The following maps illustrate the geographic distribution of ethnic groups and their various identifiers over time in the Balkan peninsula. Due to its desirable geo-political position, its development has been marked by an amalgam of peoples, cultures, and politics. Significant historical migrations and empirical expansions have played a part in Balkan ethnography from ancient Roman times through to Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman conquests, the World Wars, the Cold War, and beyond. Lingering divisions over these population shifts and power exercises have had various consequences for the contemporary period.
