What is the most densely populated continent?
Asia by a big margin, about 60% of the world's population.
The most densely populated continent is currently Europe.
(In 2000, Asia accounted for 58% of the world's population total, but not density.)
Answer
Population Density of all the continents are as follows,
Asia - 203 people per square mile
Europe - 134 people per square mile
South America - 73 people per square mile
Africa - 65 people per square mile
North America - 32 people per square mile
Australia - 6.4 people per square mile.
The population density of the planet (including all land area) is about 105 people per square mile. If Antarctica is eliminated (since it has zero population density), the world population density rises only to 115 people per square mile.
How many independent countries make up europe?
There are 195 or 196 countries in the world today. (Latest addition is South Sudan.)
There are several other parts of existing countries that have declared their autonomy, but have not been recognized by the UN or a large number of the world's countries. There are 193 members of the United Nations, while Kosovo and Vatican City are not members.
*Taiwan is not considered an official country by many, which would bring the count down to 195 countries. Although Taiwan operates as an independent country, many countries (including the US) do not "officially" recognize it as one. Because the People's Republic of China considers Taiwan a breakaway province of China, countries who wish to maintain diplomatic relations with China have had to sever their formal relations with Taiwan (more than 100 countries, however, have unofficial relations with Taiwan).

What resulted from the rise of nationalism in Europe?
I believe Nationalism,which is a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations, had the most impact on history of any of the eras. One reason is that Nationalism led to Militarism and the belief that a nation needs a powerful standing army to protect itself from outside attack. The countries, especially the lesser ones, began to fear invasion from their neighbors, with good reason in reflection to Napoleon's reign. This fear led to an alliance system within Europe to insure protection. This alliance system would later play an enormous role in WW1 and WW2. Another reason is that Nationalism was the start of independence and revolutions. During the French Revolution, Nationalists came to believe that each nationality should have its own government which sparked revolutions across all of Europe transforming the countries of the continent. Some new countries, such as Germany and Italy were formed by uniting smaller states with a common "national identity". Others, such as Romania, Greece, Poland, and Bulgaria, were formed by winning their independence.

What did the countries use before the euro?
Different countries that now use the Euro had their own currencies before it came in. So it would depend on what countries were being asked about. For example France had the Franc, Spain had the Peseta and Greece had the Drachma. Other countries had their own currencies too.
How did the discovery of the New World influence population growth in Europe and Asia and Africa?
At first it didn't. Spanish colonies tended to be men seeking advancement and the women stayed behind, and so they didn't have families in Europe for the most part. The lucky few who struck it rich and went home did of course. The big event in Spain in 1492 was the final defeat of the caliphate of Cordoba, and the end of a generation of war. This would be a better explanation for subsequent population increases than the early colonial efforts in the new world. At the time several plagues were believed to have been brought back from the new world, including syphilis. Much later the population was limited by periodic famine (starvation events) and adoption of the potato as a staple crop increased the available food supply, and the population. The potato was not widely cultivated in Europe until the 1700s.
