Orchomene Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Eastern and Western Europe haven't exactly been clearly defined throughout history. The Rhine and the Danube was really the most logical border between east and west, and it is only recently that it became a political division with the Iron Curtain. edit: Sorophx, 78% of the population of Russia lives in the designated European area. It is referred to as Eurasia, if we want to be technical. The Rhine seems to me to be a bit too much to the West to be a valid limit between western and eastern Europe. Former DDR, former Tchekoslovakia, Hungaria, Rumania are in central Europe. After that you can think about considering eastern Europe. But even there, like in some parts of Poland, this is still very central european. You can sum up things by just considering that : - Western Europe is the part of Europe where countries consider that the invasions come from the East. - Eastern Europe is the part of Europe where countries consider that the invasions come from the West. - Central Europe is the part of Europe where countries consider that the invasions come from the West and the East. Of course, Central Europe suffered a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Central Europe suffered a lot more. There really isn't a right or wrong answer here, all I'm saying is those are all political delineations that have not existed all that long. The Rhine and the Danube marked the eastern border of the Roman Empire. For centuries it was a very clear divider between the Roman civilization and barbarian masses.

Morgoth Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 East and West is much more a political border, less a geographical one. Hungary or Czech Republic for instance are Central Europe, but because of their ties with the Soviet past, they are considered Eastern Europe. Rain makes everything better.

Orogun01 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Psychological borders, the cold war, that kind of thing. Geographic barriers, Russia it's actually in Asia, Europe ideologically and if you want to compromise Eurasia.

From Wikipedia: is a state in northern Eurasia Personally I think that Peter the Great efforts to make Russia a part of Europe last to this day. But there are many differences between Russia and Europe, mostly geographical that puts them at odd.
