Scenarios about 'european identity'

European identity refers to the collective cultural, historical, and political consciousness shared among peoples of Europe despite national differences. It encompasses common heritage elements including Greco-Roman civilization, Christianity, Enlightenment values, and shared historical experiences that have shaped continental perspectives.
