Definition

Europe and Asia are connected, which makes it tricky to know where Europe ends and Asia begins. The line between them is often drawn based on history, politics, and culture, not just natural geography.

A map of Europe shows one way to decide its borders.

Blue = Contiguous transcontinental countries
Green = Sometimes considered European due to culture, politics, economy and history, but geographically outside Europe's boundaries
