Why is Europe referred to as western and eastern Europe?
Europe is referred to as Europe. As with any continent there are various geographical regions, so that is one way that the term Eastern Europe and Western Europe arises. More commonly it comes from the political aspect, from when countries in the east of Europe were communist and countries in the west of Europe were democracies. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and communism, that is no longer the case, but countries in that part of Europe are still referred to as being in Eastern Europe. So it is both a geographical and political term.
