You might say so but the lifestyle, economical, influencal, destination wise, business wise and many more important factors are European based for the majority of the country.

@@craiglungren8703 According to the world, parallel and meridians, Turkey is in Europe. Not as east as Russia, not as south as Spain. The island of Cyprus is also a member of the EU. But it doesn't matter. Eurasian country. Europe's power is waning. Asia is rising. China, Russia and India will be good for your spoiled.
Europe itself shouldn't even be considered a "continent" since its geography is in no way seperated from Asia. The only reason why Europe is a continent is because of racial reasons, they don't want to be associated with Asia because their "race" is different from them. That's why Eurasia is a mostly accepted term to describe the landmass.
Europe is a continent. Well actually the Indo-Europeans actually came from Eurasia and then migrated into the land of Europe many thousands of years ago
In my opinion, Turkey is geographically and historically connected with Europe. I mean, it’s historical ruins are representing the European culture (I know, those things weren’t directly built by the Turks but I’m talking about what they have today.) Also it’s climate pretty similar to other Balkanian and South European countries. But in the sense of culture, Turkish culture depends on where you live. If you live in the Western Turkey, it’s possible for you to see modern and liberal Turks, but when you go to the east, it’s being similar to other Asian cultures (But of course we should say that in Eastern Turkey, mostly Kurds live and their culture is more conservative than Turks). In the sense of genetics, well studies say that today Turkey Turks are between 40% to 45% European due to historical migrations from Balkans/Caucasus to Turkey. So I think it’s a uniqe country that includes both west and east but I wouldn’t mind if they join the EU because they are already part of the Europe in lot’s of categories (Sport, Law, Politics, History, Geography, Music, Art, Culture, etc.)
@European Pride Balkans are for majority either Turkish or have Turkish influence. So now you know it. I am not claiming the Turks to be Europeans from origin, but we are now more adapted to European than Asian. Its just strange that Europe considers Georgia, Russia and Armenia to be European but keeps away a huge landmass exactly in between.
Turks originated from central asia and belong to the turkic ethnic group, 97% of turkey is in asia and shares/similar to most of the culture in the middle east. Europe will never consider turkey European. Turkey is a asian/middle eastern country. I say this as a turk
@European Pride they arent native but word turk isnt even ethnicity. In ottoman we mixed with whole balkans, armenians, georgians, arabs, kurds etc. And believe me most turks are genetically half european. Nowadays turkey turk is more like a word for todays anatolian person. And there was and there is A LOT OF europeans in anatolia.
Staying turkey in Europe is like saying Egypt is Asian because they are both tiny land on other Continents in case Turkey is more culturally Asian like Egyptian people call themselves Arab than African Turkey is 97% in Asia and Egypt is 95% in Africa but they both want to use the small amount of land mass they do have to claim that they belong to other content for economic interests

L' Europe va jusqu'à l'Oural, donc la Turquie étant bien à l'ouest de ce massif montagneux, on peut la considérer comme étant en Europe. De toute façon l'Asie et l'Europe ne forment qu'un seul continent, l' Eurasie.
The things works like this: The turks are extremly Asian. HOWEVER, the ottoman empire went berserker in almost all directions, partially modifying the cultures of the region; Which now means... Country which Turkey shares a lot of food with? Bulgaria. Which country is culturally partially close to Anatolian coast? Greece. Region in which turkey has the most important parts of it's history? The balkans. Turkey Is Asian, but it's also close to an honorary balkan country.
Turkey is fully European and fully Asian. They have claims to both continents and should not be excluded on the basis of race, ethnicity or religion. I find that the European Establishment is very bigoted on this issue. If Turkey had remained a Christian country from the time of the Romans until now, they would have already received full membership in the European Union.
Were 100% Asian The otoman empire came from Mongolia like Korea,south China and a part of Japan wich explains why most of the Turks have a East Asian look.

