Voldemorts Sphere of Influence

Got a question...

I couldn't find anything in the archives, but it could have been I wasn't searching with the right words...

How far does/did Voldemort's Reign of Terror extend?  Was it just the UK that experienced the dark times?  Or did Europe also have problems with Death Eaters?  Did other countries even know what was going on?  I know all of this is pure conjecture - I don't recall there being anything mentioned about Voldemort being feared around the world.

If Voldemort fled to the Albanian forest where he would be safe, does that mean that the area is more tolerant of evil megalomaniacs?  If I remember correctly, the giants also went to Europe to escape the ministry after Voldemort's downfall.  And Durmstang (sp) (the school that actually teaches the Dark Arts) is rumored to be in Northern Europe.  

What about the Salem Institute (sorry, I can't remember the full name and my books and notes are at home).  Are they even aware of what's going on?  They were at the World Cup, so they would have at least seen what happened, unless they left early.  How about other schools and wizard communities?  Would they offer help?  Or is Voldemort considered to be an internal problem that the UK wizards have to take care themselves.

All of this started running through my head last night while I was trying to fall asleep and I was wondering if it had been discussed at all.  I'd be curious to hear what everyone else thinks.
