    Where Are The Asian Borders? (Part 2: Europe)
    Asia is the largest and most populous continent in the world. From the physical extremes to the cultural, it's a continent that has shown tremendous diversity from one end to the other. But what exactly counts as Asia? Where are the Asian borders?
    This video is part two of a three part series.
    In part one, we covered the specific Asian borders following the coastal regions from the Tumen River between North Korea & Russia to the Suez Canal in Egypt. In between, we went over Japan's Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands, the Malay Archipelago, Indonesia's border with Papua New Guinea, the Wallace Line, the Weber Line, Asian continental shelf, the Middle East, Yemen's Socotra Archipelago, Afro-Eurasia and Egypt's border.
    In part two, we cover the most controversial Asian border section of Europe starting from Egypt, through Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Russia. We end on the eastern side of Russia (Siberia) bordering North America, which is where part three will commence.
    Many feel Asian and Europe shouldn't have been separate continents to start with, as there isn't a clear physical geographical divide between the two. In fact, a few countries teach the continent of Eurasia as a result. This made this video particularly challenging as nothing is definitive and is all open to interpretation.

      Turkey isn't European or Asian, it's continental status is super disputed.
      If you ask to a European, they will say it is Asia. But if you ask to an African or an Asian, they will most likely tell that it is in Europe. There are good reasons. Despite Turkey being pretty westernized compared to its Asian counterparts, it still falls behind Western Europe. I am Turkish myself and I asked a Greek, a Macedonian and a Kosovar (or Albanian, ethnicities...) this question, and they ALL said it is European. The answer is: Depends on how you see Turkey. Do you see just a European country that fell behind, or a westernized Asian country that is just not accepted by Western Europe.

    Let me summarize the Russian-Asian or European thing.
    Russia is considered European. Since the language is Slavic. 'Europe' Russia is more populated and habitable than Siberia/Asia Russia.
    Sure 77% of Russia is in Asia. But only about 27% of the population of Russia are in Siberia. (including Immigrants) So yeah. Russian people are considered to be European.

      Talking about Russia in Europe is thought to be part of Asia. No matter what the Russians look like. Ethnicity does not matter. (no one calls Americans Europeans). Culturally, mentally and politically it is a completely different country. The same goes for turkey (although I don't know why anyone would call them Europeans since even geographically they are almost completely outside of Europe.

    • @cocoapuff_x
      @cocoapuff_x 4 года назад +2

      Russia, politically and culturally, is most similar to Eastern Europe. People don’t call Americans Europeans because there’s too many ethnicities and races here to collectively call them as European. Turkey is different though. Its culture is closer to the Middle East in my opinion.

    • @cocoapuff_x
      @cocoapuff_x 4 года назад +2

For me i think the most debatable borders are ones involving Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia...:) Anyway,sorry for the long comment!Much love from Greece!Keep the videos coming Kento!

      Kento Bento, to your previous video: Africa is the mother of humanity. Around 500,000 years ago a group of people left Africa to Eurasia, who scientists now call Neanderthals. The ones in Europe developed light skin, light hair and light eyes due to climate. In Asia people developed a bit differently, because of its climate, this should explain how ASIAN people got the "squinty" eyes, as you call it, they had a gene for it, since there are people in Africa with these eyes to this day. Then 30,000 years ago second wave of people from Africa went to Europe, called Cro-Magnons, they bred within Eurasia to Neanderthals, which caused their extinction. This is why 1-2% Neanderthal gene within Eurasians. To go further, in actuality, now days Africans have pure Homo sapiens blood, while people with light skin are mixed. (BUT, how mixed are we? If Neanderthals too were black once and are rovers from Africa.) Basically we are all one people ;)

    Asia and Europe are obviously one continent geographical continent but they're divided because of ethnicity (Caucasian and 'the rest'. For this reason, to be consistent it should be either one or 6 continents (Europe, Middle east, Central Asia, Subcontinent, east Asia and south east Asia). There's no reason to cut by the Ural mountains but not the Himalayas. Continents are arbitrary division anyway.

    Then, it hooks onto the Sumqait river, along the Caspian Sea, and then up the Ural.
    It seems to make more sense, because it considers cultural and geopolitical lines, while maintaining an unchanged physical boundary.

      Well that Turkey thing... I want to explain it because I want to end the thought "Turkey is Asian!!!!"
      If you ask to a European, they will say it is Asia. But if you ask to an African or an Asian, they will most likely tell that it is in Europe. There are good reasons. Despite Turkey being pretty westernized compared to its Asian counterparts, it still falls behind Western Europe. I am Turkish myself and I asked a Greek, a Macedonian and a Kosovar (or Albanian, ethnicities...) this question, and they ALL said it is European. The answer is: Depends on how you see Turkey. Do you see just a European country that fell behind, or a westernized Asian country that is just not accepted by Western Europe.
