Best Answer

There is no true explanation as to why the peninsula formed in Europe other than erosion and change in sea levels over time. The name, however, can be explained simply by the location of the peninsula. The peninsula is occupied by the country of Italy and many refer to it as the Italian Peninsula, although another name for this peninsula may be the Apennine Peninsula.
