Summary of Captivating History's History of Eastern Europe

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.
