It provides a detailed account of the post-war history of six countries—Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia—from 1815, the Congress of Vienna, to 1968. The author, who has written this book with the theme of the people of this region's struggle against the invasions, annexations, and humiliations by neighboring powers such as Germany, Italy, Austria, and Russia, also explores the relationship history between these "intermediate countries" and their neighboring powers. This includes behind-the-scenes dynamics between the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The main content of the book includes: the development of national rebirth movements in Eastern European countries; breaking free from foreign rule and great power control to establish national states; the outbreak of World War II and the responses of each country; the victory of the anti-Fascist struggle and the establishment of socialist states; the influence of the Soviet Union on Eastern European countries. While narrating historical events, the author also provides concise introductions to important historical figures. The historical materials provided in this book offer valuable reference for understanding and researching the history and current state of East Europe, as well as the relationship between the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
