An Introduction to the Balkans

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

Located in southeastern Europe is the Balkan Peninsula. It is home to multiple ethics groups, languages, and religions. 

It has one of the most dynamic and confusing histories of anywhere in Europe, with multiple migrations of people arriving over the centuries. 

Not surprisingly, it has also been the source of many conflicts, some of which are still ongoing today.

Learn more about the Balkans, its history, and what it consists of on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
