Would they be "part" (like britain) of europe or not? Could they benefit from the colonial times?

No, it was completely underwater by 1400 C.E.

I'm sure this will end well

I'm also sure that this isn't going to summon the butterfly effect autismatron that shit up the last 2 threads of this sort we had.

But all that aside they would be pretty fucking well placed.

If they have some nicely high ground down the middle of the island then the relief rain should make the western half perfect grape, among other things, growing climate.

It's well placed to easy trade with western half of Africa as well as the Iberians assuming it hasn't in antiquity already claimed those coasts as their own.

If it's just one landmass with a reasonably even spread of people and it's been one nation for long enough then it could also possibly be in a good place to expand and claim Africa for it's own rather than France once the colony grabbing starts.

Oddly enough, a good test I had for this scenario was loading up an Atlantis mod for Europa Universalis 4. Played out as you'd expect; a bunch of baked in casius beli against iberia and North Africa. Afterward you mostly face of the big blue blob if France and her SHENANIGAINS. England becomes a vassal to suit the means of opposing France. And then you eat the Mediterranean.

I found by roughly 1888 Europe was unable to oppose, and only Russia contended (with no Western enemies they tended to form up nicely without issue.

This also meant you had a nice launching point for colonizing America, assuming you didn't crawl down the coast of Africa and round the horn. It's a toss up, as your position in the Atlantic let's you choke the trade through there, creating a very unbalanced triangle of trade (slaves to the carribean to sugar to Atlantis, etc)

Not him, but it would absolutely block the Gulf Stream, and make northern Europe significantly colder.

?
Great Britain is part of europe. Both geographically and historically.

Was anyone seriously claiming this? I've never come across it before.

Sounds like the same kind of thing as the Irish claiming they're not in the British Isles.

I remember that Mod.

I also remember shoving my Byzantine foot up their ass by landing 300K troops on their shores.

Good mod.

No, I don't think so.

Who's doing the colonizing?

See, last I knew Atlantis was supposed to be technologically superior to the point of magic. That would mean that if anyone was going to do some colonizing, it would be the Atlantians. Plus at 600 miles away, they're much farther than the UK is from mainland Europe. So I doubt they'd be considered as part of it.