Technically its in Europe, but they are not a part of European civilization. The areas that are in Europe has historically been inhabited by the Greek Tribes, until around the end of 15th century.
@@beyazOda0 because there are always naive Turks making claims on how they are relevant to Europe, when they are in fact more relevant to saudi Arabia than any European country (ok climate excluded)
Half of Turkiye is in Europe, the other half is in Asia. It is exactly in Eurasia and neighbors with 3 regions. (Balkans, Middle East and Caucasus) The Bosphorus was formed later geologically. In other words, before the Bosphorus was formed, the northwest of Anatolia and Europe were not separate. On the other hand, some people say that Turks are not ethnically and culturally European. Today, the concept of Europeanness is based on Christianity, but Christianity is not a European religion. The real Europeans are the Greeks and the Latins in Italy. Because they established the European civilization. The Romans described people of Germanic and Celtic origin as uncivilized barbarians. People of Germanic and Celtic origin later became Europeans thanks to the Romans. No other people are European except the Greeks and the Latins (in Italy).

Europe is not limited to Western Europe and Turkey is not the only Turkic country with Ural-Alta roots in the European continent. It is also not the only Muslim country in Europe. In the continent of Europe, in addition to Turkey, parts of the territory of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, all the territories of the Republics of Tatarstan, Bashkiria, Chuvashstan, Kumyk-Balkar, Karachay-Cherkess, the Crimean Peninsula are of Turkish origin, and the countries of Hungary, Finland and Estonia are of the origin of the Ural Altai and the countries of Kosovo. , Bosnia, Albania, Chechnya, Dagestan and... Muslim. So Europe does not belong only to Western European countries
As a Turk living on the Anatolian side of Turkey, I say that in most parts of Anatolia the lifestyle is almost the same as in most Turkic countries, there is little difference in terms of language and culture, among the commentators there are those who say: Turks are culturally European.😀
Had Christianity be a more dominant religion in the region, Turkey had long been accepted in the European Union. For west, Christianity is the religion of whites, Muslims live in middle East, Hindus occupy India while China and Russia are communist (a new religion). And black is totally new religion.
That's right. That is why the religious and dictatorial Turkish government has turned its head towards the Middle East. But the Turkish people are not from the Middle East. Culturally and genetically they are much closer to Europe. When the government changes, it would not be so difficult for Turkey to join the European Union if the issue is not reduced to religious discrimination.
Turkey is not a European country, neither culturally nor geographically. Almost all Europeans don't regard Turkey as part of Europe. There is no room for doubt.

@HelloBalkans No, actually geographically Turkey could be a part of Europe. Anatolia, which was a territory of the Eastern Roman Empire. At that time, the Anatolian peninsula was belong to Europe. Now it's under Turkish rule, and it belongs to Asia. Think about where the Turkic languages are used. From Uyghur to Turkey, they are spoken across Asia. So, Turks are Asian.
@@gianhuh true,but you talk about ancient Turks who has Asian roots, Of course Turks are originally Asian , but culturally most Europian after 600 hundreds years Ottoman..
@HelloBalkans But Turkey also has its Islamic culture. Europeans have a Christian culture and history. That's why Turkey cannot be accepted into the European Union even after 20 years of long negotiations. That is one of the critical reasons Turkey cannot be defined as a European country.
Funny how the westerners want Turkey to be recognised as fully Asian while they themselves consider Cyprus to be European when it's clearly more closer to the Middle-East...xd
As a Dravidian who has lived in Istanbul, Turkey is neither European nor Asian. It's Eurasian. Even though some people of the country says they're Asian, they're really Asian. Because you know Ottomans are the descendants of Seljuk Turks. After conquering West Asia and Balkans, they could've married Greek/Balkanian women and the modern Turkish people could've got the blood of both Asians and Europeans. That's why modern Turks are different from Ottoman Turks. Ottoman Turks are the direct descendants of Seljuks who are Asians while modern Turks have Eurasian descendency.

No need to make things complicated. It's a part of Eurasia. Case closed. It's much more plausible to consider that identifying Indonesians as Asians as being much more questionable. I believe Indonesians are not Asians but Oceanians instead.
Asia, of course; the european side is a colony, Turks are colonizers, they had colonies in Africa way before Europeans, and even colonies in Europe since the XIV century
How can Georgia 🇬🇪 be Europe and Turkey isn’t ? Georgia is more east than Turkey… the only sensible conclusion is that whole of Asia and Europe is the same wide spread interconnected landmass. Eurasia!
Turkey’s population is definitely Asian, Eastern Thrace was mostly populated by Greeks people, and even Anatolia ( Pontic Greeks at the western part on the Black Sea, and Smyrne and Constantinople (that have been Turkised to Istanbul and Izmir)) but because of the en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population exchange between Greece and Turkey after WW2, most of the Anatolian Greeks had to go to the kingdom of Greece (same as the turks that have to leave rumelia) so in my opinion, Turkish people are from Asia and mainly have an Asian culture. However before the arrival of the Turks in Anatolia in 1300, greeks people (from bizantine empire) can be considered as Asian due to most of its population living in the eastern Anatolia (but also in mainland Greece, Egypt for a time with the hellenisation until the Muslim conquests and the balkans.) also culturally speaking, turkey as it is a predominantly Muslim country (except the one heavily influenced by the Ottoman Empire such as Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina) share mostly an asian culture

