Why is Europe not part of Asia?

Answer 1

The EU is the name of an organisation. It is not a country or continent, so Asia and an organisation cannot be considered to be a continent. You are thinking of Europe. Together Europe and Asia form the landmass known as Eurasia, but it is divided by the mountain range called the Urals and some other geographical features, to form two continents. So they are two continents.

Answer 2

Because the start of civilization was there. Mesopotamia was in Europe, so people were starting their lives there.

Answer 3

Answer 4

The difference between Europe and Asia is not geographical, but cultural. Europe's culture is so different from that of Asia that they are classified as different continents.

Answer 5

Because they are two separate continents. Sometimes the combined land area is known as Eurasia, but Eurasia is not a continent.
