	Western Europe Travel Guide by Hostelbookers
		However, Western Europe could never be described as living in the past.
		Travelling around Western Europe is now easier than it ever was, thanks to the ever-expanding European Union, which is breaking down borders for travellers and companies alike, meaning that there will usually be familiar icons no matter where you go.
		Western Europe can offer almost everything a traveller could want and while it is perhaps one of the more expensive parts of the world, there are many areas where travellers can find bargains and spend a comfortable holiday without having to break the bank.

	THE SHAPING OF WESTERN EUROPE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		With the failure of the Eastern Romans to hold onto the reconquests of the Emperor Justinian (527-565), Western Europe was left relatively isolated at the far western end of the belt of civilizations.
		Western Europe had, by now, more than recovered the wealth and population it had lost with the Germanic invasions and the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West, and it had done so largely with its own resources.
		Europe was reaching the status of an advanced civilization, and was doing so without relying on the labor of masses of slaves, without the direction and coordination of a central government, and without infusions of foreign capital either through trade or conquest.

	Western Europe
		The climate of Western Europe is a marine climate. Its abundant moisture comes from the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean moderates the temperature during the seasons, making the winter moist and mild, and the summer moist and cool. This influence can also be called the North Atlantic Drift.
		Western European climates tend to be noticeably milder than their latitudinal equivalents in North America because: A. Eurasia is a larger continent; B. Western Europe is closer to the North Pole; C. of the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf stream; D. there are no high mountains in Western Europe.
		As a result of their central location, the nations of Western Europe: A. enjoy relatively easy potential for contact with most of the inhabited world and its resources; B. tend to be very large by world standards; C. are assured of easy markets for whatever they can produce; D. dominate decision-making at World conferences.

		The Soviet Union's relations with Western Europe following World War II were colored heavily by Soviet relations with Eastern Europe and by the Warsaw Pact forces arrayed in Europe against NATO forces.
		The Soviet influence over Eastern Europe, punctuated by the 1956 invasion of Hungary and the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia and by a constant buildup of conventional and nuclear forces, prompted West European NATO member nations to reinforce their defenses and discouraged direct relations between those nations and the Soviet Union.
		The more general aim was to make Western Europe as similar as possible to the Soviet Union's highly advanced northwestern neighbor, Finland: a neutral buffer zone whose political reactions could be anticipated under any circumstances, and which would refrain from commitments to Western nations.
