What are three ways to define Europe. Discuss current political organization in Europe

What will be an ideal response?

• Europe may be defined physically as geographical landmass, culturally and as a concept that includes several island nations (e.g., the United Kingdom), the nation-states on the western end of the European continent to western Russia in the east, and to countries such as Sweden in the north and Greece in the south.
• For much of its history Europe was divided into fiefdoms that were often governed by loosely defined kingdoms and later empires.
• In recent times Europe may be perceived as a collection of independent democratic nation-states.
