Slavic tribes

Slavic tribes are groups of ethnic communities that originated from Eastern Europe and parts of Asia in the early medieval period. They played a significant role in shaping the cultural and political landscape of the region. Traditionally, they are divided into three main branches: West Slavs (like Poles and Czechs), South Slavs (like Serbs and Croats), and East Slavs (like Russians and Ukrainians). These tribes shared linguistic, cultural, and religious elements, which evolved into distinct nations over time. Early Slavic societies were agrarian, eventually forming powerful states that influenced European history, particularly through trade and conquest.
