Hey Africa at least has its own tectonic plate.
what if it's the same plate but there's just a big gap in it
If we're gonna go by head of state ancestry, all european monarchies are germany
This is my logic in blaming Germans for all the world's evils
Considering that german immigrants formed the core of the yankee "proletariat", were instrumental in settling the frontier and were the ones who introduced the "burger" to the burgerreich I think there are plenty of reasons.
Charlemagne and his consequences
It only means that the Russian nobility was related to the European one.
In my opinion, "is country X European" is an ill defined question. Spain has been under Islamic domination for 781 years. Greece has been under Ottoman domination for about 400 years. Should we consider Spain and Greece European? On which criteria? What about Turkey?
Let's get back to Russia. Dostoevsky is considered a very important European writer. St Petersburg is a city mixing all European architecture styles. But about 7.0 to 7.5% of the Russian population belongs to ethnic groups traditionally associated with Turkic languages. The two most significant oil-producing republics in Russia, Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, are both historical homelands of Turkic-speaking Tatars and Bashkirs.
“Europe” is a cultural and historical label more than a coherent civilizational unit, and the countries grouped under it often differ profoundly from one another, sometimes as much as, or more than, they differ from non-European countries.
