The Balkan Peninsula (Political Map) Europe Unit 2

The Balkan Peninsula is a large piece of land in southeastern Europe. It is divided into many countries, including Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, and the European part of Turkey. Sometimes the region is called the Balkans. The history of the Balkans includes many invasions and wars.

In this post we are going to see the countries that belonged to the old Yugoslavia. 

You can draw this countries to understand them better.
