How does Western Europe's physical geography affect its politics

Climate, Topography and Location, and Crops and Animals

Explanation:

I’m not quite sure if I’m answering it the way you need it answered, but here is the answer from the way I saw it as.

Climate:

With the help of the Gulf Stream, it gives Europe the right amount of rainfall annually to sustain crops on a large scale. The climate is relatively temperate around Europe with nice and warm summers and cold winters due to Europe being horizontal and not vertical like Africa or the Americas.

Topography and Location:

Europe has long coastlines and access to multiple seas. The coastlines are great places for harbors, which means trading with others is quite easy. Europe also has large and wide plains that is great for agriculture.

Crops and Animals:

With the help of Eurasia being horizontal, it was easy to spread domesticated animals and crops to other parts of the Eurasia continent form the lands of the Fertile Crescent, the birthplace of agriculture.

Conclusion:

With the factors of Europe’s climate, location and topography, and crops and animals, it allowed the ability to produce a large food production. Which resulted in a lot less people needed to farm, population growth, and many trade centers and markets. This made Europe quite strong in terms of technology advancements compared to less fortunate continents like Africa, which lead to colonies there in the 19th century.

Conclusion Part 2:

I hope this answers your question. The question was kind of broad, so I hope I manage to help you understand more at least.
