Eastern Hemisphere
Eastern Hemisphere, also Eastern hemisphere, is a term that can be used in a geopolitical sense as a synonym for 'Old World', intended to avoid the perceived Eurocentrism of that phrase. In this sense it usually means Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, in parallel to Western Hemisphere as a designation for the Americas.
