European Borders

European borders are the official boundaries that divide countries within Europe, defining where one nation ends and another begins. These borders are often established through historical treaties, negotiations, or conflicts, and can be physical features like rivers or mountains, or invisible lines on maps. They regulate movement of people, goods, and services, with some borders allowing free passage (as in the Schengen Area) while others require visas or customs checks. Borders play a key role in national sovereignty, security, and identity, reflecting the diverse history and political relationships among European countries.
