Europe is a continent that spans the westernmost part of Eurasia and is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and Asia to the east. Covering approximately 10.18 million square kilometers, it is the second smallest continent by surface area but one of the most densely populated, with around 750 million people.

Europe’s blend of historical depth, cultural richness, economic power, and political complexity makes it a unique and influential continent on the global stage.
