Southeast Europe: Geographic region
Southeast Europe or Southeastern Europe is a relatively recent political designation mostly for the countries of the Balkans.
From the 1990s onwards, in part due to the negative historical and political connotations of the term Balkans, 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.
