More about Eastern European Tours & Holidays
The history for Eastern Europe is long. The Roman Republic/Roman empire - also the Greek/Hellenistic civilization got involved in the now Eastern European Region - culturally, linguistically as well as religiously - later Eastern Europe was invaded and occupied by the Mongols. Eastern Europe enjoyed a high standard of living in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries and had their golden age of around 1600. War after war went on - but the major change was that after the First World War the Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires were broken up and a surge of ethnic nationalism created a number of new states in Eastern Europe, partly caused by the Versailles Treaty of 1919 that made that possible.
Mostly they were unable to create stable military alliances and one by one were not able to withstand Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, which took them over between 1938 and 1945. The Second World War caused mass killing by Jews, with the Germans and the Russians crossing back and forward and during the end of the Second World War the Soviet Red Army and the Region was taken over by the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain became reality. Finland was free but forced to be neutral in the upcoming Cold War that lasted till 1989.
