eurasian Steppe was used by nomadic horsemen traveling along the Eurasian landmass. With flatlands without many forests, the steppe was perfect for invading nomads, like the Scythians, Mongols, and Huns, to move into Europe.

      #5

      Eastern Europe has a diverse collection of ethnic groups, which made it difficult to centralize. The nations of Western Europe, while chaotic in their own right, had a much easier time securing self-rule and keeping it than Eastern Europeans.

      #6

      The experiences of Eastern European nations are a perfect example of how weak political organization has defined their history. Every nation experienced war, invasion, rebellion, and independence in the 20th century alone.

      #7

      The Kurgan hypothesis states that the spread of languages took place during the Neolithic Age, when the Kurgan people migrated west into Eastern Europe from Anatolia. Their languages changed with their new environment.

      #8

      Eastern Europe hosts a variety of languages, but it isn’t as easy as saying that Russian is spoken in Russia or that Czech is only spoken in the Czech Republic. The constant shifting political borders and growing and shrinking states have plagued Eastern Europe since its history began.

      #9

      Eastern Europe was the target of a mass Christianization effort, which was led by priests from both the Western Church and Eastern Orthodoxy. Conversion was a religious effort as well as a political one. The region was also the target of Protestant Reformation efforts in the 16th and 17th centuries.

      #10

      Trade made Eastern Europe a dynamic actor in the history of the Eurasian landmass. It was the method that allowed a wide variety of people groups to move in and out of Eastern Europe.

      #11

      Eastern Europe is made up of many small states
