Europe and Asia share the same land mass, which is so large that geographers divide it into two continents. The dividing line runs through the center of Russia, along the Ural Mountains to the Caspian
Sea and southwest to the Black Sea. On its other sides, Europe is surrounded by water-the Baltic, Arctic
Ocean and North Sea to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean and Black Sea to the south.
The Impact of Geography. The Pyrenees and Alps mountain ranges separated European peoples, allowing them to develop different languages and cultures. However, Europe’s location close to Africa and the Middle East also enabled Europeans to borrow from the cultures of these regions. Much of
Europe consists of a broad, fertile plain with few defensible frontiers to the east. Thus, throughout its history, the borders of Russia, Poland, and Germany have constantly shifted. Because of Europe’s dense population, many different ethnic groups live close to one another. As a result Europe has been the stage for frequent wars.
Questions:
How was Europe influenced by its geography?
