it’s just asia. europe’s just a subregion in the northwest of asia.
Europe and India are Asian subcontinents. The only reason Europe is considered a full continent is white people made the definitions.
they made the definitions before they’d invented white people though. IIRC this nomenclature comes from the ancient greeks. it’s very ancient european cope.
the names and boundaries of continents are arbitrary and don’t matter. that said, the most common definition, really more of a vibe, of a continent is size. Europe is 3 times larger than India. It’s twice as large as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and Afghanistan combined.
I was under the impression that continent boundaries were defined by tectonic plates. Is that not correct?
There’s way more tectonic plates than continents and a lot of landmasses we think of as contiguous are on different plates. Itd be very impractical to try to make them the same. Iceland would be a transcontinental country, California would be its own continent, Asia would be several continents, there would be continents that are just patches of the Pacific Ocean or the Caribbean, and so on
The European subcontinent.

Afroeurasia is a continent. The only thing separating Africa from Asia is the Suez canal which is manmade.
Same goes for the Americas - the Panama canal is manmade.
Pangaea is the only continent!

Why stop there? After we rule 85% of the world’s land area to belong to just one continent, why split the remaining 15% of Earth’s land in two? That seems awfully imbalanced to me. So I rule that we should just merge Oceania and Antarctica together into the great continent of “Antherest” — after all, the Maori were quite likely the first people to discover Antarctica; Antarctica itself is just an archipelago with the appearance of a contiguous landmass due to its ice (which might not last); and there aren’t really any people on Antarctica to object to being merged with Oceania.
It’s a bit offensive to associate Asia, such a wonderful continent with those barbaric savages in its western peninsula.
Actually it’s Afro-Eurasia.
West Asian Peninsula
it’s europe when it’s not attached. when moored, it’s euline
