What is the difference between the eastern european and caucasus shatterbelts?

The Eastern European and Caucasus shatterbellets share multiple similarities, but also multiple differences.

Explanation:

A shatterbelt is an area that has been artificially marked because of some specific characteristics in has that make it stand out from the surrounding areas. Two shatterbelts that are well known are the Eastern European and the Caucasus ones, both being areas of lot of turbulence, unfortunately mostly negative one.

The Eastern European shatterbelt refers to in general to the ex communist countries, though often it is only the Balkans that is included in it nowadays. The area is culturally very homogeneous when compared to other areas, but it has a long tradition of conflicts. Every country in the area considers several other countries as enemies, the ethic, religious, territorial tensions have been present and still are, and it is often said that the area is like a barrel of gunpowder.

The Caucasus shatterbelt, on the other hand, is an area where there are very big differences. The differences are seen in the ethnic composition, cultural, religious, political, and that has caused big problems. Some countries have went directly into war against each other, while some have been under direct attack from an outside force, or rather Russia. There has been huge intolerance, though unlike in Eastern Europe, the tensions seem to have gradually went down.
