 FLORA Y FAUNA
Siendo el continente más seco (y también el más llano), Australia figura entre los países con una biodiversidad más rica del planeta.

Entre su fauna única, por ejemplo, se incluyen no sólo los famosos canguros (de los que hay diferentes variedades), sino también otros marsupiales y cientos de reptiles, pájaros e insectos.
El continente cuenta, además, con miles de especies de plantas que no han sido encontradas en ningún otro lugar del mundo. Algunas de estas especies animales y vegetales han estado en Australia -que no siempre fue una isla- desde hace millones de años. 
 Aparte de canguros y koalas, otros animales característicos de Australia son el emu (que está incluido en el escudo nacional con el canguro), ornitorrinco, possum, diablo de Tasmania, wombat, dingo (perro salvaje) o kookaburra, así como ibis, cacatúas.

On September 1st., 1939, 1.8 million German troops invaded Poland on three fronts; East Prussia in the north, Germany in the west and Slovakia in the south. They had 2600 tanks against the Polish 180, and over 2000 aircraft against the Polish 420. Their "Blitzkrieg" tactics, coupled with their bombing of defenceless towns and refugees, had never been seen before and, at first, caught the Poles off-guard. By September 14th. Warsaw was surrounded. At this stage the poles reacted, holding off the Germans at Kutno and regrouping behind the Wisla (Vistula) and Bzura rivers. Although Britain and France declared war on September 3rd. the Poles received no help - yet it had been agreed that the Poles should fight a defensive campaign for only 2 weeks during which time the Allies could get their forces together and attack from the west.

There are many "myths" that surround the September Campaign; the fictional Polish cavalry charges against German tanks (actually reported by the Italian press and used as propaganda by the Germans), the alleged destruction of the Polish Air Force on the ground, or claims that Polish armour failed to achieve any success against the invaders. In reality, and despite the fact that Poland was only just beginning to modernise her armed forces and had been forced (by Britain and France) to delay mobilisation (which they claimed might be interpreted as aggressive behaviour) so that, at the time of invasion, only about one-third of her total potential manpower was mobilised, Polish forces ensured that the September campaign was no "walk-over". The Wehrmacht had so under-rated Polish anti-tank capabilities (the Polish-designed anti-tank gun was one of the best in the world at that time) that they had gone into action with white "balkankreuz", or crosses, prominently displayed in eight locations; these crosses made excellent aiming points for Polish gun-sights and forced the Germans to radically rethink their national insignia, initially overpainting them in yellow and then, for their later campaigns, adopting the modified "balkankreuz" similar to that used by the Luftwaffe. The recently-designed 7TP "czolg lekki", or light tank, the first in the world to be designed with a diesel engine, proved to be superior to German tanks of the same class (the PzKpfw I and II) inflicting serious damage to the German forces, limited only by the fact that they were not used in concentrated groups. They were absorbed by the Germans into their own Panzer divisions at the end of the campaign.

On September 17th. Soviet forces invaded from the east. Warsaw surrendered 2 weeks later, the garrison on the Hel peninsula surrendered on October 2nd., and the Polesie Defence group, after fighting on two fronts against both German and Soviet forces, surrendered on October 5th. The Poles had held on for twice as long as had been expected and had done more damage to the Germans than the combined British and French forces were to do in 1940. The Germans lost 50,000 men, 697 planes and 993 tanks and armoured cars.

Thousands of soldiers and civilians managed to escape to France and Britain whilst many more went "underground" . A government-in-exile was formed with Wladyslaw Raczkiewicz as President and General Wladyslaw Sikorski as Prime Minister.

Adolf Hitler añadió con maestría el elemento del racismo para formar la mezcla explosiva y paranoica que galvanizaría a toda una nación. Consiguió el apoyo de un ejército herido en su honor; de los industriales enfrentados a los sindicatos y al temor de la ideología marxista; de una frustrada clase media y del proletariado «víctima de los sindicatos y de los partidos políticos». Supo concitar en todos el odio a los judíos, como elemento cohesionador, y proponerles la superioridad de la raza aria como única válida para dominar el mundo.

La Primera Guerra Mundial había dejado una Alemania derrotada política y económicamente, en un frustrado proceso por implantar la democracia liberal que reemplazara anteriores monarquías. Ello, unido al arraigo de su tradición militar y del nacionalismo romántico según el cual el Estado era la encarnación del espíritu del pueblo, así como ciertos hábitos autoritarios de la sociedad alemana, constituía un excelente caldo de cultivo para cualquier nacionalsocialismo, tan en boga en la época.

Events of 1939

Three years of mounting international tension - encompassing the Spanish Civil War, the Anschluss (union) of Germany and Austria, Hitler's occupation of the Sudetenland and the invasion of Czechoslovakia - culminated in the German invasion of Poland on 1 September. Britain and France declared war on Germany two days later. While the USA proclaimed neutrality, it continued to supply Britain with essential supplies, and the critical Battle of the Atlantic between German U-Boats and British naval convoys commenced.

