Europe

Europe was a continent on Earth, linked to Asia and seperated from Africa by a inland sea.

Europe was mostly continental, though it had significant island inhabitation as well.

Geography
Europe had a temperate to cold climate suitable for humans. Like the rest of the world, Europe also experienced several Ice Ages from the distant past to even the year 5000. (DW: The Ice Warriors, The Talons of Weng-Chiang)

Famous natural beauties in Europe include the Switza, the Rhine, the Danube, and the Black Forest. (MA: Managra)

Politics
Europe was also home to many early Earth empires. These include the Roman Empire, the French Empire, the British Empire, and the Soviet Union.

Europe was involved in both World War I and World War II, both events being inadvertantly caused by the Nemesis statue passing above Earth. (DW: Silver Nemesis) Events in the wars include:


 * The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 which helped spark the Great War.
 * Adolf Hitler annexed Austria in 1938 to the German Reich.
 * D-Day occurs and the Allies win World War II in 1945.

During the later 21st century, after other wars had been fought, most of Europe was reorganized into the Eurozone and was left only to fight with the United States of America. (EDA: Trading Futures)

This may be the same as the European Zone, one of four zones (the other three being Central Asian, Arctic and Central European) run by the World Zones Organisation. (DW: The Enemy of the World)

By 2118, both Europe (whether it was no longer the "Eurozone" or not is unknown) and America used Africa to grow food for their populations. (NSA: The Art of Destruction)

In 12005, Europe may have been the home of the New Roman Empire. (DW: The End of the World)

In 200,100 Europe and North Africa was known as Europa. This area was depopulated by the Daleks when they attacked Earth. (DW: The Parting of the Ways)
