What makes european, you know, european?

[KungKras]

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.
