Old Europe
Definition
- Old Europe, which is often used in junction with or in comparison to New Europe, is a term used in 2003 by U.S. secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld to refer to those European countries that did not support the American military invasion of Iraq, especially Germany and France. He claimed that the center of gravity of Europe was moving eastward, to the New Europe, where the new democracies supported the U.S. actions in Iraq.
