Same place I did last time this was reposted (about 5 days ago).
2nd slide except count Austria and Finland as Western, that’s what my brain says
You do not need to draw the line if you stop associating Eastern Europe with poor, uneducated, communist countries.
Otherwise it is clear why the Polish, the Czechs or the Romanians have their ass burnt when someone says they are Eastern Europe.
All fit depending on the context except #4 and #5. Personally, #2.
Number 2, but Finland and Austria get blue’d
2 but Austria and Finland in west
Europa est omnis divisa in partes quinque. Ergo, the last map for sure
I know it’s weird, but Greece is in the west and the Balkans aren’t.
2 but austria and finnland are west
Or last last is good
I was sure that the Poland is in a Central part of Europe?
Every map is wrong. There’s only 2 countries in eastoid Europe.
Portugal and Belarus (Russia is not Europe and Turkey definitely is not a part of Europe)
One thing is sure, East-onia in the Eastern Europe
1 – traditional cultural “civilizations” i.e. the difference between Western Christianity (Catholicism and Protestantism) and Orthodoxy
2 – geographical, has very little to do with cultural divisions
3 – modern political, based on major political connections, even though it doesn’t entirely make sense with either Ukraine, Georgia or Turkey
4 – more nuanced modern political, even though doesn’t entirely make sense for Armenia or Turkey
5 – rather a global hemisphere division overlaid on Europe, doesn’t make sense for Iceland, Ireland either. Actually not sure what this is exactly.
6 – one of the many interpretations of regional subdivisions, not sure why it’s here with others as they are only showing the east-west split.
Warsaw Pact = Eastern Europe and we’re all called Vladislav and Nadia.
I don’t think Europe should be divided just by one line. The last map, with Central, Southern and Northern Europe is much better in showing cultural and geographical similarities.
The first picture looks good but i would discribe the balken region as a separate one not west not east just the balks
You forgot about thing in geography called Central Europe
1st is correct, people need to get over the cold war era mentality of what is east and west.
Totalitarism and faux democracy is where I draw the line. Once freedom of speech and association are limited, the line needs to be reinforced.
Western Europe = W of London
Eastern Europe = E of London
And Greece
I really do not care for your outdated symbolism as long as I got my money for the job I love at a decent level.
A better division is Scandinavia, the Western Coasts and Islands, The Mediterranean, The Danube, The Northern Plain, and the Southern Mountains.
It kind of ignores the Black Sea though.
The first one but with Greece in the west
Hence why concept of central europe exists
Honestly western and eastern Europe is more cultural than Geographical
Number 2 but also include Austria
Finland is a bit of a tricky one, because they were never communist you could say Western Europe
Isn’t there a Eastern European timezone? Finland and Greece are +2 not sure about the others
6 seems about right
Central Europe ftw!
Anything that used to be behind the iron curtain is Eastern Europe.
Greece is a bit of an anomaly.
I’m going to have to go with picture number 5, it’s the only one that actually makes sense
Slide nr 2 please, thank you.
Honestly everything behind the old iron curtain is eastern to me (except eastern germany).
The last one seems the best one.
Because Europe does not consist of just 2 borders. Economicaly, culturally and society wise….
Western Europe is EU before 2004 and parts of Cyprus. At least in most people consciousness in the west. Important but : Nothing wrong with Eastern Europe. It’s a very important part of the EU. It is kind of annoying to see authoritarian tendencies but we need to help.
Easy: The territory of the former Roman Empire is Western Europe
Greece is not Eastern Europe
RO & BG is West but AU is definitely East. 🦘🦘🦘
Wherever the line is, Finland as a Nordic country & a Nato country and Greece as the origin for Western culture, education and democracy most definitely are *not* Eastern Europe.
Speaking as a Romanian here: on the Rhine. Strasbourg is Western Europe, Kehl is Eastern Europe. As you can clearly see from that mosque right after you cross the Rhine by train when coming from France.
*looked at the last map, sigh*
romania has nothing in common with russia, ukraine, or belarus lmao. literally nothing, they are a completely foreign culture to us. we have way more in common with hungary and bulgaria so it’s way more applicable to put us in southern or central europe
Last one, but Romania is not only Eastern(Moldova), is it also Central(Transylvania), and Southern(Wallachia).

Why is Portugal eastern europe?
