WHAT DOES CENTRAL EUROPE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Central Europe

Central Europe

Central Europe or alternatively Middle Europe is a region of the European continent lying between the variously defined areas of Eastern and Western Europe. The term and widespread interest in the region itself came back into fashion[1] by the end of the Cold War, which had divided Europe politically into East and West, splitting Central Europe in half.[2][3] The concept of Central Europe, and that of a common cultural identity, is somewhat elusive.[4][5][6] However, scholars assert that a distinct "Central European culture, as controversial and debated the notion may be, exists".[7][8] It is based on "similarities emanating from historical, social and cultural characteristics",[7][9] and it is identified as having been "one of the world's richest sources of creative talent" between the 17th and 20th centuries.[10] Cross Currents: A Yearbook of Central European Culture characterizes Central Europe "as an abandoned West or a place where East and West collide".[11] Germany's Constant Committee for Geographical Names defines Central Europe both as a distinct cultural area and a political region.
