Europe is a unique continent, which is not surrounded by water from all directions, and has an overland border with the neighbouring Asia. Physiographically, it occupies the northwestern part of the large landmass known as Eurasia and surrounded from the north by the Arctic Ocean, from the west by the Atlantic Ocean, from the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and from the southeast by the Black Sea.

The European continent is an interesting case study of the divided between Eastern and Western Europe. The divided is an older issue rooted in historical events in modern European history. History allows understanding of what drives the divided in Europe into the contemporary times. Eastern Europe has specific regional issues that divide it from Western Europe. The most important are the weak governments and economics. The lack of strength in government allowed for the rise of empires to take over the region; sadly, this leads to the ethnic division within the regions, as people groups moved to different parts of an empire.

Germanic society meets Slavic society in this locale that straddles east and west, with noteworthy towns, tall tale palaces, brew, woods, untainted farmland, and mountain reaches, including the powerful Alps. Europe's rich agrarian and modern differing qualities has made the landmass a focal point of exchange and trade for a considerable length of time. It is halfway situated between the two other "Old World" main lands, Africa and Asia. This custom of trade provoked the early and fast urbanization of the landmass, unmistakable in numerous dynamic urban communities that make up the greater part of Europe. Ranger service, the administration of trees and other vegetation in backwoods, is a vital industry in Europe. Woodland commercial enterprises create more than $600 billion consistently. Ranger service and timber commercial enterprises utilize 3.7 million individuals, and record for 9 percent of Europe's assembling (GDP).

Europe is given special consideration thus far in this class. What made Europe or European civilization unique in the perspective of some authors? It went from ‘marginal’ status to powerful region in a few hundred years. What did this process look like?
