Everything east of the German/Austrian/Italian borders is usually considered Eastern Europe.
- adamnemecek 7y agoWell it's considered that incorrectly.
- n4r9 7y agoThe Czech Republic is usually considered to be in Central Europe. As an aside, it's Eastern-most border reaches about 18.8 longitude, Italy's Eastern-most mainland border reaches about 18.5.

- masklinn 7y agoNo. Everything east of the German / Austrian / Italian border was part of the Eastern block, which was the east / west clivage for about half a century. What's coming back is the pre-cold-war delineation where areas of orthodox primacy north of the black sea are eastern europe, south of it are south-eastern, and the catholic areas are central, northern, southern and western (with the iberic peninsula often being split out as southwestern). Basically before WWII "Western Europe" was France, the British Isles and the Low Countries.
