While the eastern geographical boundaries of Europe are well defined, the boundary between Eastern and [[Western Europe]] is not geographical but historical, religious and cultural, and is harder to designate.

The [[Ural Mountains]], [[Ural River]], and the [[Caucasus Mountains]] are the [[Boundaries between continents|geographical land border]] of the eastern edge of Europe. E.g. [[Kazakhstan]], which is mainly located in [[Central Asia]] with the most western parts of it located west of the [[Ural River]], also shares a part of Eastern Europe.<ref>{{Citation |title=Kazakhstan |work=The World Factbook |url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/kazakhstan/locator-map |access-date=2024-08-10 |publisher=Central Intelligence Agency |language=en}}</ref>

In the west, however, the historical and [[culture|cultural]] boundaries of "Eastern Europe" are subject to some overlap and, most importantly, have undergone historical fluctuations, which makes a precise definition of the western geographic boundaries of Eastern Europe and the [[geographical midpoint of Europe]] somewhat difficult.
