Haha. I saw this in my homework. Well it is simple. The west is more rich because the countries in eastern Europe used to be communist, and the leaders of the eastern European countries still have communist.
Yes it is called being Exiled, it is very uncommon practice nowadays. However it is still practiced in middle east countries and eastern European countries. Rarely though.
Yes. Certain countries such as Russia, Ukraine, and a few eastern European countries still have companies that have mail order brides while some have made it impossible, often making it illegal to be a mail order bride.
Europe is referred to as Europe. As with any continent there are various geographical regions, so that is one way that the term Eastern Europe and Western Europe arises. More commonly it comes from the political aspect, from when countries in the east of Europe were communist and countries in the west of Europe were democracies. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and communism, that is no longer the case, but countries in that part of Europe are still referred to as being in Eastern Europe. So it is both a geographical and political term.
Colonization had stopped by the 1940's for all sides. Some countries still held onto colonies, but did not colonize new places.
There are 15 countries considered as democracies. Cuba is not one of them. While the people are very evident on matters, the country still remains somewhat of a dictatorship.
Europe had just finished with a horrific war and they were still recovering from it during the 1930's. The European democracies wanted to avoid another great war, and so they didn't interfere with Italy's and Germany's aggressions until they felt it was absolutely necessary.
All European countries are in Europe. What you probably meant is two European countries that are not members of the European Union. There are many of them. For example: Albania and Norway are not members of the European Union, but they are European countries. Europe is a continent and the European Union is an organisation.There are European countries whose borders extend from Europe into Asia, Turkey and Russia for instance, but they are still classed as European.
The specific type of Christianity practiced by the eastern half of the Roman Empire was known as Eastern Orthodox Christianity. It developed its own distinct traditions and teachings separate from Western Christianity, eventually leading to the Great Schism of 1054 that permanently divided the Eastern and Western branches of Christianity. Eastern Orthodox Christianity is still practiced today, primarily in countries such as Russia, Greece, and Eastern European countries.
Most countries in the European Union use the Euro, while some of them still use their own currencies.
