Eastern Europe Presentation prepared by geography teacher of Municipal Educational Institution Secondary School No. 5 in Vsevolozhsk Pavlova Tatyana Aleksandrovna

• Eastern Europe as a historical and geographical region includes: Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, countries formed as a result of the collapse of the former Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia), Albania, Latvia, Lithuania , Estonia
• These states occupy a single territory, stretching in a fairly wide strip from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Mediterranean and Black Seas in the south and southeast for about 1,500 km. All countries except the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary have access to the sea.

Population

• The region's population is about 130 million people, but the demographic situation, which is difficult throughout Europe, is the most alarming in Eastern Europe. Despite the active demographic policy pursued over several decades, natural population growth is very small (less than 2%) and continues to decline. Bulgaria and Hungary are even experiencing natural population decline. The main reason for this is the disruption of the age-sex structure of the population as a result of the Second World War.
• In some countries, natural increase is higher than the regional average (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia), and it is the largest in Albania - 20%.
• The largest country in the region is Poland (about 40 million people), the smallest is Estonia (about 1.5 million people)

• The population of Eastern Europe has a complex ethnic composition, but one can note the predominance of Slavic peoples. Of the other peoples, the most numerous are Romanians, Albanians, Hungarians, and Lithuanians. Poland, Hungary, and Albania have the most homogeneous national composition. Lithuania.

• The Czech Republic leads in terms of urbanization level – 75%. There are quite a lot of urban agglomerations in the region, the largest of which are Upper Silesia (in Poland) and Budapest (in Hungary).

• The territories of these countries are densely populated. More than half of the population lives in cities. The largest of them are the capitals of states.
• Each city has its own characteristics, its own “face”. The Czechs, for example, call their capital Zlata Prague as a sign of love and admiration for its beauty. This is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Ancient palaces and towers, numerous ancient monuments, bridges over the Vltava River create the unique appearance of the city.

• Residents of the western part of the region profess Catholicism, while the eastern and southeastern ones profess Orthodoxy.

Natural resources

• The climate is temperate maritime, moderate continental, in the south it turns into subtropical Mediterranean.
• Natural zones are diverse, large areas are occupied by mixed and broad-leaved forests.

• Natural resource reserves include: coal (Poland, Czech Republic), oil and natural gas (Romania), iron ores (Romania, Slovakia), bauxite (Hungary).

• In general, it must be said that the region is experiencing a shortage of resources, and in addition, it is a striking example of the “incompleteness” of a set of minerals. Thus, Poland has large reserves of coal, copper ores, and sulfur, but almost no oil, gas, or iron ore. In Bulgaria, on the contrary, there is no coal, although there are significant reserves of copper ores and polymetals.

Energy

• Due to a shortage of oil reserves, this region is focused on coal, most of the electricity is generated by thermal power plants (more than 60%), but hydroelectric power plants and nuclear power plants also play an important role. One of the largest nuclear power plants was built in the region - Kozloduy in Bulgaria.

Metallurgy

• In the post-war period, the industry actively grew and developed in all countries of the region, with non-ferrous metallurgy relying mainly on its own raw materials, and ferrous metallurgy on imported ones.

• The southern metallurgical base of Poland was formed on the basis of the Upper Silesian coal basin. It includes about two dozen factories, including two very large plants - Huta-Krakow and Katowice.

Mechanical engineering

• The industry is also represented in all countries, but is most developed in the Czech Republic (primarily machine tool manufacturing, production of household appliances and computer equipment); Poland and Romania are distinguished by the production of metal-intensive machines and structures, Hungary, Bulgaria, Latvia - by the electrical industry; In addition, shipbuilding is developed in Poland and Estonia.

Chemical industry

• The chemical industry of the region lags far behind that of Western Europe due to the lack of raw materials for the most advanced branches of chemistry - oil. But we can still note the pharmaceuticals of Poland and Hungary, the glass industry of the Czech Republic.

Agriculture

• The economic structure of the region is heterogeneous: in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, and the Baltic countries, the share of livestock farming exceeds the share of crop farming; in the rest, the ratio is still the opposite.

• Due to the diversity of soil and climatic conditions, several zones of crop production can be distinguished: wheat is grown everywhere, but in the north (Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) rye and potatoes play an important role, in the central part of the subregion vegetable growing and horticulture are cultivated, and the “southern” countries specialize on subtropical crops.
• The main crops grown in the region are wheat, corn, vegetables, and fruits.

• The main wheat and corn regions of Eastern Europe were formed within the Middle and Lower Danube lowlands and the Danube hilly plain (Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria).
• Hungary has achieved the greatest success in grain growing.

