Encyclopedia: Western Europe

Western Europe is mainly a socio-political concept coined and forged during the Cold War, which largely defined its borders. Its boundaries were effectively forged during the final stages of World War II and came to encompass all European countries which were not occupied by the Soviet army and subsequently did not fall under control of Communist regimes. Its borders have little to do with clear and precise geography or culture. In popular perception and usage, Western Europe was and still is, to a much lesser extent, distinguished from Eastern Europe by differences of politics and economics. Boundaries between these two regions are subject to considerable overlap and – most importantly – historical fluctuation, which makes an precise understanding somewhat difficult.
