Europe: countries and capitals (list)

The whole of Europe is divided into eastern, western, northern and southern, but the countries are uneven, and somewhere there are 9, and somewhere around 15. In addition to 44 countries, there are states that were not recognized or recognized in part - Kosovo, Transnistria And Siland. There are also European countries with capitals that are dependent states (countries that are not considered independent but have their territory, borders, population), there are 9 of them, and most of them belong to the UK, such as Guernsey, Gibraltar or Jan- Mayen.

It is impossible to unequivocally answer and divide all countries into parts, because each organization (ONN, CIA, SGNZS, etc.) differentiates them by its own reasons. In this article, the list of countries will be shown in accordance with the UN resolution.

Eastern Europe

Before giving a brief description of this region, it is necessary to provide a list of countries in Europe and their capitals.

Many believe that Russia does not belong to Europe at all, someone also separates Ukraine. But if you adhere to the resolution of the UN, the population of this part is about 135 million people, not counting Russia. The largest population is in Poland, the lowest in Moldova, and the majority of the population belongs to the Slavic group: Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians and others.