This video has some falsities. Turkish people never arrived in the Armenian Highlands and Asia Minor until 1,000 AD. This means that Turkey wasnt a nation during the Roman and Macedonian Empires. The actual natives of this land, such as Armenians, had their nation under these 2 empires. Before Turkey was even a nation, the Armenian Empirecreated by Dikran the Great, fought against the Romans. The Armenians lost the war and were taken over by the Romans.
Turkish word does not mean independent it means left behind it is an Assyrian Syriac word it’s not Turkish. Turkish does not have a language of their own. It’s multi dialect of other countries that borrowed from other cultures and countries that invaded throughout the history . turkey it’s not a language it’s multi dialect, into one
Albania, Kososvo and Bosnia suddenly left Europe when you said that. Turkey was a part of the Christendom for hundreds of years, we were at the heart of it. Furthermore, we are NOT a muslim country. WE ARE SECULAR. There are many countries in Europe who's legislation does not follow any religion.

I am turkish and I consider turkey and turkish people both to be eurasians but it all seems so stupidly trivial when europe and asia are actually the same continent and nothing suddenly becomes surprisingly unfamiliar once you cross the borders. People who question turkey's europeanness should serioulsy rethink how they perceive politics, culture in general as well as what ancestry really is. The real question is whether us as the people who live in the same corner of the world would get together and work for a better future for everyone or are we just gonna stick to old ways and antagonize each other with some idiotic bigoted claims. I am surprised all the time by how ignorant an evarage european is about turkey. Literally no one in turkey really expects turkey to be in EU anytime soon but not because you guys wouldnt let us in but bacause we know that the political elite in our country does not want to concede power to supranational organizations.