Western Europe was eerily quiet during this 'phoney war'. Preparations for war continued in earnest, but there were few signs of conflict, and civilians who had been evacuated from London in the first months drifted back into the city. Gas masks were distributed, and everybody waited for the proper war to begin.

In eastern Europe and Scandinavia, however, there was nothing phoney about the war. With the Ribbentrop Pact signed between the Soviet Union and Germany in late August, Russia followed Germany into Poland in September. That country was carved up between the two invaders before the end of the year, and Russia continued this aggression by going on to invade Finland.

Top

Events of 1940

Rationing was introduced in Britain early in the New Year, but little happened in western Europe until the spring. The 'winter war' between Russia and Finland concluded in March, and in the following month Germany invaded Denmark and Norway.

Denmark surrendered immediately, but the Norwegians fought on - with British and French assistance - surrendering in June only once events in France meant that they were fighting alone.

On 10 May - the same day that Winston Churchill replaced Neville Chamberlain as Prime Minister of the UK - Germany invaded France, Belgium and Holland, and western Europe encountered the Blitzkrieg - or 'lightning war'.

Germany's combination of fast armoured tanks on land, and superiority in the air, made a unified attacking force that was both innovative and effective. Despite greater numbers of air and army personnel - and the presence of the British Expeditionary Force - the Low Countries and France proved no match for the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe. Holland and Belgium fell by the end of May; Paris was taken two weeks later.

British troops retreated from the invaders in haste, and some 226,000 British and 110,000 French troops were rescued from the channel port of Dunkirk only by a ragged fleet, using craft that ranged from pleasure boats to Navy destroyers.

In France an armistice was signed with Germany, with the puppet French Vichy government - under a hero of World War One, Marshall Pétain - in control in the 'unoccupied' part of southern and eastern France, and Germany in control in the rest of the country.

Charles de Gaulle, as the leader of the Free French, fled to England (much to Churchill's chagrin) to continue the fight against Hitler . But it looked as if that fight might not last too long. Having conquered France, Hitler turned his attention to Britain, and began preparations for an invasion. For this to be successful, however, he needed air superiority, and he charged the Luftwaffe with destroying British air power and coastal defences.

The Battle of Britain, lasting from July to September, was the first to be fought solely in the air. Germany lacked planes but had many pilots. In Britain, the situation was reversed, but - crucially - it also had radar. This, combined with the German decision to switch the attacks from airfields and factories to the major cities, enabled the RAF to squeak a narrow victory, maintain air superiority and ensure the - ultimately indefinite - postponement of the German invasion plans.

The 'Blitz' of Britain's cities lasted throughout the war, saw the bombing of Buckingham Palace and the near-destruction of Coventry, and claimed some 40,000 civilian lives.

Top

Events of 1941

With continental Europe under Nazi control, and Britain safe - for the time being - the war took on a more global dimension. Following the defeat of Mussolini's armies in Greece and Tobruk, German forces arrived in North Africa in February, and invaded Greece and Yugoslavia in April.

While the bombing of British and German cities continued, and the gas chambers at Auschwitz were put to use, Hitler invaded Russia . Operation Barbarossa, as the invasion was called, began on 22 June. The initial advance was swift, with the fall of Sebastopol at the end of October, and Moscow coming under attack at the end of the year.

The bitter Russian winter, however, like the one that Napoleon had experienced a century and a half earlier, crippled the Germans. The Soviets counterattacked in December and the Eastern Front stagnated until the spring.

Winter in the Pacific, of course, presented no such problems. The Japanese, tired of American trade embargoes, mounted a surprise attack on the US Navy base of Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii, on 7 December.

This ensured that global conflict commenced, with Germany declaring war on the US, a few days later. Within a week of Pearl Harbor, Japan had invaded the Philippines, Burma and Hong Kong. The Pacific war was on.

Top

Events of 1942

The first Americans arrived in England in January - 'Over paid, over sexed and over here' as the gripe went - and in North Africa Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps began their counter-offensive, capturing Tobruk in June.

The Blitz intensified in both England and Germany, with the first thousand-bomber air raid on Cologne, and German bombing of British cathedral cities.

In the Pacific, the Japanese continued their expansion into Borneo, Java and Sumatra. The 'unassailable' British fortress of Singapore fell rapidly in February, with around 25,000 prisoners taken, many of whom would die in Japanese camps in the years to follow.

But June saw the peak of Japanese expansion. The Battle of Midway, in which US sea-based aircraft destroyed four Japanese carriers and a cruiser, marked the turning point in the Pacific War.

The second half of the year also saw a reversal of German fortunes. British forces under Montgomery gained the initiative in North Africa at El Alamein, and Russian forces counterattacked at Stalingrad. The news of mass murders of Jewish people by the Nazis reached the Allies, and the US pledged to avenge these crimes.

Top

Events of 1943

February saw German surrender at Stalingrad: the first major defeat of Hitler's armies. Battle continued to rage in the Atlantic, and one four-day period in March saw 27 merchant vessels sunk by German U-boats.

