Is Europe the West?

Europe is located in the northwest of the old hemisphere, bordering the Arctic Ocean in the north, the Atlantic Ocean in the west, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea in the south. The mainland is east to the polar Ural Mountains (6610' east longitude and 67 46' north latitude), south to Cape Maroqi (5 36 minutes west longitude and 36 degrees north latitude), west to Cape Rocca (9 31'west longitude and 38 47' north latitude), and north to Nuo.

Western countries refer to the United States, Western Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries.

Because most of these countries are concentrated in Europe and America, they are sometimes called "European and American countries".

The west refers to the capital market economy in economy, democracy in politics and Christian areas in system and culture.

At first, the west was just a geographical concept, but now its cultural concept is becoming clearer and clearer.