• There are many apple, plum and peach orchards and vineyards in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. Various vegetables are grown everywhere - tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers. In these countries, almost no dish is complete without vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are processed in many factories.

• Vegetables, fruits, and grapes are cultivated almost everywhere in the subregion, but there are areas where they primarily determine the specialization of agriculture. These countries and regions also have their own specialization in terms of product range. For example, Hungary is famous for its winter varieties of apples, grapes, and onions; Bulgaria – oilseeds; Czech Republic - hops, etc.

Animal husbandry.

• The northern and central countries of the region specialize in dairy and meat and dairy cattle breeding and pig breeding, while the southern countries specialize in mountain pasture meat and wool cattle breeding

The countries of Eastern Europe can be conditionally divided into 3 groups according to the commonality of their EGP, resources, and level of development.

• Northern group: Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia. These countries are still characterized by a low degree of integration, but there are common tasks in the development of the maritime economy.
• Central group: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary. The economy of the first two countries is of a clearly industrial nature. The Czech Republic ranks first in the region in terms of industrial output per capita.
• Southern group: Romania, Bulgaria, countries of the former Yugoslavia, Albania. In the past, these were the most backward countries, and now, despite major changes in their economy, the countries of this group lag behind the countries of the 1st and 2nd groups in most indicators.

Transport

• In Eastern Europe, which lies at the crossroads of routes that have long connected the eastern and western parts of Eurasia, the transport system has been developing over many centuries. Nowadays, railway transport is the leader in terms of transportation volume, but road and sea transport are also intensively developing. The presence of major ports contributes to the development of foreign economic relations, shipbuilding, ship repair, and fishing.

Tourism

• The azure sea, picturesque mountains, mineral springs, warm climate, historical monuments attract many tourists here. Tourism and resort business bring big income

Population The region's population is about 130 million people, but the demographic situation, which is difficult throughout Europe, is the most alarming in Eastern Europe. Despite the active demographic policy pursued over several decades, natural population growth is very small (less than 2%) and continues to decline. Bulgaria and Hungary are even experiencing natural population decline. The main reason for this is the disruption of the age-sex structure of the population as a result of the Second World War. In some countries, natural increase is higher than the regional average (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia), and it is the largest in Albania - 20%. The largest country in the region is Poland (about 40 million people), the smallest is Estonia (about 1.5 million people)

Natural resources The climate is temperate maritime, temperate continental, in the south it becomes subtropical Mediterranean. Natural zones are diverse, large areas are occupied by mixed and broad-leaved forests.

Slide 9

Slide description:

Natural resource reserves include: coal (Poland, Czech Republic), oil and natural gas (Romania), iron ores (Romania, Slovakia), bauxite (Hungary).

10 slide

Slide description:

In general, it must be said that the region is experiencing a shortage of resources, and in addition, it is a striking example of the “incompleteness” of a set of minerals. Thus, Poland has large reserves of coal, copper ores, and sulfur, but almost no oil, gas, or iron ore. In Bulgaria, on the contrary, there is no coal, although there are significant reserves of copper ores and polymetals.

11 slide

Slide description:

Energy Due to a shortage of oil reserves, this region is focused on coal, most of the electricity is generated by thermal power plants (more than 60%), but hydroelectric power plants and nuclear power plants also play an important role. One of the largest nuclear power plants was built in the region - Kozloduy in Bulgaria.

Slide description:

Metallurgy In the post-war period, the industry actively grew and developed in all countries of the region, with non-ferrous metallurgy relying mainly on its own raw materials, and ferrous metallurgy on imported ones. The southern metallurgical base of Poland was formed on the basis of the Upper Silesian coal basin. It includes about two dozen factories, including two very large plants - Huta-Krakow and Katowice.

Slide 13

Slide description:

Mechanical engineering The industry is also represented in all countries, but is most developed in the Czech Republic (primarily machine tool building, production of household appliances and computer equipment); Poland and Romania are distinguished by the production of metal-intensive machines and structures, Hungary, Bulgaria, Latvia - by the electrical industry; In addition, shipbuilding is developed in Poland and Estonia.

Slide 14

Slide description:

Chemical industry The region's chemical industry lags far behind that of Western Europe due to the lack of raw materials for the most advanced branches of chemistry - oil. But we can still note the pharmaceuticals of Poland and Hungary, the glass industry of the Czech Republic.

Slide description:

Agriculture The structure of the region's economy is heterogeneous: in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, and the Baltic countries, the share of livestock farming exceeds the share of crop farming; in the rest, the ratio is still the opposite.

