Atlas of Europe
Europe
English Europe
Europe is one of the seven traditional continents of the Earth. Physically and geologically, Europe is the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, west of Asia. Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. On the east, Europe is divided from Asia by the water divide of the Ural Mountains and by the Caspian Sea. Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area, covering about 10,400,000 square kilometres (4,010,000 sq mi) or 2.0% of the Earth's surface. The only continent smaller than Europe is Australia. In terms of population, it is the third-largest continent (after Asia and Africa) with a population of some 710,000,000 or about 11% of the world's population. However, the term continent can refer to a cultural and political distinction or a physiographic one, leading to various perspectives about Europe's precise borders, area, and population.
Deutsch Europa ist das westliche Fünftel der eurasischen Landmasse und wird historisch und kulturell begründet meist als eigenständiger Kontinent betrachtet, obwohl es eigentlich ein Subkontinent ist, der mit Asien zusammen einen Kontinent bildet. Insgesamt hat Europa eine Fläche von etwa 10,5 Millionen Quadratkilometern und ist damit nach Australien der zweitkleinste Kontinent. Dennoch besitzt Europa mit rund 680 Millionen Einwohnern mehr Einwohner als jeweils Australien, Nord- oder Südamerika. Die geografische Ausdehnung erstreckt sich nach gängiger Definition vom Nordmeer und dem Atlantischen Ozean im Norden und Westen bis zum Ural und Mittelmeer im Osten und Süden. Der Kontinent besteht zurzeit politisch aus 46 souveränen Staaten. 27 davon sind Mitglied der Europäischen Union.
français L’Europe est considérée comme un continent ou une partie de l’Eurasie (péninsule occidentale), voire de l’Eurafrasie, selon le point de vue. Elle est parfois qualifiée de « Vieux Continent » (ou d’« Ancien Monde »), par opposition au « Nouveau Monde » (Amériques).
русский Европа — часть света, образующая вместе с Азией материк Евразия (о сухопутной границе Европы смотри Азия).
italiano L’Europa è una penisola, parte occidentale dell'Eurasia. È comunque considerata un continente per motivi culturali. È un continente piccolo la cui superficie misura solo 10.400.000 km² (superiore soltanto all'Australia), popolati tuttavia da 799.000.000 abitanti (statistiche del 2003) che la portano ad essere il terzo continente più popolato (dopo Asia ed Africa), pari dunque ad un ottavo della popolazione mondiale.
Population 710,000,000 inhabitants
Area 10,400,000 km²
Major language(s) German, Russian, English, French, Italian, etc, see: Languages of Europe

Notes and references

General remarks:

  • The WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Atlas of the World is an organized and commented collection of geographical, political and historical maps available at Wikimedia Commons. The main page is therefore the portal to maps and cartography on Wikimedia. That page contains links to entries by country, continent and by topic as well as general notes and references.
  • Every entry has an introduction section in English. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to. The same goes for the texts in the history sections.
  • Historical maps are included in the continent, country and dependency entries.
  • The status of various entities is disputed. See the content for the entities concerned.
  • The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country. For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Turkey.
