January 16, 201115 yr 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.

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.
January 16, 201115 yr 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.

January 16, 201115 yr 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. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

January 16, 201115 yr Europe isn't really a continent anyways. I don't even think it's a real place, it's like never never land.
January 16, 201115 yr It's the only place in the world that doesn't have one armpit of a country connecting the next. Well, it does too but not continually. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
January 16, 201115 yr According to Wikipedia Russia is in the European continent. It's continual land mass though, so where does Asia start. 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. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
January 16, 201115 yr I didn't believe it when I read it, but It said Russia was had the biggest population in the European continent. Type in 'Europe', instead of 'Russia' Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
