Assuming such a continent* exists. Would it be close enough that it would affect the development of Europe?

What, is that meant to be Atlantis or something?

It would seriously change the weather patterns of the Atlantic that's for sure

this, from my limited understanding of Northern Europe England would be much closer to the climate of Sweden and thus wouldn't have developed as much as it did, which would dramatically change euro history.

This. It would block the gulf stream, which would mean England would no longer have mild winters and lots of rain. This would significantly reduce their value to the various conquering peoples over the century, not to mention hamper their own economic development.
That potentially means no British Empire, which means no 13 colonies, which means no American revolution, which means no lend-lease to Russia and Britain in WW2 which means the Germans would be ruling Europe through puppet governments.
Wait, was the EU inevitable?

>impliying there would be a Germany at all in a world without anglos being relevant
France dominates Europe which means there's no chance of Germany ever being allowed to exist.

In a sense, yes. Either the continent gets conquered and unified, or the countries decide to form a union which is what happened irl.

Well, Atlantis would get the mild British weather, they are kinda enourmous, we'll get something from there too. Atlanteans won't fight themselves forever, they'll eventually unite to fight a strong Europe.
An even more massive seafaring empire, with a stronger homebase, would be born, while the whole Europe will be slower in developing a strong agriculture.

>implying WW2 would happen
>implying history would go the same way everywhere at all with exception of Britain
There would be no Germans. History will be completely unrecognizable. If PoD for this continent is far enough in the past, humans might not even evolve at all.

I want off.
