Eastern Europe

Eastern Europe is the eastern half of the European continent which had been aligned with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It is made up primarily of Slavic Countries, Hungary, and the Baltic States. The post-Soviet transition for democracy has been successful in some Eastern European States, but more difficult in those closer to Russia.

What are the major water forms in western Europe?

Asked by Wiki User

To the West we have the Atlantic Ocean, from Iceland down to Africa.

To the North the water is divided by Denmark we have the North Sea (sometimes called the German Sea) which is between Britain, Norway and Germany/Holland/Denmark. Then to the East of Denmark separating Sweden and Finland from Germany and the Baltic Republics (Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania) and Russia there is the Baltic Sea.

On the South of Europe the Mediterranean Sea (Middle of the Earth Sea!) separates Europe from Africa.

To the East side of the Balkans separating Turkey in the south from Russia/Ukraine in the north with the Balkans on it's West side and the Caucasus region on the East there is the Black Sea.

There are then some smaller areas of water that have separate names.

In the Mediterranean around Italy the areas have there own names (the Roman Empire named them!) between Italy and the west of the Balkans there is the Adriatic Sea. Between Italy and Sardinia and Corsica the is the Tyrrhenian Sea and south of Italy and around all the Greek Islands there is the Ionian Sea. All three of these are parts of the Mediterranean.

Between the Island of Great Britain and the Island of Ireland is the Irish Sea which is sometimes considered part of the Atlantic.

Joining the Black Sea to the Mediterranean there is a narrow area called the Bosphorus which separates the Balkans and European Turkey from Asia Minor (and the rest of Turkey!) and contains the small Sea of Marmara.

Is Finland in eastern Europe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Western Europe.

Eastern Europe is used to denote those countries that fell under the influence, or were part of the Soviet Union after the second world war. Finland managed to keep its independence, and is thus considered part of western Europe.

Though i would like to note that the boundaries of eastern and western Europe have started to fade.

Finland is in Western Europe, it is a border country of Eastern and Western.
