商品簡介
This book describes the barbarian invasions of the Balkan Peninsula to pillage Constantinople. By converting to Christianity and settling in countries and kingdoms of different adverse ethnicities they used the questionable Balkan way of doing things, which defines "Balkanization." No land had so many endemic civil wars, fratricidal murders, unimaginable tortures, revenge, greed, corruption, intrigue and betrayed loyalty than in the Byzantine Empire, and the newly formed Balkan nations. Balkanization, was like a "powder keg" ready to explode, and it grew strong roots in Eastern Europe. After the Dark and Middle Ages while skipping the Renaissance, Industrial Revolution and the Capitalistic systems, until the fall of Communism and the freedom of the 21st century, the Balkan nations made efforts to uproot Balkanization from their way of life.
