Does Europe have a centre? Reflections on the history of Western and Central Europe
Any definition of Central Europe based on geographical and or historical facts causes difficulties. The line dividing Europe during the Cold War has a very limited use because it does not take into account Central Europe as a special part of the continent. Historians such as Geoffrey Barraclough, Hugh Seton-Watson and Oskar Halecki discussed the idea of a separate identity of Central Europe during the Cold War. Especially after the fall of the Berlin Wall, this discussion was re-opened. From a historian s point of view, the most important contributions came from Piotr Wandycz and Jen Sz cs. An imaginary centre of Europe can only be found in the continent s common history.There is a belief, rather widespread in English-speaking countries, that the eastern half of Europe is inhabited by a number of endlessly quarrelling small nations whose conflicts keep endangering the quiet and comfort of Anglophones.
