The great political and cultural upheavals of the 19th and 20th centuries had repercussions for the Jews of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe that extended up to the beginning of the Second World War, when the great majority of European Jews were murdered. The Jews of Eastern Europe and the Jews of South-Eastern Europe were faced with different political contexts: the Partitions of Poland in the first case, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the latter case. However, the Ashkenazim and Sephardim could take advantage of their rapprochement with the majority culture and their mobilisation which had been growing since the turn of the century. This is evident above all in the migration processes triggered by the shifting borders in Eastern Europe and the Balkans and by the increasing impoverishment of many Jews. Often, the Jewish migrants settled initially in the large European cities before finally leaving their homeland and emigrating overseas.
