Ofc boss, Spain and Portugal are indeed part of Western Europe. The explanation for why South America is not typically included in the concept of “the West” focuses on different historical, cultural, and social factors that distinguish these countries from Western European and North American nations. In short, although the roots may be similar, the historical and cultural development of South America after colonization has led to a distinct identity that sets it apart from the traditional concept of “the West.” In our country we have kinda same issue 🤣 Since we are almost in middle of Europe and our history is kinda mashup of all things. Someone is learning that our country is part of Eastern Europe, someone is learning that we are Western Europe 🤣🤣 Imo cultural geopolitics is what causes these absurd things, but cultural geopolitics can’t change geography 🤣💁 At the end of the day, if ppls will grow into centrain level, these cultural geopolitical thinks will be totally useless bcs peoples will not care anymore about geopolitics and they will focus more on their grow ✊🏻 Americans like Immanuel Maurice Wallerstein had an influence on this nonsense 👌
