Central Europe

Central Europe is a location that, as you might've guessed from its name, is found in the center area of the continent of Europe. Which makes it not only conveniently located, but also appropriately named. After all, it would be only slightly ridiculous to go looking for Central Europe on the west coast of the United States or in Northern Africa. Though it goes without saying, Central Europe can be found south of Northern Europe as well as east of Western Europe, north of Southern Europe and yes... west of Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, defining Central Europe, its borders and the countries that comprise it are not always easily explained, as these have been adjusted and re-interpreted by various nations over the years. Because of this, some countries that have previously been associated with Central Europe such as Croatia, Romania and Serbia, have since been voted off the proverbial island. Most people would agree that places such as Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Liechtenstein (seriously, is this even an actual place? Has anybody even heard of it?), Poland, Slovakia and Switzerland are all part of Central Europe, with a little love thrown in to Slovenia, which is also part of Southeastern Europe.

In film, Central Europe features prominently in movies dealing with World War II and the Cold War.
