The ancient Greek and Roman empires knew the importance of Eastern Europe for trade and settlement. Later, during the Migration Period, also known as the \"Barbarian Invasions,\" Eastern Europe became the stomping grounds for many people groups. The Visigoths, Huns, Slavs, and central Asian Turkic tribes like the Avars and Khazars all made their way into Eastern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith so many people moving in, the first states started to rise. Some of them would break apart as soon as they started, while others would form full-fledged empires. The medieval period would see some of the greatest empires of European history, like Kievan Rus, the Bulgarian Empire, Serbia, and the German Crusader states. By the early modern period, these great states would be replaced by Russia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottoman Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the coming centuries, the rise of Russia, Austria, and Prussia would spell doom for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottomans would keep pressing into Eastern Europe. The 19th century would lay the foundations for the outbreak of World War I, which would itself lead to World War II. In the aftermath, Eastern Europe became part of the Eastern Bloc, which was dominated by the USSR until the fall of communism nearly five decades later. This book extends past contemporary histories of Eastern Europe, which usually end at the fall of the Berlin Wall, to cover more recent events, including the conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo and the 2014 Crimean crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn this book, you will learn about: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Greek and Roman influence in Eastern Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Migration Period, aka the \"Barbarian Invasions\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mongol invasions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristian Europe vs. the Ottoman Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fall of Constantinople\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe rise of Russia and its famous rulers, like Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe path to World War I and World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jewish experience in Eastern Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo learn more about Eastern Europe than you ever thought possible, add The History of Eastern Europe to your cart today!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 362\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978428645677,"sku":"9781637165034","price":33.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/cTNwVmJmWjlTNURGRjdzS1pBblBRUT09.webp?v=1775805102","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/history-of-eastern-europe-a-captivating-guide-to-a-shortened-history-of-russia-ukraine-hungary-poland-the-czech-republic-bulgaria-slovakia-mol-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
