Western and eastern Europe differ in a lot of ways, from climate to religion and politics.
Western Europe is warmer. It has predominantly Latin and Germanic languages, with Christian religions: Roman Catholic in the south and protestant in the north. It also has democratic political stability and it's where most of Europe's richest countries are.
Eastern Europe is colder, with predominantly Slavic languages, although Romania has a Latin-language and Greek has it's own origin. The predominant religion is Christian, with some Roman Catholic regions in the center, protestant in the north, and Orthodox in the east. Islam is also substantially represented in the south and east. The region is less politically stable than Western Europe, with conflicts in Kosovo, Dictatorship in Belarus and border controversies between Georgia and Russia, among other issues.
