Why are so many European languages so similar?

European languages tend to seem similar because the vast majority come from the Indo-European language family. More than that, Western European languages are almost exclusively Romance or Germanic languages--Eastern European languages are more diverse, some are Slavic, some are from the Uralic language family and completely different from the Indo-European languages. Europe therefore has a lot of languages that use the same alphabet and are closely related to each other--not to mention the amount of borrowing that went on between languages over the centuries.
