Valentin Serov: Rape of Europa 1910/Wikipedia Commons
Have you ever thought about why we call Europe 'Europe' and Africa 'Africa'? It's really interesting when you realize that these names weren't just randomly picked out of a hat! In fact, imagine what it would be like if we called different parts of the world names like 'Southern', 'Antibear', 'Government', 'Dusty', 'Sunset', or 'Horse' instead. It might sound a bit strange, but who knows, those names could have caught on if history had taken a different turn!
