The Rise of the Slavs

 Salvete Omnes,

a short entry - Razib Khan talks to Peter Nimitz about the rise of the Slavs-  from the Proto-Indoeuropeans to the medieval Slavic explossion all over Central, Southern, and Eastern Europe. 

Through the more than a 1000 years of war against the Germanic invaders, and the 500 years of wars against the Turkic-Tatar nomads and the Ottoman empire, until the conquests of Vienna 1683, capture of Crimea in 1770s and liberation of the southern Slavs in the XIX century. 

Finally, until the victories of 1944-45 wiped out 1000  years of the German Drang nach Osten.