Eurasia but geographically mostly in asia and culturally mixed between european and asian Turkey is probably the most asian European country and the most european asian country but i think its more asian since historically they're from central/western asia
Albania, Kososvo and Bosnia suddenly left Europe when you said that. Turkey was a part of the Christendom for hundreds of years, we were at the heart of it. Furthermore, we are NOT a muslim country. WE ARE SECULAR. There are many countries in Europe who's legislation does not follow any religion.
turkey is 100% middle eastern country, they are brown, muslim and have better relations with arab countries. also even though istanbul is located on the european continent it is not considered a european city anymore due to culture and race
ARE YOU AN IMBESIL OR UNEDUCATED IGNORANT, OR WHAT SORT OF DRUGS YOU USE AS A DOPE FIEND (METAMPHETAMINE) ? READ SOME EUROPEAN HISTORY, POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY, STUDY SOME STRATEGY. THEN COME UP HERE AGAIN AND LET'S SEE YOU SPEAKING.
turkey they called themselves secular country but the flag of the turkey it shows its Islamic dominant more than secular and lately there’s spreading the ideologies of Islam in Turkey become Islamic dominant which is bad to a lot of original religion of others before Islam. European should be careful with this country. The history shows what happened to the culture and history of others nation it should not be European country.
If Turkey isn't culturally, ethnically nor geographically similar to Europe then shall we just forget about the balkan countries? Turks have extremely a similar language to majority of the balkan states, not to mention the obvious ties with cuisine and general culture and traditions (i.e. the evil eye, woven lace etc). We have had such an immense impact on the southern and Eastern European counties it's crazy. The same can be said vice versa. Hungarians and Turks come from the name ancestors of Gokturks and majority of europeans are considered to have the Anatolian Farmer gene. If by ethnically you are talking about our looks, can you tell the difference between a Turk, Greek and an Italian? It seems not, considering that in recent times Michael Amato who is an Italian has been mistaken as a Turk and given the name "Turkish Quandaledingle". Percentage wise we have more blonde hair, blue eyes people than other southern European countries. If you go as so far to say it's because of religion, then Bosnia, Kosovo and Albania are not European. Besides, Turkey is constitutionally a SECULAR country with democratic and liberal values. We aren't Arab scums. Thank you xx.
@@balcamisis European civilization is based on 3 pillars, Greek Philosophy, Roman laws and Christian morality. None of them are present in Turkey, they belongs to another civilization with Islan as base. Why say that Turkey is not Europe bothes you? Why you need to be called european? Civilizationally you are not.
@@pedroledoux9779 The problem with your argument is that, no, we don't have Islam as a base for our civilisation. Again, and I encourage you to look it up, Turkey is a democratic SECULAR country. Turkey has officially been a secular country since its 1924 constitution was amended in 1928. This was later strengthened and entrenched with the wider appliance of laicism by founder Atatürk during the mid-1930s, as part of the Republican reforms. The current Constitution of 1982 neither recognizes an official religion nor promotes any. The principles of Turkish secularism, and the separation of state and religion, were historically established in order to modernise the nation. This is it, simple as. So by definition, we follow 2/3 of your criteria of a European country, the one that we do not follow is your rule about the Christendom which is because we are an atheist country. If you have a problem about countries in Europe who do not follow christian morals, then you also must have a problem with the muslim majority Balkan countries as well. We obviously follow "greek philosophy and roman laws, " we were at the epicentre of such ethics! Have you forgotten Turkey being the centre piece of both the East Roman and Byzantine empires? We share a deep and close philosophical (and genetic) tie with Greeks as well. I'm sorry but your argument does not stand.
Turkey is a secular country and many of our people are atheist and do not associate themselves with Arab practices. Our constitution forbids connecting legislation and religion. Until 2013, any religious headdress was forbidden outside of the home. Please educate yourself before commenting.
so heres why turkey is not european countire,the people of turkey originate from central asia and sybiria wich is basicly asia,Turkey is 97% in Asia; population-wise: 87%,the big key is capital city wich is Ankara wich is also deep in asian teritory,the other facts are culture and religion wich has nothing to do with europ,they waged wars on europ in atempt to islamase countries some countries where occupied by ottomans for almoust 500 y,i like turkey but turkey will newer be european countrie geographicly culturaly!only politicly,so the same thing goes for russia why is russia european countrie ?they are slavic nation,80% of russain population is in europ part as its capiital Moscow,38 % of land mass of russia is in europ,religiously and culturaly they have alot in common with rest of europ thats why russia is european countrie not assian!!!
Ah okay, according to this nonsense and similar reasons, there could be many continents in the world. The Chinese continent, the Arabian continent, the Indian continent, the Greenland continent, which is more logical than Europe being a continent, the Siberian continent, the Italian continent, etc. I can easily draw boundaries by taking a pen in my hand. European imperialists love it. The biggest reason for this discrimination and denialism is that people living in the European region do not want to be on the same landmass as the rest of the continent. Other reasons are historical hostilities, Christian bigotry, Europeans considering themselves superior to other people, racism, ethnic and cultural differences, Europe seeing itself at the center of the world, etc. The real question is this: If you are not blind, how can you deny this and deceive yourself so easily when you look at the map and see a single piece of land from Portugal to Japan? If you write this geographical lie in geography books for hundreds of years, it should not be difficult to make the people there accept these lies since you have exploited and colonized almost all the continents of the world. If you say Europe has been a continent for hundreds of years, people will eventually accept it.

In my opinion, Turkey is geographically and historically connected with Europe. I mean, it’s historical ruins are representing the European culture (I know, those things weren’t directly built by the Turks but I’m talking about what they have today.) Also it’s climate pretty similar to other Balkanian and South European countries. But in the sense of culture, Turkish culture depends on where you live. If you live in the Western Turkey, it’s possible for you to see modern and liberal Turks, but when you go to the east, it’s being similar to other Asian cultures (But of course we should say that in Eastern Turkey, mostly Kurds live and their culture is more conservative than Turks). In the sense of genetics, well studies say that today Turkey Turks are between 40% to 45% European due to historical migrations from Balkans/Caucasus to Turkey. So I think it’s a uniqe country that includes both west and east but I wouldn’t mind if they join the EU because they are already part of the Europe in lot’s of categories (Sport, Law, Politics, History, Geography, Music, Art, Culture, etc.)
@European Pride Bruh
@European Pride You understand that by claiming so, you also claim the Balkans to be Asian, since majority have Ottoman background.
@European Pride Balkans are for majority either Turkish or have Turkish influence. So now you know it. I am not claiming the Turks to be Europeans from origin, but we are now more adapted to European than Asian. Its just strange that Europe considers Georgia, Russia and Armenia to be European but keeps away a huge landmass exactly in between.
Turks originated from central asia and belong to the turkic ethnic group, 97% of turkey is in asia and shares/similar to most of the culture in the middle east. Europe will never consider turkey European. Turkey is a asian/middle eastern country. I say this as a turk
@European Pride they arent native but word turk isnt even ethnicity. In ottoman we mixed with whole balkans, armenians, georgians, arabs, kurds etc. And believe me most turks are genetically half european. Nowadays turkey turk is more like a word for todays anatolian person. And there was and there is A LOT OF europeans in anatolia.

