native populations. The explanation of this last to he sought in
the history of those lands. ]
A. CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUTHEASTERN EUROPEAN LANDS DUE TO
1. Lack of amalgamation of races before the Turkish invasion
West. East.
Correspondence
of races.
Iberian \ / Albanian
Kelt / \ Greek
Roman
Teuton Slav,
due perhaps to
a. Superior Greek culture and ethnic consciousness, and
its re-action upon barbarous invaders.
b. Permanence of Greek political power at Constantinople.
c. Absence of political genius in the Slav to organize na-
tional states(? )
2. Later invasion of the Turk and his character.
B. RESULT.
All distinctions of race and creed more persistent ; aggregates
of peoples rather than nations; national type hardly formed;
enmity of neighboring states. (Austro-Hungary intermedi-
ate in character, as well as geographically, between Western
and Eastern Europe. ) .
The explanation to be sought in
C. THE HISTORY OF THE BALKAN PENINSULA.
I. To the Turkish occupation.
1. Under the Greek empire: culture and wealth.
2. Enemies before whom the Greek empire fell.
a. Slavic invasions from the sixth century : Slavic states,
Servia and Bulgaria ; varying extent and varying rela-
tions to each other and to Constantinople. Constan-
tinople from this time the barrier against Asiatic con-
quest of these lands.
b. Persians.
c. Saracens: siege of Constantinople, 717.
The Greek Empire saved by
1) The Isaurian emperors.
2) The break-up of the Saracen empire.
d. Turks (Seljukian), 1071-1100, in Asia Minor. Sultan
of Roum at Nicea. (lurks : Saracens : : Teuton :
Roman : : Slav : Greek. )
Repulsed and broken by the crusades.
e. The fourth crusade. Wars of "Latins" and "Romans,"
1104-64; general disintegration of the Christian states
paving the way for
f. Ottoman Turks.
