Bullshit! (Or should I say, "Ox-crap!"?) You're *gibbering*.
The Ox moos:
[Mussolini, DeGaul Ceasar the Norse] All thought of the Med lake as part of theirs.
So? You can own two things and that doesn't make them part of each other.
Or is your car part of your house, just because you happen to own them both?
The Norse always traded with Cadiz and Tripoli.
And America (all countries, on both halves of the continent) trades with Japan and China.
Does that make Japan and China parts of America, or the USA (etc) part of Asia?
Now is Estonia European or Slavic?
Both, of course. Well, only about half-Slavic, since the Estonians aren't a Slavic people, but the Russians (who make up about half the population) are.
I think Europe proper is defined by tribal groups not theology or geography.
That's pretty fucking goddamn stupid of you.
But OK, I'll play along a little -- just as much as it amuses me to. (Because the amusement value is about all this silly notion is good for.)
This would let out Poland,
No, why? The Poles are a European people, just like many other (most West-) Slavic peoples. (Notably, the Czechs and Slovaks.)
anything east of Danzig,
Nope.
East of Italy
Absolutely not -- the South Slavic (*in* South-slavic [the language], that's "Yugo-slav"...) peoples are just as European as their West-Slavic brethren further to the north.
South of the Rock of Gibraltar
Of course. For one thing, there's a sea immediately south of the Rock, and south of that is another continent. And for another, in your terms, the Bedouins never were a European "tribe".
and only the parts of Austria that are east of the danube.
No, Eastern Europe is still Europe.
Finland barely makes it as well as Iceland in the Northern Areas.
Of course they "make it" -- no "barely" about it.
Better?
Nope.
