Greece is included in both Southern and Western Europe. Although geographically located in South-Eastern Europe, Greece is more commonly associated with Western Europe due to the advanced Ancient Greek civilization and the inequality of modernization between Greece and Eastern Europe.

A simplistic answer yes, but one that gets to the heart of the issue: In Eastern Europe there are/were many unresolved conflicts/issues between nations & within each nation. These conflicts had emerged every few years prior to the Second World War. These local conflicts were set aside temporarily when Hitler gained the support of Slovakia, Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria & Romania to attack the Soviet Union in June 1941. When Stalin's Soviet Union defeated Hitler & his allies in Eastern Europe, the Soviets installed communist governments in these nations to keep them in alignment with the USSR during the Cold War. Tito's communist government with Soviet support in Yugoslavia, kept that nation geographically unified behind Serbian muscle. The Soviet Union's efforts in the Cold War did not allow for dissention in Eastern Europe, nor for the resolution of simmering feuds amongst the nations or territories that it controlled. When the Soviet Union collapsed, these Eastern European nations were once again free to exert their once-dormant claims on their neighbors (mostly for territory-based on ethnicity , religion, or language of the population). Most nations resolved these claims peacefully, to exhibit standards of behavior acceptable to potential NATO membership and out of fear for Russian interference. In those nations where future NATO or EU membership was desired, conflicts were resolved. In those places where Russia welded great influence, such as Serbia, then conflicts occurred. Some areas of the Balkans with large Islamic populations became agitated to violence by outside interests. Those nations that border with Russia are under the constant threat of Russian aggression or dominance, and conflicts are more likely.
