The identity of Europe always has been unclear ,imprecise and undefined,some of the people hated Europe,others opposingly respected and was proud about it,like all identies Europe consists of different sotires,collective memories ,traditions,a lot of nations actually couldn`t describe themselves,because the couldn`t find the common word ,that would describe them all,but Europeans could do this,so ,when they met unrecongnisible cultures,they may call them selves not only British or German,but also „Europeans”like Fransic Bacon said in the 1623. Nowadays Europe is more understood as economical and political organisation.,and the cultural meaning is not that strong,but some time ago Europe had faced a lot of thing together and it has very long history how it has turned into a free nad open federation.
