From a geographical point of view, Europe isn't a continent at all without the (far greater) Asian part and all too often the question arises: where does Europe start and where does it end? As a space open towards all inhabited areas of the world, Europe was the place where for centuries the most different cultures met each other, mixed, and waged wars. A society characterised by peaceful co-existence and harsh conflicts was forged, where religion, culture, ethnic groups, ideology, race and mentality created differences between the peoples.
