The West is where the sun goes down

Everything west of the Mississippi

traditionally Christian usually
since you guys include Armenia and Georgia as western countries but not Turkey

is Israel a western country?

The West pissed my elevator yesterday

Western Europe to the Vistula/Carpathians and some colonies (America, Australia, etc.).

None of those are Western. The West is where you find Gothic cathedrals, not Cathedrals in general.

"the west" is what thirdoids yell when their politicians steal a billion dollars and put it offshore bank accounts

"The core area of Western Civilization (A.D. 400 to some time in the future) has been the northern half of Italy, France, the extreme western part of Germany, and England; the semi-peripheral area has been central, eastern, and southern Europe and the Iberian peninsula, while the peripheral areas have included North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and some other areas."

spics are not western lmfao
who made this

Gothic architecture is THE quintessential Western architecture in my opinion. I guess the irony is that part of being Western is exporting Westernism all over the world. So even though Japan is not Western, you’ll find Gothic cathedrals there. However, you won’t commonly find Gothic cathedrals in Armenia because Armenia is decidedly not Western though they may be Christian.

If Latin Americans aren’t Western, couldn’t you make the same argument for Poles, Hungarians, and Estonians, or even Americans and Australians?

>Echmiadzin Cathedral
this is called Byzantine no?
or do they have their own style considering Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as state religion

Before the rise of atheism the "West" was basically all the Christian regions with a few notable exceptions (Philippines and Subsaharan Africa).
Even historically the contrapposition was between the Christian (sometimes Catholic) West and the Muslim East

mate brazil literally has tranny hookers walking around casually and people eating monkey soup
they are culturally closer to thailand

no

I don’t think so. I think that would be some unique Armenian style. The Wikipedia says that cathedral is very old, much older than Byzantine or Gothic. Byzantine came from the Byzantine empire and id most commonly associated with the former Byzantine Empire, not necessarily Orthodoxy.

Sounds like San Francisco

There’s no doubt they’re different from us but it’s just a matter of degree I think.

Whatever it is remember we are part of it

france, england, low countries, north italy, and germany

the only thing which differentiates the west from the rest of the world is modernism, which started with the Renaissance, anything prior to that it was just in the same line with the rest of the world

Christian Europe and its colonies, with the exception of Russia
