Europe is a continent that is separated from Asia by the Ural and Caucasus Mountains. It is the sixth largest continent and the third most populated.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Between 1348 and 1350, the Black Death killed 30–60% of the European population, creating a labour shortage that weakened feudalism and began the rise of wage labour.[2]
Geography[edit | edit source]
Europe has a 37,000 km coastline and is surrounded by the Baltic, Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Black Seas. It has numerous navigable rivers such as the Volga, Rhine, Danube, and Seine. The North European Plain is an open expanse stretching from Paris to Moscow.[3]
