[WHERE ARE THE ASIAN BORDERS? (PART 2: EUROPE)]

Asia is the largest and most populous continent in the world. From the physical extremes to the cultural, it's a continent that has shown tremendous diversity from one end to the other.

But what exactly counts as Asia? Where are the Asian borders?

This video is part two of a three-part series.

In part one, we covered the specific Asian borders following the coastal regions from the Tumen River between North Korea & Russia to the Suez Canal in Egypt.

In between, we went over Japan's Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands, the Malay Archipelago, Indonesia's border with Papua New Guinea, the Wallace Line, the Weber Line, the Asian continental shelf, the Middle East, Yemen's Socotra Archipelago, Afro-Eurasia, and Egypt's border.

In part two, we cover the most controversial Asian border section of Europe starting from Egypt, through Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Russia. We end on the eastern side of Russia (Siberia) bordering North America, which is where part three will commence.

Many feel Asian and Europe shouldn't have been separate continents to start with, as there isn't a clear physical geographical divide between the two. In fact, a few countries teach the continent of Eurasia as a result. This made this video particularly challenging as nothing is definitive and is all open to interpretation

[WHERE ARE THE ASIAN BORDERS? (PART 1: AUSTRALIA & AFRICA)]

Asia is the largest of all continents, covering an area of 44,579,000 square kilometres, that's 30% of the Earth's total land area.

It has given rise to many of the world's first civilizations, and has long been home to the majority of the human population.

But have you ever wondered what actually counts as Asia? Where exactly are the borders?

Do they sit nicely in between countries, or can a country be divided?

This video is part one of a three part series. We cover the specific Asian borders following the coastal regions from the Tumen River between North Korea & Russia to the Suez Canal in Egypt.

In between, we go over Japan's Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands, the Malay Archipelago, Indonesia's border with Papua New Guinea, the Wallace Line, the Weber Line, Asian continental shelf, the Middle East, Yemen's Socotra Archipelago, Afro-Eurasia, Egypt's border, and more.

Part two will cover the messy Europe Asia border, Russia's continental status, and the North America Asia border that isn't as simple as you might think.
