What I mean by that is it looks like, from the perspective of a south american that never went to Europe but talked a lot with europeans from many countries, that even there being languages, culturals, politicals and ethinics differences there is something that unite all europeans people under the same identity, like a very strong sense of continental existece. 

I know there UE that plays a big role in this, but even to UE to come to existence this shared feeling, identity, or whatever, had to already be somehow strong. 

This is something i`ve noticed a lot with the continental europeans I know, there`s something unique about how they perceive the continent that in south america people somehow have ( except for Brazil, latin america identity is very strong, but in Brazil we really don`t share this strong tie with the rest of the continent appart for opportunities to make some buck) .

I don't think that the sense of continental existence is that strong.
Here in Belgium for example, we feel connected to our neighbour countries, but we don't care that much about countries such as Latvia or Bulgary.

Mostly the relief of not also being called Germany today.

That's really not any different than being an American: you can live anywhere from Chile to Canada, and all you have in common is geographic location.

As someone whose home country is in the Balkans, there is definitely not a unified European identity, in fact such words can be dangerous depending where you go. There still is a lot of nationalism and regionalism, even if your country is in the EU.

Well, after a long bloody history of fighting each other, I guess it's nice they aren't fighting each other anymore (at least not in wars)

Anyway, I think the two World Wars played a big part in Europe becoming more united.

From the middle ages and onwards, our countries developed in pretty similar ways. Christianity came and wiped out our own native cultures and killed anyone who disagreed. We built castles, we had knights, and similar architecture and art and stuff. Looking at Europe it was different but when you compared it against other regions of the world, lumping the european nations together makes a lot of sense.

I consider myself more nordic than european though. That part of my identity is more important.

I am not so sure this feeling exists. Maybe in parts, like western Europe or eastern Europe, but not as a whole.

I for one do not share this sentiment. It might be how people from different continents think of Europe though.

The accent. Gotta be the accent.

I relate most with Scandinavians and Scots. They share my celtic and viking dna. Us northern Europeans are the best!
