Europe political map
Europe political map.
Europe is considered politically as a continent or geographically as part of the supercontinents of Eurasia and Afro-Eurasia. It is sometimes called the "Old Continent" as opposed to the "New World" (America). On the cultural level, Europe has received many influences over the ages, and includes many countries that have both a common heritage, linguistic, religious and historical differences, and recent contributions from globalization. As such, Europe is a space of civilization forged by a millennial history. A community of peoples, of different states, tends to be politically constituted with the European Union. Map 2008.
