Very often, the definition depends on the nationality and historical perspective of its author. The concept of "Central Europe" appeared in the 19th century. It was understood as a contact zone between the Southern and Northern areas, and later the Eastern and Western areas of Europe. Thinkers portrayed "Central Europe" either as a separate region, or a buffer zone between these regions. </p><p>In the early nineteenth century, the terms "Middle" or "Central" Europe (known as "Mitteleuropa" in German and "Europe centrale" in French) were introduced in geographical scholarship in both German and French languages. At first, these terms were linked to the regions spanning from the Pyrenees to the Danube, which, according to German authors, could be united under German authority. However, after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, the French began to exclude France from this area, and later the Germans also adopted this perspective by the end of World War I.<sup id="cite_ref-Aleksov_Piahanau_2020_pp7-8_88-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Aleksov_Piahanau_2020_pp7-8-88"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>88<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The concept of "Central" or "Middle Europe", understood as a region with German influence, lost a significant part of its popularity after WWI and was completely dismissed after WWII. Two defeats of Germany in the world wars, combined with the division of Germany, an almost complete disappearance of German-speaking communities in these countries, and the Communist-led isolation of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Yugoslavia from the Western world, turned the concept of "Central/Middle Europe" into an anachronism. On the other side, the non-German areas of Central Europe were almost universally regarded as "Eastern European" primarily associated with the Soviet sphere of influence in the late 1940s–1980s. </p><p>For the most part, this geographical framework lost its attraction after the end of the Cold War. A number of Post-Communist countries rather re-branded themselves in the 1990s as "Central European.", while avoiding the stained wording of "Middle Europe," which they associated with German influence in the region. This reinvented concept of "Central Europe" excluded Germany, Austria and Switzerland, reducing its coverage chiefly to Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania and Yugoslavia.<sup id="cite_ref-Aleksov_Piahanau_2020_pp7-8_88-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Aleksov_Piahanau_2020_pp7-8-88"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>88<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Academic">Academic</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Central_Europe&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Academic"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The main proposed regional definitions, gathered by Polish historian <a href="/wiki/Jerzy_K%C5%82oczowski" title="Jerzy Kłoczowski">Jerzy Kłoczowski</a>, include:<sup id="cite_ref-89" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-89"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>89<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>West-Central and <a href="/wiki/East-Central_Europe" title="East-Central Europe">East-Central Europe</a> – this conception, presented in 1950,<sup id="cite_ref-90" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-90"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>90<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> distinguishes two regions in Central Europe: German West-Centre, with the imperial tradition of the <i><a href="/wiki/Reich" title="Reich">Reich</a></i>, and the East-Centre covered by a variety of nations <i>from <a href="/wiki/Finland" title="Finland">Finland</a> to <a href="/wiki/Greece" title="Greece">Greece</a></i>, placed between the great empires of <a href="/wiki/Scandinavia" title="Scandinavia">Scandinavia</a>, Germany, Italy and the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a>.</li> <li>Central Europe as the area of the cultural heritage of the <a href="/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Lithuanian_Commonwealth" title="Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth">Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth</a> – <a href="/wiki/Ukraine" title="Ukraine">Ukrainian</a>, Belarusian and Lithuanian historians, in cooperation (since 1990) with Polish historians, insist on the importance of this concept.</li> <li>Central Europe as a region connected to <a href="/wiki/Western_world" title="Western world">Western civilisation</a> since the foundation of the local states and churches, including countries such as the <a href="/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Lithuanian_Commonwealth" title="Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth">Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Croatia_(Habsburg)" title="Kingdom of Croatia (Habsburg)">Kingdom of Croatia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire" title="Holy Roman Empire">Holy Roman Empire</a>, later <a href="/wiki/German_Empire" title="German Empire">German Empire</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Habsburg_monarchy" title="Habsburg monarchy">Habsburg monarchy</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Hungary" title="Kingdom of Hungary">Kingdom of Hungary</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Crown_of_Bohemia" class="mw-redirect" title="Crown of Bohemia">Crown of Bohemia</a>.
