The map of Europe is like a patchwork quilt. The territories of different countries located in the West of the European continent adjoin tightly to each other. They are very small, but they live in perfect harmony with each other. Who created these countries and when?
The people who lived in the territories of Europe since ancient times
Even 300 years ago, the picture of history was completely different. The traces of this people could not even be erased by time. And now, even more interesting: the Slavic tribes that lived in these western territories were called Wends or Veneti.
Wends or Rusichi, in different languages they are called differently, everywhere the root sounds - "Wend". On old maps we read the name "Veneya", which meant Europe, or rather its western territories.
The territory of residence of the ancient Slavic tribes is indicated on the map of Europe.
Modern maps of Europe are full of names with the root vein (d), for example, the city of Vienna, Vendee - a department and a river in France. Let's not forget - the city of Venice in the province of Veneto.
Yes, everything speaks about what kind of people inhabited these places and left behind a memory. In the Baltic States there is the Venta river, the city of Ventspilos. In the past, the Baltic was called the Venets Sea. You can list for a long time.

The ancient historian Strabo (born in 63 BC) described the tribes of the Wends who lived in vast areas of western Europe. From the Venets Sea to Troy. With a modern sound, from the British Isles to all the banks of the Don. These tribes were experienced sailors.
The Venets tribes could have different names, depending on their place of residence and occupation.
Therefore, the names had others: antes, skloven. But it was a single people who spoke the same Proto-Slavic language. All these peoples called themselves Rasens.
Who gave the names to European states
The leaders of the Slavic tribes formed large principalities, which later became cities.
France. Castle and village 11-12 century.
And they received their names from the names of their leaders or princes. For example, the Vendian Slavic prince Skand gave the name of the northern part of Venia - Scandinavia.
The ancient Wends were able to settle in a vast territory, leaving their heritage in culture, rituals, and found runic writing.
Denmark. Boathouse. Runestone. Around the 10th century. Since 1994 it is considered a World Heritage Site. Are under the protection of UNESCO.
It is safe to say - several millennia ago, all people living for centuries in the same territory had related Slavic roots, a common culture and a single genotype. They all spoke the same language. These were the Proto-Slavic births.
