Southeast Europe
Southeast Europe or Southeastern Europe is a relatively recent political designation mostly for the countries of the Balkans.[1][2]
From the 1990s onwards, in part due to the negative historical and political connotations of the term Balkans,[3] especially since the wars and massacres of the 1990s in Yugoslavia in the western half of the region, the term Southeast Europe is becoming increasingly popular.[4][5]
