What is the most important country in Europe. Foreign Europe - countries and capitals

Europe is one of the most densely populated parts of Eurasia. There are 47 countries on the map of Europe, 4 of which are partially recognized or not recognized at all. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the very center of Europe is the village of Purnushkaya, which is located in Lithuania. But at the same time, other results on calculating the center can also be considered correct, because in addition to the main territory on the map of Europe, there are a fairly large number of islands, and there are also territories dependent on Europe, such as Gibraltar or Svalbard.

Ukraine, oddly enough, is the largest country in Europe. It is not worth remembering about Russia, since territorially it belongs to both Europe and Asia. Ukraine covers an area of ​​603,700 km2. And it took a place on the pedestal of the largest country in Europe after the collapse of the USSR, before that France rightfully flaunted there, which still remains the largest country in Western Europe.

The largest cities in Europe, in terms of population, include: London (population 7,393,800 people), Berlin (3,289,500 people), followed by Madrid, Rome, Kyiv and Paris, with a population of up to 3,000,000 people.

The division of Europe usually occurs in accordance with the territorial affiliation to the Southern, Northern, Western, Eastern and Central parts. This division is rather conditional, in fact it is not only a geographical location, but also political differences. Depending on the subjective point of view, countries are assigned to a certain group. The map of Europe has noticeably changed after the collapse of the USSR.

Currently to Western Europe include: Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Monaco, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Ireland, Germany, Great Britain, Belgium, Andorra, Austria.

AT Eastern Europe includes the countries of the former USSR or its neighbors: Slovakia, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Romania, Poland, Moldova, Hungary, Bulgaria, Belarus.

Northern Europe consists of: Sweden, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Lithuania, Latvia, Iceland, Denmark.

Southern Europe- these are mainly countries located on the coast of the sea: Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, San Marino, Portugal, Malta, Macedonia, Italy, Spain, Greece, Vatican, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania.

An interesting division into Central Europe, different countries are attributed to this part, but most often: Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, sometimes the Baltic countries. But still, these are only conditional divisions.

I would like to note that on the map of Europe there are also countries that are only partially included, for example, Georgia and Azerbaijan (about 5% of the territory), Kazakhstan (12.5% ​​of the territory), Turkey (4% of the territory), as well as Russia, approximately 22% of the territory.

Several international organizations have been formed on the territory of Europe, mainly of a political and economic nature. These include: Council of Europe, European Union, Commonwealth of Independent States, OSCE, NATO, GUAM, Northern Council, EurAsEC, CSTO, Arctic Council, Benelux, Baltic Assembly, Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Also, the most developed countries of the world form the "Big Eight". Of the European countries, it includes Germany, Great Britain, Italy, France and Russia, if we consider it a European country.

Unlike, for example, the European Union, the G8 cannot be considered an international organization. This is the so-called group of eight, which generates various thoughts and ideas for improving the global climate and economy. The results of the Group of Eight meetings are not binding.

Europe- part of the world, which together with Asia forms the continent of Eurasia. The area is about 10 million sq. km. The population is 732 million people. It is washed by the Atlantic and Arctic oceans and their seas. The area of ​​the islands is about 730 thousand sq. km. The peninsulas account for about 1/4 of the territory of Europe (Kola, Scandinavian, Pyrenean, Apennine, Balkan, etc.).

The average height is about 300 m, the maximum is 5642 m (Elbrus). The highest mountain in Western Europe is Mont Blanc (4807 m). Plains prevail (large - East European, Central European, Middle and Lower Danube, Paris basin), mountains occupy about 17% of the territory (the main ones are the Alps, Carpathians, Pyrenees, Apennines, Ural Mountains, Scandinavian mountains, mountains of the Balkan Peninsula). There are active volcanoes in Iceland and the Mediterranean.

In most of the territory, the climate is temperate (in the west - oceanic, in the east - continental, with snowy and frosty winters), in the northern islands - subarctic and arctic, in southern Europe - Mediterranean. On the islands of the Arctic, in Iceland, the Scandinavian mountains, the Alps - glaciation (area over 116 thousand km2). Main rivers: Volga, Danube, Ural, Dnieper, Don, Pechora, Kama, Oka, Belaya, Dniester, Rhine, Elbe, Vistula, Tahoe, Loire, Danube, Oder. Large lakes: Ladoga, Onega, Peipus, Venern, Balaton, Geneva.

On the islands of the Arctic and along the coast of the Arctic Ocean - arctic deserts and tundras, to the south - forest-tundras, taiga, mixed and broad-leaved forests, forest-steppes, steppes, subtropical Mediterranean forests and shrubs; in the southeast - semi-deserts.

There are (in whole or in part) 50 states in Europe. These are Austria, Albania, Andorra, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Vatican, Great Britain, Hungary, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Denmark, Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Italy, part of Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation (approx. 2/3 of Europe), Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, part of Turkey, Ukraine, Finland, France, Croatia, Czech Republic , Switzerland, Sweden, Estonia, Yugoslavia (including Serbia and Montenegro).

It should be borne in mind that since the Caucasian ridge and the Black Sea straits are traditionally considered the geographical borders of Europe and Asia, the inclusion of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Cyprus in the list of European countries is based primarily on political, economic and cultural considerations and is not unambiguous.

Europe is usually divided into Northern and Southern, Western and Eastern, as well as Central. This division is rather arbitrary, especially since not only purely geographical, but also political factors come into play here. Some countries, depending on the "point of view", may be assigned to different groups of states.

In Soviet times, the division of Europe into East and West often had a political connotation - Eastern Europe included the GDR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Albania, Yugoslavia and the USSR - socialist countries, or, as they were also called, "countries of people's democracy". All other states belonged to Western Europe. At the same time, Spain, Portugal, the south of France, Italy, Malta, Cyprus, Greece and Turkey were also called Southern Europe, and Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland - Northern Europe.

Thus, at present, after the collapse of the USSR, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the countries of the former Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary, Austria, and sometimes the Baltic countries are included in Central Europe. To Eastern Europe - part of the Russian Federation, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova. To Western Europe - Great Britain, Ireland, France, Germany, etc. In some sources, the old division is preserved.

   It should be borne in mind that since the Caucasian ridge and the Black Sea straits are traditionally considered the geographical borders of Europe and Asia, the inclusion of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Cyprus in the list of European countries is based primarily on political, economic and cultural considerations and is not unambiguous.

   The largest state of those whose territory is located entirely in Europe is Ukraine. On the territory of Europe there are both the smallest and the largest state in the world - the Vatican and Russia.
