Preferred term

Balkans  

Definition(s)

  • The term Balkan is a relatively recent designation for the peninsula that extends into the Mediterranean east of Italy and the nations that are in that geographic region. The Balkans are historically home to people of several ethnic groups, and these ethnic divisions have rarely been reflected in the national boundaries that have fluctuated over the last century.
