 New Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Europe is a rhetorical term used by conservative political analysts in the United States to describe European post-Communist countries.
"New European" countries were most of all distinguished by their governments' support of the 2003 war in Iraq, as opposed to an "Old Europe" noted as unsupportive of the war.
However New Europe countries didn't experience protests on the scale seen in Old Europe, or anti-americanism, neither was the support for operation in Iraq a major issue in internal politics.

Western Europe rebuilt its economy because U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall proposed a plan of unprecedented financial assistance, and the plan was intelligently implemented.
Western Europe became a place of social planning, nationalized economies, and strong states not because democratic socialism was in the Continental genes but because there were no reserves of private capital and few viable non-governmental institutions around to put the world back together again.

 Old Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In January 2003 the term Old Europe surfaced after the U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld used it to refer to European countries that did not support the 2003 invasion of Iraq, most notably France and Germany.
In contrast to Rumsfeld's usage of "Old Europe", the term New Europe (and neues Europa) also appeared, reflecting either the European states that supported the war, the newly accepted to the EU Central European states, or a new economically and technologically dynamic and liberal Europe, often including the United Kingdom.
However several Eastern European countries considered as New Europe tend to have an older population profile due to plunging birth rates, little immigration and the exodus of younger adults to work in Western Europe.
