Document Summary
Darker and more intimidating, strange, less efficient. Turkic dynasty: controlled much of eastern europe. Tasty foods but no one has ever heard of them: paprika hendl (fusion going on because the name is german) Place is not mapped; it is exotic, bizarre, superstitious. Trade made of amber (considered a big deal because it was mistaken as a gem but was only a sand stone) Previous to industrial revolution, east and west were at the same level. Then the east begins to lag technologically, academically, economically. It was backwards because of the enlightenment period. Primitiveness justifies it being destroyed and ignored by the west. Leaders of civilization and technology were germany and england. East is not a sellout to capitalism but agriculturalists and traditionalists. Ww1 and ww2 had a big effect. Groups were victims of genocide or expulsion so eastern europe could be ethnically pure after ww2. Ukrainian was once a language/nation of liberation. Magyrs are hungarians with origins in asia.
