- n8cpdx 3y agoThe definition of Europe is not a fixed historical constant. Including various islands in particular continents is an essentially arbitrary choice. Europe as a geographic feature is a distinct concept from Europe as a sociopolitical entity. It is clear that Europe and the UK have been diverging culturally, socially, and politically for some time now. UK does not have the political connections, open borders, collectivization of resources, harmonized regulations, shared currency, or really any other connection to the rest of the Europeans beyond memory.
- dharma1 3y agopolitically yes - culturally or socially I don't see it a divergence. Very similar to rest of Europe

- Danieru 3y agoGibraltar...

- Aardwolf 3y agoWhich of the 7 geographical continents do you consider it to be part of then?
- xcv123 3y agoObviously the English Channel separates the continental mainland and the UK. Geographically the UK is part of the British and Irish Isles. The UK is generally not considered as part of "continental Europe", but some definitions of Europe also include the UK geographically. It is debatable but I draw a line where the Atlantic Ocean clearly separates it from the mainland.