Eurasia 🙌🏻
Half of Turkiye is in Europe, the other half is in Asia. It is exactly in Eurasia and neighbors with 3 regions. (Balkans, Middle East and Caucasus) The Bosphorus was formed later geologically. In other words, before the Bosphorus was formed, the northwest of Anatolia and Europe were not separate. On the other hand, some people say that Turks are not ethnically and culturally European. Today, the concept of Europeanness is based on Christianity, but Christianity is not a European religion. The real Europeans are the Greeks and the Latins in Italy. Because they established the European civilization. The Romans described people of Germanic and Celtic origin as uncivilized barbarians. People of Germanic and Celtic origin later became Europeans thanks to the Romans. No other people are European except the Greeks and the Latins (in Italy).

Europe is not limited to Western Europe and Turkey is not the only Turkic country with Ural-Alta roots in the European continent. It is also not the only Muslim country in Europe. In the continent of Europe, in addition to Turkey, parts of the territory of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, all the territories of the Republics of Tatarstan, Bashkiria, Chuvashstan, Kumyk-Balkar, Karachay-Cherkess, the Crimean Peninsula are of Turkish origin, and the countries of Hungary, Finland and Estonia are of the origin of the Ural Altai and the countries of Kosovo. , Bosnia, Albania, Chechnya, Dagestan and... Muslim. So Europe does not belong only to Western European countries
As a Turk living on the Anatolian side of Turkey, I say that in most parts of Anatolia the lifestyle is almost the same as in most Turkic countries, there is little difference in terms of language and culture, among the commentators there are those who say: Turks are culturally European.😀
Had Christianity be a more dominant religion in the region, Turkey had long been accepted in the European Union.
For west, Christianity is the religion of whites, Muslims live in middle East, Hindus occupy India while China and Russia are communist (a new religion).
And black is totally new religion.
That's right. That is why the religious and dictatorial Turkish government has turned its head towards the Middle East. But the Turkish people are not from the Middle East. Culturally and genetically they are much closer to Europe. When the government changes, it would not be so difficult for Turkey to join the European Union if the issue is not reduced to religious discrimination.

As a Dravidian who has lived in Istanbul, Turkey is neither European nor Asian. It's Eurasian. Even though some people of the country says they're Asian, they're really Asian. Because you know Ottomans are the descendants of Seljuk Turks. After conquering West Asia and Balkans, they could've married Greek/Balkanian women and the modern Turkish people could've got the blood of both Asians and Europeans. That's why modern Turks are different from Ottoman Turks. Ottoman Turks are the direct descendants of Seljuks who are Asians while modern Turks have Eurasian descendency.

Staying turkey in Europe is like saying Egypt is Asian because they are both tiny land on other Continents in case Turkey is more culturally Asian like Egyptian people call themselves Arab than African

No need to make things complicated. It's a part of Eurasia. Case closed. It's much more plausible to consider that identifying Indonesians as Asians as being much more questionable.

