There are actually 2 main theories for the Proto-Indo European language hearth. The Kurgan theory and the Anatolian hearth theory.

The Anatolian theory states that the Proto-Indo European language came from present day Turkey.

The Kurgan theory states that the Proto-Indo European language came from near the steppes of Russia.

The Caucasus Mountain Range covers those two areas described perfectly. The mountains are near Turkey and relatively close to the steppes of Russia as well.

Hey the answer is the politics of the southern united states generally refers to the political landscape of the southern united states. due to the region's unique cultural and historical heritage, including slavery, the south has been involved in many political issues. some of these issues include states' rights, reconstruction, the civil rights movement and social conservatism. from the 1870s to the 1960s, the region was referred to as the solid south, due to their consistent support for democrats in all elective offices. as a result, its congressmen gained seniority across many terms, thus enabling them to control many congressional committees. in presidential politics, the south began to move away from national democratic loyalties with the dixiecrat movement of 1948 and the barry goldwater presidential campaign of 1964. among white southerners, democratic loyalties first fell away at the presidential level, followed much later at the state and local levels.
