Default WHat is "Eastern Europe"?

WHat is "Eastern Europe"?
Slovenia or Czech R. are west as Austria or Sweden are.
Finland is farther east or east as Croatia, Poland, SLovakia, Bosnia, Serbia & MN, Albania....

Greece is even more to the east, same as Lithuania, Letonia, Estonia,Romania, Belarus......

West Europe is splited on NOrthern Europe, Southern Europe.....but fro so many people East Europe is all that is not UK, France, Italy, Germany, SPain.....
From Georgia to SLovenia........From Estonia to Serbia.......

Eastern Europe as a region has several alternative definitions, whereby it can denote:

European countries of the former "Eastern Bloc", or
the region lying between the variously and vaguely defined areas of Central Europe and Russia. This new Eastern Europe has become more commonly used to identify the region since the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, or
a homogeneous group of countries which stretches from the Ural mountains or the eastern border of European Russia to:

- the current eastern boundary of the European Union.

However, many former "Eastern Bloc" are Southeastern Europe/Balkans/ex -Yugoslavia; Central Europe and Northern Europe.

Real East Europe:
Azerbaijan-euroasia
Belarus
Georgia-euroasia
Moldova
Poland
Romania
Russia
Slovakia
Ukraine



Southeastern Europe/Balkan Peninsula
Commonly this definition is expanded to include these other previously communist countries. Yugoslavia and Albania were communist states, yet refused to be controlled by the Kremlin and never a members of Warsaw pact.

Albania
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bulgaria
Cyprus
F.Y.R. Macedonia
Serbia and Montenegro
Croatia
Greece
Turkey-euroasia

North East or Baltic Republics and states:
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania

Central Europe:
Austria
the Czech Republic - part of former Czechoslovakia
Hungary
Poland
Slovakia - part of former Czechoslovakia
Slovenia - formerly within Yugoslavia
