Yes, Europe is in the Northern Hemisphere.

The United States is physically closer to Russia, with a small border over the Bering Strait. The closest point of the United States to Japan is between the lower Japanese Islands (near Sengaku) and the Northern Marianas Island Territory of the United States at over 1000 miles.

However, in terms of policy coordination, trade agreements, and alliances, Japan and the USA are much closer than Russia and the USA, especially given their mutual Cold War histories.

Geography significantly influenced medieval society in Europe by determining settlement patterns, trade routes, and defensive strategies. The presence of mountains, rivers, and fertile plains affected agricultural productivity and the distribution of resources, leading to varying economic systems across regions. Coastal areas facilitated trade and cultural exchange, while isolated regions often developed distinct identities. Additionally, geographical barriers like mountains and forests contributed to the fragmentation of political power, resulting in the emergence of feudalism and localized governance.

Italy, France, and Spain are three countries that are found in Europe.

Here are just a couple of European capitals and some facts on them. Feel free to add to the list with additional capitals and/or facts.

London, United Kingdom:

- second largest city in Europe

- heart of the Industrial Revolution in the UK

- also the capital of England, an autonomous country in the UK

Paris, France:

- most visited city in the world

- one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world

- named after the Gallic tribe, Parisii

Athens, Greece:

- oldest city in Europe

- was the heart of Ancient Greece

- is where democracy originated from

Industrialisation had brought about economic power, naval power (the most important merchant fleet belonged - for instance - to Britain), social reforms which meant a better education manpower and a somewhat longer life expectancy - and the capacity to invest heavily in one's army and navy.

Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark.

Nordic countries are basically Scandinavian countries with their outreach. Iceland and Finland are sometimes falsely labeled as Scandinavian, but this is not true. They are thought to be so because they have a long history with Scandinavia and have large populations of Scandinavians, as well as having Scandinavian languages (Icelandic and Swedish).

Europe is considered a region because it shares a geographic area, as well as common ethnic origins of its people.

The dominate languages in Southern Europe include:

Italian: ~65,000,000

Spanish: ~50,000,000

Romania: ~25,000,000

Other widely spoken languages include French, Portuguese, Greek, Turkish, and Serbian.

Portugal.

East Timor was known as Portuguese Timor since it's colonisation by the Dutch in the 16 century. It was 'decolonised' in 1975 after a revolution in Portugal in 1974. Independence was unilaterally declared (ahead of planned elections) by FRETILIN on 28 November 1975, after an 'alleged' civil war between UDT and FRETILIN. The reality was, the hastened process of declaring themselves an independent country was an attempt to avoid a planned invasion of East Timor by Indonesia, it was thought that The UN would 'protect' the status of that newly formed 'independent state'. In December 1975, the independent country of East Timor was invaded and colonised by Indonesia, the UN declared it an illegal act, but nothing was done to help by any other country. The country remained under the yolk of Indonesian control for almost 25 years, until a belated UN sponsored 'ballot' in 1999. This was to finally decide the status of 'Timor Timur' (the Indonesian name for Timor 'east'), it was thought by Indonesia that this would formally integrate East Timor as the 27th province of Indonesia. They were so very wrong, the overwhelming majority of the population of East Timor did NOT vote for integration, they finally got to have their say, and voted for independence.
