I think it is very likely to be history. Europe has never been totally dominated by another power, and has spent most of its history beating the crap out of each other- and the more remote places (UK/England/Britain. Switzerland, Scandinavia- all more remote for different reasons) have felt this more keenly.
The modrn day Americas and Africa were born out of opposition TO Europe, so they can more comfortably identify together under that concept and like it- even though they still hate each other.
Asia... tricky...
