Summary of Captivating History's History of Eastern Europe by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #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.

Eastern Europe! by Tomek E. Jankowski Pdf

Eastern Europe! is a brief and concise (but informative) introduction to Eastern Europe and its myriad customs and history. When the legendary Romulus killed his brother Remus and founded the city of Rome in 753 BCE, Plovdiv -- today the second-largest city in Bulgaria -- was already thousands of years old. Indeed, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid, Brussels, Amsterdam are all are mere infants compared to Plovdiv. This is just one of the paradoxes that haunts and defines the New Europe, that part of Europe that was freed from Soviet bondage in 1989 which is at once both much older than the modern Atlantic-facing power centers of Western Europe while also being in some ways much younger than them. Even those knowledgeable about Western Europe often see Eastern Europe as terra incognita, with a sign on the border declaring "Here be monsters." This book is a gateway to understanding both what unites and separates Eastern Europeans from their Western brethren, and how this vital region has been shaped by, but has also left its mark on, Western Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. Ideal for students, businesspeople, and those who simply want to know more about where Grandma or Grandpa came from, Eastern Europe! is a user-friendly guide to a region that is all too often mischaracterized as remote, insular, and superstitious. Illustrations throughout include: 40 photos, 40 maps and 40 figures (tables, charts, etc.) From the Trade Paperback edition.

Summary of Captivating History's The Russian Empire by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Empress Elena Glinskaya, along with court advisors, was tasked with raising and nurturing Ivan the Terrible, the young emperor. However, when Elena died in 1538, Ivan was left alone with his court officials. He felt more like a prisoner than a prince. #2 The fire of 1547, which destroyed much of Moscow, was a turning point in Ivan’s life. He was forced to flee the city, and the people turned against him. But he was saved by the old holy man Sylvester, who reminded the crowd of Christianity’s most important virtue: forgiveness. #3 The Battle of Kazan was a crushing victory for the Russians over the Tartars, and it paved the way for the Russians to expand their territory to the west. The Livonian War would follow shortly after. #4 The Livonian Knights were a crusading group that were sent to Eastern Europe to root out paganism. In 1236, the Livonian Knights essentially combined with the Teutonic Knights, but they were still considered a separate organization. The state of Livonia was founded by these knights after they conquered the pagan territories of what today constitutes Latvia and Estonia.

The Hidden Europe by Francis Tapon Pdf

For many Westerners, Eastern Europe is about as appealing as a deodorant-free French armpit. That didn't scare Francis Tapon because not only did he learn how to rough it by walking across America four times, but he is also half French, so he kind of smells too. Francis spent nearly 3 years travelling and backpacking in 25 Eastern European countries. It started with a 5-month trip in 2004. He returned in 2008 to spend 3 years exploring all the countries again. The Hidden Europe is Book Two of the WanderLearn Series.

In the Name of the Great Work by Doubravka Olšáková Pdf

Beginning in 1948, the Soviet Union launched a series of wildly ambitious projects to implement Joseph Stalin’s vision of a total “transformation of nature.” Intended to increase agricultural yields dramatically, this utopian impulse quickly spread to the newly communist states of Eastern Europe, captivating political elites and war-fatigued publics alike. By the time of Stalin’s death, however, these attempts at “transformation”—which relied upon ideologically corrupted and pseudoscientific theories—had proven a spectacular failure. This richly detailed volume follows the history of such projects in three communist states—Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia—and explores their varied, but largely disastrous, consequences.

Rival Power by Dimitar Bechev Pdf

A nuanced and comprehensive study of the political dynamics between Russia and key countries in Southeast Europe Is Russia threatening to disrupt more than two decades' of E.U. and U.S. efforts to promote stability in post-communist Southeast Europe? Politicians and commentators in the West say, "yes." With rising global anxiety over Russia's political policies and objectives, Dimitar Bechev provides the only in-depth look at this volatile region. Deftly unpacking the nature and extent of Russian influence in the Balkans, Greece, and Turkey, Bechev argues that both sides are driven by pragmatism and opportunism rather than historical loyalties. Russia is seeking to assert its role in Europe's security architecture, establish alternative routes for its gas exports--including the contested Southern Gas Corridor--and score points against the West. Yet, leaders in these areas are allowing Russia to reinsert itself to serve their own goals. This urgently needed guide analyzes the responses of regional NATO members, particularly regarding the annexation of Crimea and the Putin-Erdogan rift over Syria.