How can Georgia 🇬🇪 be Europe and Turkey isn’t ? Georgia is more east than Turkey… the only sensible conclusion is that whole of Asia and Europe is the same wide spread interconnected landmass. Eurasia!
Turkey’s population is definitely Asian, Eastern Thrace was mostly populated by Greeks people, and even Anatolia ( Pontic Greeks at the western part on the Black Sea, and Smyrne and Constantinople (that have been Turkised to Istanbul and Izmir)) but because of the en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population exchange between Greece and Turkey after WW2, most of the Anatolian Greeks had to go to the kingdom of Greece (same as the turks that have to leave rumelia) so in my opinion, Turkish people are from Asia and mainly have an Asian culture. However before the arrival of the Turks in Anatolia in 1300, greeks people (from bizantine empire) can be considered as Asian due to most of its population living in the eastern Anatolia (but also in mainland Greece, Egypt for a time with the hellenisation until the Muslim conquests and the balkans.) also culturally speaking, turkey as it is a predominantly Muslim country (except the one heavily influenced by the Ottoman Empire such as Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina) share mostly an asian culture

The borders of Europe are the mountains in Russia, so Turkey is also included, but Europe does not accept Turkey because it does not like it.
This video has some falsities. Turkish people never arrived in the Armenian Highlands and Asia Minor until 1,000 AD. This means that Turkey wasnt a nation during the Roman and Macedonian Empires. The actual natives of this land, such as Armenians, had their nation under these 2 empires. Before Turkey was even a nation, the Armenian Empirecreated by Dikran the Great, fought against the Romans. The Armenians lost the war and were taken over by the Romans.
Turkish word does not mean independent it means left behind it is an Assyrian Syriac word it’s not Turkish. Turkish does not have a language of their own. It’s multi dialect of other countries that borrowed from other cultures and countries that invaded throughout the history . turkey it’s not a language it’s multi dialect, into one

EU is not a union of smurfs coming together and deciding who gets to join accorringly to their europeanness guys... it is super naive to think that tbh. I am turkish and I consider turkey and turkish people both to be eurasians but it all seems so stupidly trivial when europe and asia are actually the same continent and nothing suddenly becomes surprisingly unfamiliar once you cross the borders. People who question turkey's europeanness should serioulsy rethink how they perceive politics, culture in general as well as what ancestry really is. The real question is whether us as the people who live in the same corner of the world would get together and work for a better future for everyone or are we just gonna stick to old ways and antagonize each other with some idiotic bigoted claims. I am surprised all the time by how ignorant an evarage european is about turkey. Literally no one in turkey really expects turkey to be in EU anytime soon but not because you guys wouldnt let us in but bacause we know that the political elite in our country does not want to concede power to supranational organizations.

Turkiye is a mosaic and melting down point of Eurasian cultures. Through the states Turks have established folks on those lands have mixed with each other.

@@pedroledoux9779 The problem with your argument is that, no, we don't have Islam as a base for our civilisation. Again, and I encourage you to look it up, Turkey is a democratic SECULAR country. Turkey has officially been a secular country since its 1924 constitution was amended in 1928. This was later strengthened and entrenched with the wider appliance of laicism by founder Atatürk during the mid-1930s, as part of the Republican reforms. The current Constitution of 1982 neither recognizes an official religion nor promotes any. The principles of Turkish secularism, and the separation of state and religion, were historically established in order to modernise the nation. This is it, simple as. So by definition, we follow 2/3 of your criteria of a European country, the one that we do not follow is your rule about the Christendom which is because we are an atheist country. If you have a problem about countries in Europe who do not follow christian morals, then you also must have a problem with the muslim majority Balkan countries as well. We obviously follow "greek philosophy and roman laws, " we were at the epicentre of such ethics! Have you forgotten Turkey being the centre piece of both the East Roman and Byzantine empires? We share a deep and close philosophical (and genetic) tie with Greeks as well. I'm sorry but your argument does not stand.

Ah okay, according to this nonsense and similar reasons, there could be many continents in the world. The Chinese continent, the Arabian continent, the Indian continent, the Greenland continent, which is more logical than Europe being a continent, the Siberian continent, the Italian continent, etc. I can easily draw boundaries by taking a pen in my hand. European imperialists love it. The biggest reason for this discrimination and denialism is that people living in the European region do not want to be on the same landmass as the rest of the continent. Other reasons are historical hostilities, Christian bigotry, Europeans considering themselves superior to other people, racism, ethnic and cultural differences, Europe seeing itself at the center of the world, etc. The real question is this: If you are not blind, how can you deny this and deceive yourself so easily when you look at the map and see a single piece of land from Portugal to Japan? If you write this geographical lie in geography books for hundreds of years, it should not be difficult to make the people there accept these lies since you have exploited and colonized almost all the continents of the world. If you say Europe has been a continent for hundreds of years, people will eventually accept it.
