Derived termsRelated termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Europe (/ˈjʊərəp/) is, by convention, one of the world's seven continents. Comprising the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, Europe is generally divided from Asia to its east by the water divide of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus Mountains (or the Kuma-Manych Depression), and the Black Sea to the southeast. Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean and other bodies of water to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Black Sea and connected waterways to the southeast. Yet the borders for Europe—a concept dating back to classical antiquity—are somewhat arbitrary, as the term continent can refer to a cultural and political distinction or a physiographic one. Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000 sq mi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50 states, Russia is the largest by both area and population, while the Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third most populous continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 731 million or about 11% of the world's population; however, according to the United Nations (medium estimate), Europe's share may fall to about 7% by 2050. In 1900, Europe's share of the world's population was 25%. Europe, in particular Ancient Greece, is the birthplace of Western culture. It played a predominant role in global affairs from the 16th century onwards, especially after the beginning of colonialism. Between the 16th and 20th centuries, European nations controlled at various times the Americas, most of Africa, Oceania, and large portions of Asia. Both World Wars were ignited in Europe greatly contributing to a decline in European dominance in world affairs by the mid-20th century as the United States and Soviet Union took prominence. During the Cold War Europe was divided along the Iron Curtain between NATO in the West and the Warsaw Pact in the East. European integration led to the formation of the Council of Europe and the European Union in Western Europe, both of which have been expanding eastward since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

I am thinking about living in Europe for a while in some quiet place, but close to the city. What is the best country to live with good schools, people, healthcare, culture, etc? May be UK or Switzerland? Asked by lizochek09 - Sat Aug 29 13:20:00 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. On levels of family happiness based on Health care, Education, best income per head and so on then the Republic of Ireland is the best country not only in Europe but in the world. However if you want to be in a rich and powerful country that is also a simply nice place to live then the United Kingdom, France or Germany are definitely the best. The UK has the best trained army in the world and is the 3rd trade capital of the world, France is cultural and also rich and Germany is very technologically advanced. Overall I would say the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland are best, they are politically stable, extremely good with national defence and are simply nice countries.

What will be the temperature at these places during second half of March? Will we need to carry winter cloths?

That time of year I would pack for warm clothing and dry clothing. It may rain or snow still. It may be very cold or chilly still too. The further north you go the colder it gets of course. So bring clothes for winter and for spring and maybe a couple summer. You can always buy new shirts or such if needed inexpensively.
