What are Europeans?

Europeans are people who originate from or live in Europe, one of the seven continents. The term can refer broadly to the inhabitants of any of the countries in Europe, which includes nations such as France, Germany, Italy, and many others. Europeans come from diverse cultural, linguistic, and historical backgrounds, and the continent is known for its rich heritage and significant contributions to global history. The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of 27 European countries, but not all Europeans are EU citizens. The definition of 'European' can refer to geographic, cultural, or political aspects depending on the context.