16 slide

Slide description:

Due to the diversity of soil and climatic conditions, several zones of crop production can be distinguished: wheat is grown everywhere, but in the north (Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) rye and potatoes play an important role, in the central part of the subregion vegetable growing and horticulture are cultivated, and the “southern” countries specialize on subtropical crops. The main crops grown in the region are wheat, corn, vegetables, and fruits.

Slide 17

Slide description:

The main wheat and corn regions of Eastern Europe were formed within the Middle and Lower Danube lowlands and the Danube hilly plain (Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria). Hungary has achieved the greatest success in grain growing.

18 slide

Slide description:

There are many apple, plum and peach orchards and vineyards in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. Various vegetables are grown everywhere - tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers. In these countries, almost no dish is complete without vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are processed in many factories.

In general, it must be said that the region is experiencing a shortage of resources, and in addition, it is a striking example of the “incompleteness” of a set of minerals. Thus, Poland has large reserves of coal, copper ores, and sulfur, but almost no oil, gas, or iron ore. In Bulgaria, on the contrary, there is no coal, although there are significant reserves of lignite, copper ores, and polymetals.

Slide 6

Slide 7

The region's population is about 130 million people, but the demographic situation, which is difficult throughout Europe, is the most alarming in Eastern Europe. Despite the active demographic policy pursued over several decades, natural population growth is very small (less than 2%) and continues to decline.

Slide 8

Bulgaria and Hungary are even experiencing natural population decline. The main reason for this is the disruption of the age-sex structure of the population as a result of the Second World War. In some countries, natural increase is higher than the regional average (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia), and it is the largest in Albania - 20%.

Slide 9

Slide 10

Poland, Hungary, and Albania have the most homogeneous national composition. Lithuania. Eastern Europe has always been an arena of national and ethnic conflicts. After the collapse of the socialist system, the situation became more complicated, especially on the territory of the most multinational country in the region - Yugoslavia, where the conflict escalated into an interethnic war.

Slide 11

Slide 12

Firstly, industries developed at a faster pace - by the 80s, Europe had become one of the most industrial regions of the world, and secondly, previously very backward regions also began to develop industrially (For example, Slovakia in the former Czechoslovakia, Moldova in Romania, northeast Poland).

Slide 13

Such results became possible thanks to the implementation of regional policy. Agriculture of the region mainly meets the food needs of the population. Under the influence of scientific and technological revolution, significant changes occurred in the structure of the economy of the countries of Eastern Europe: the agro-industrial complex emerged, and specialization of agricultural production took place. It was most clearly manifested in grain farming and in the production of vegetables, fruits, and grapes. The economic structure of the region is heterogeneous: in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, and the Baltic countries, the share of livestock farming exceeds the share of crop production; in the rest, the ratio is still the opposite.

Hungary has achieved the greatest success in grain growing. Vegetables, fruits, and grapes are cultivated almost everywhere in the subregion, but there are areas where they primarily determine the specialization of agriculture. These countries and regions also have their own specialization in terms of product range. For example, Hungary is famous for its winter varieties of apples, grapes, and onions; Bulgaria - oilseeds; Czech Republic - hops, etc. Animal husbandry. The northern and central countries of the region specialize in dairy and meat and dairy cattle breeding and pig breeding, while the southern countries specialize in mountain pasture meat and wool animal husbandry.

Slide 2

The countries of Eastern Europe represent a single natural territorial massif stretching from the Baltic to the Black and Adriatic Seas. The region and adjacent countries are based on an ancient Precambrian platform, covered by a cover of sedimentary rocks, as well as an area of ​​Alpine folding.

Slide 3

An important feature of all countries in the region is their transit position between the countries of Western Europe and the CIS. The countries of Eastern Europe differ from each other in geographical location, configuration, size of territory, and wealth of natural resources.

Slide 4

Natural resource reserves include: coal (Poland, Czech Republic), oil and natural gas (Romania), iron ores (countries of the former Yugoslavia, Romania, Slovakia), bauxite (Hungary), chromite (Albania).

Slide 9

The largest country in the region is Poland (about 40 million people), the smallest is Estonia (about 1.5 million people). The population of Eastern Europe has a complex ethnic composition, but one can note the predominance of Slavic peoples. Of the other peoples, the most numerous are Romanians, Albanians, Hungarians, and Lithuanians.

Slide 11

The countries of Eastern Europe today are not characterized by a pronounced socio-economic unity. But in general we can say that _. in the 2nd half of the 20th century. Great changes have occurred in the economies of Eastern European countries.
