The Alps are THE mountain range of the world. So much so that we've called a bunch of other mountain ranges all over the world the Alps as well (Southern Alps, Oregon Alps, etc.). But just why are these mountains so important? And how did the Alps make the continent we know as Europe?

In this video, we'll explore the incredibly geography of the mountain range and how it interacts with Europe. Then we'll dive deep into the history of the Alps and how it acted as a Great Wall keeping people apart, protected, and different. Finally, we'll take a look at how the Alps continue to influence Europe today and what they might look like in the future.
