  Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Europe is one of the seven traditional continents of Earth; the term continent here referring to a cultural and political distinction, rather than a physiographic one, thus leading to various perspectives about Europe's precise borders.
Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and – according to the traditional geographic definition – to the south-east by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains (in Caucasia).
Geographically, Europe is a subcontinent in the western portion of the larger continent known as Eurasia.

 Strategic Choices in the Mediterranean: EUROPE, THE MEDITERRANEAN, AND THE MIDDLE EAST   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
THE U.S. One reason the United States overlooked Europe’s role in the Mediterranean area was a strategic perspective which saw the place mainly as a transit zone through which U.S. forces and commerce moved elsewhere.
This image of the Mediterranean world is traceable, at least, to the Greek-Persian Wars of the fifth century BCE, but etched more strongly by the legacies of the expansion of the Islamic faith into the Iberian peninsula, the impact of the Crusades, and the efforts of the Ottoman Turks to expand into central Europe.
Because of Europe’s geographic proximity, historical ties, commercial relations, fears of Islamic extremism, and jealousy of a larger U.S. role, it sometimes disagrees with the United States on issues of Middle Eastern policy.
