How is Europe its own continent? "I cannot conceive why

>>2439596
It isn't. It's at best a subcontinent like India. We just refer to it as its own thing for tradition's sake, and because it's so different from the rest of the continent, like how India is sometimes separated from the rest of Asia for the same reasons.

history reasons
religious reasons
cultural reasons
literally no reasons to be bothered by it outside of contrarianism

Because culture is part of geography. Hurr durr why two continents in America, hurr durr why Greenland not a continent but Australia is and so forth and so on.

All more important than mere geography too.

It shouldn't be

Continents are arbitrary jurisdictions. "Eurasia" is the continent in a geological sense.

>>2439631

Because Greenland is an island.

You fail to realize continents are exclusively a historical continent. The whole world can't even agree on how many there is. The (((anglo)))-Sphere considers the America's to be two while the rest of the world considers them to be one.

Europe is 100% worthy to be considered a distinct place from the rest of Eurasia.

>>2440173
This. A bunch of despotic mantlets conforming to whatever.

>>2440114
SA isn't it's own continent, North central and south america are subcontinents.

Because it's a geographical term, not a geological one.

Just check out wikipedia, it's smarter than us.

>Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents.

Sure, a subcontinent of Asia.

This is why you have blacks believing that they were Egyptians.

Whites manipulated the historical record to the extent that literally everything positive was the product of white people. They were the ones doing the initial research and the history, transcribing ancient texts and sorting out what's happened in the past. They wrote the history books. So once it got out that they were full of shit in like the fifties then nonwhite people started wondering what else have they lied about?

Europe is nothing more than a peninsula of Asia. But being the unmitigated egomaniacs that they are, the Europeans set up a eurocentric view to where Europe would be its own continent separate from Asia. Never content to take the Lesser position, they always had to be on top. It was inconceivable to them that Europe could not be its own thing.

Well duh. That was never the intent with the Mercator projection. Maps before had been more accurate in portraying the size of continents, but they were also incredibly impractical when trying to plan out shipping routes. With the Mercator projection it's a simple matter of drawing a straight line from point A to point B to get the exact route you need to take.

Eurasia is a supercontinent as North America is a subcontinent. You Anglos just think about it for a second: NORTH America is literally the northern subdivision of America and Eurasia is the merging of Europe and Asia.
Most English speakers, specially Americans (as in USA Americans) will probably disagree with this, but the fact is, your arbitrary designation of continents doesn't make any sense when you start thinking about the names that YOU yourselves gave to the continents.

>Eurasia is the merging of Europe and Asia

Or the merging of a peninsula of Asia with the rest of Asia.

>>2447938
Everyone consider it one continent but English speakers (because of American influence)
