According to Huntington's On the clash of civilizations Eastern Europe can also be divided into the following civilization circles:
cover Habsburg Dynasty Ruled Hungary Czech Republic Slovakia Slovenia Croatia , and by German Empire and Austria Having governed part of the territory poland belong to Western Civilization The subordinate Catholic civilization circle is influenced by German culture to varying degrees (especially Poland and the Czech Republic, which were colonized by a large number of German landowners). Most people believe in Roman Catholicism (except the Czech Republic, which is now one of the countries with the highest proportion of non religious believers) and was established earlier representative system Democracies (for example, Poland issued the first European book as early as 1791 Written constitution —— May 3 Constitution ), on Eastern European upheaval Post democracy The transformation is relatively peaceful. Most of these countries World War I Has been carried out before industrial revolution Although the economy lags behind Western Europe But it still leads most countries in the world (Czech Republic World War II It also has an advanced military industry enterprise that can compete with Krupp) [1] Science, technology and culture are also relatively developed, such as Fredeic Chopin Marie Curie Lana Wachowski Lily Wodrowski Roman Polanski As a world-famous cultural and technological celebrity of Polish origin, John von Neumann Theodore von Karmen Petogfi Sandor Marc Oler Stein They are all scientific and cultural celebrities of Hungarian origin, Anton Leopold Dvorak Milan Kundera Are Czech cultural celebrities.
cover turkey Secular Balkan Peninsula Most countries (except Slovenia and Croatia) belong to the Eastern Orthodox Church cultural ring , the civilization of these countries comes from Byzantine culture Most people believe in The Orthodox Church According to Huntington's theory, the Orthodox countries in the Balkans do not Western Europe General national experience The Renaissance , religious reform enlightenment campaign And so on, humanistic spirit Weak, failed to establish Individualism and Liberalism Tradition. After independence from Turkey, most of these countries implemented Absolute monarchy , and after World War II, the Communist centralized government was established( Greece Except), compared with Poland Czechoslovakia And other Central European countries are also much more difficult. Another significant difference between these countries and Central European countries is that there are many ethnic groups in China, National contradiction Complex, Yugoslavia and Albania After the end of the Cold War, violent unrest broke out. Because twice industrial revolution They didn't catch up. They didn't start to industrialize until after World War II. The Balkan economies were generally backward (except for Greece, which had been helped by Western European countries for decades during the Cold War), not only behind Western and Central European countries, but also with Taiwan Thailand Malaysia etc. Asia Advanced countries (regions) are also poor countries. Balkans Human trafficking is particularly rampant.
Russia Ukraine Belarus The three countries are all Eastern European countries, with ethnic origin and Languages They are very similar and belong to Orthodox countries. However, the three countries have a deeper autocratic tradition than the Balkan countries, and the democratic transition is more difficult, so they were earlier View of civilization history The commentator Toynbee regards it as an independent Russian civilization circle. Ukraine and Belarus are also economically backward countries, although Ukraine can still maintain world-class military industry. Russia is still able to maintain because of its massive export of oil, natural gas and arms high-income Horizontal.
Albania Bosnia and Herzegovina and Northern Macedonia It belongs to a mixed area of Muslims and Orthodox Christians. After decades of iron fist suppression of religion by Khocha, most people in Albania are now without religious belief
