Bah, isn't that more of a political argument than a geographical one?
A continent is one of several large landmasses on Earth. They are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, with seven regions commonly regarded as continents – they are (from largest in size to smallest): Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
The expression "the Continent" may also refer to Continental Europe, that is, the mainland of Europe, excluding the British Isles,[2] Iceland and some other islands.

The european monicker is a political fiction.
