!!!Donauraum

Donauraum (Danube area), comprises Austria, Hungary, former 
Czechoslovakia, large parts of former Yugoslavia, of Romania and 
Bulgaria and in a broader sense also south Germany. For centuries the 
Danube area was mainly the natural economic area of the 
Austro-Hungarian monarchy. After 1918 the Danube countries developed 
into separate national, economic and cultural regions. From 1938 to 
1945 the German Reich dominated the Danube area; from 1945 to 1989 its 
eastern part was under the influence of the Soviet Union. Since 1989 
the reform countries Czech Republic, Republic of Slovakia and Hungary 
have been more oriented towards western democracies.
