| "Slavs are customarily divided into three major subgroups:
East Slavs, West Slavs, and South Slavs, each with a somewhat different
background. The East Slavs may all be traced to Slavic-speaking
populations that were organized as Kievan Rus' beginning in the 9th century
A.D. and eventually fell under the influence of the Mongol Empire. Almost
all of the South Slavs can be traced to ethnic Slavs who mixed with
the local population of the Balkans (Illyrians, Thracians, Dacians and
Getae) and with later invaders from the East (Bulgars, Avars, Alans,
Petchenegs, and Cumans), then fell under the hegemony of the Ottoman Empire.
The West Slavs (and the Slovenes) do not share either of these
backgrounds, but gradually expanded so far to the West that they fell into
the cultural sphere of Western (Roman Catholic) Christendom around this
timeframe."1. |
