The world is divided into seven continents. The continents from smallest to the largest are Australia, Europe, Antarctica, South America, North America, Africa and Asia. You may come across some instances, where the continents of Europe and Asia are clubbed together and are known as Eurasia. Likewise North and South America are combined to be known as America. When you take a look at the list of countries in the world the list is a real long list. With Europe being the second smallest continent after Australia, the European capitals list is indeed small. Are you aware of the answer to the question how many countries in Europe? Well the answer is, there are just 51 countries are a part of the European continent along with the 12 autonomous regions.

When one talks about the autonomous regions, a natural question that arises is which are these autonomous regions. They are de facto independent countries, but with very limited international recognition. Some of these regions are not recognized internationally. However, it is important to note that none of the autonomous regions are members of the United Nations. There is an interesting fact about Europe. There is one country, which appears in the list of countries in Asia as well as the list of counties in Europe. The country is Russia. It is due to this fact, that before disintegration of former USSR, the continents of Asia and Europe were known as Eurasia. Let's see the list of European countries and capitals now.
