In this video we go over why that's the case. We cover the history of the Balkans, Western Europe, the Ottoman Empire, and subsequent Cold War & the effects after the fall of the Berlin wall on the Balkan peninsula. 🔴Follow my Instagram:   / livingironicallyineurope   🔴Join the Ironic Discord:   / discord   🎶Outro Song🎶:    • ca$$a loco - living in the usa   🎶Explained Intro Song🎶:    • Dögös Robi...Bomba!   #balkans #romania #communism