A combination of long-range aircraft and the codebreakers at Bletchley, however, were inflicting enormous losses on the U-boats. Towards the end of May Admiral Dönitz withdrew the German fleet from the contended areas - the Battle of the Atlantic was effectively over.

In mid-May German and Italian forces in North Africa surrendered to the Allies, who used Tunisia as a springboard to invade Sicily in July. By the end of the month Mussolini had fallen, and in September the Italians surrendered to the Allies, prompting a German invasion into northern Italy.

Mussolini was audaciously rescued by a German task force, led by Otto Skorzeny, and established a fascist republic in the north. German troops also engaged the Allies in the south - the fight through Italy was to prove slow and costly.

In the Pacific, US forces overcame the Japanese at Guadalcanal, and British and Indian troops began their guerrilla campaign in Burma. American progress continued in the Aleutian Islands, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

As the Russian advance on the Eastern Front gathered pace, recapturing Kharkov and Kiev from Germany, Allied bombers began to attack German cities in enormous daylight air raids. The opening of the Second Front in Europe, long discussed and always postponed, was being prepared for the following year.

Top

Events of 1944

With advances in Burma, New Guinea and Guam, Japan began its last offensive in China, capturing further territory in the south to add to the acquisitions made in central and northern areas following the invasion of 1938. However, their control was limited to the major cities and lines of communication, and resistance - often led by the Communists - was widespread.

The Allied advance in Italy continued with landings at Anzio, in central Italy, in January. It was a static campaign. The Germans counter-attacked in February and the fighting saw the destruction of the medieval monastery at Monte Cassino after Allied bombing. Only at the end of May did the Germans retreat from Anzio. Rome was liberated in June, the day before the Allies' 'Operation Overlord', now known as the D-Day landings.

On 6 June - as Operation Overlord got underway - some 6,500 vessels landed over 130,000 Allied forces on five Normandy beaches: codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.

Some 12,000 aircraft ensured air superiority for the Allies - bombing German defences, and providing cover. The pessimistic predictions that had been made of massive Allied casualties were not borne out. On Utah beach 23,000 troops were landed, with 197 casualties, and most of the 4,649 American casualties that day occurred at Omaha beach, where the landing was significantly more difficult to achieve, meeting with fierce German resistance.

Overall, however, the landings caught the Germans by surprise, and they were unable to counter-attack with the necessary speed and strength. Anything that was moving and German was liable to be attacked from the air.

Despite this, in the weeks following the landings Allied progress was slowed considerably, by the narrow lanes and thick hedgerows of the French countryside. Nevertheless, Cherbourg was liberated by the end of June. Paris followed two months later.

Hitler's troubles were compounded by a Russian counterattack in June. This drove 300 miles west to Warsaw, and killed, wounded or captured 350,000 German soldiers. By the end of August the Russians had taken Bucharest. Estonia was taken within months, and Budapest was under siege by the end of the year.

One glimmer of light for Germany came in the Ardennes, in France, where in December a German counteroffensive - the Battle of the Bulge - killed 19,000 Americans and delayed the Allies' march into Germany.

Top

Events of 1945

The New Year saw the Soviet liberation of Auschwitz, and the revelation of the sickening obscenity of the Holocaust, its scale becoming clearer as more camps were liberated in the following months.

The Soviet army continued its offensive from the east, while from the west the Allies established a bridge across the Rhine at Remagen, in March.

While the bombing campaigns of the Blitz were over, German V1 and V2 rockets continued to drop on London. The return bombing raids on Dresden, which devastated the city in a huge firestorm, have often been considered misguided.

Meantime, the Western Allies raced the Russians to be the first into Berlin. The Russians won, reaching the capital on 21 April. Hitler killed himself on the 30th, two days after Mussolini had been captured and hanged by Italian partisans. Germany surrendered unconditionally on 7 May, and the following day was celebrated as VE (Victory in Europe) day. The war in Europe was over.

In the Pacific, however, it had continued to rage throughout this time. The British advanced further in Burma, and in February the Americans had invaded Iwo Jima. The Philippines and Okinawa followed and Japanese forces began to withdraw from China.

Plans were being prepared for an Allied invasion of Japan, but fears of fierce resistance and massive casualties prompted Harry Truman - the new American president following Roosevelt's death in April - to sanction the use of an atomic bomb against Japan.

Such bombs had been in development since 1942, and on 6 August one of them was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later another was dropped on Nagasaki. No country could withstand such attacks, and the Japanese surrendered on 14 August.

The biggest conflict in history had lasted almost six years. Some 100 million people had been militarised, and 50 million had been killed. Of those who had died, 15 million were soldiers, 20 million were Russian civilians, six million were Jews and over four million were Poles.

La primera guerra mundial

La guerra comenzó como un enfrentamiento entre el Imperio austrohúngaro y Serbia. Rusia se unió al conflicto, pues se consideraba protectora de los países eslavos y deseaba la posición de Austria-Hungría en los Balcanes. Tras la declaración de guerra austrohúngara a Rusia el 1 de agosto de 1914, el conflicto se transformó en un enfrentamiento militar a escala europea. Alemania respondió a Rusia con la guerra, obligada por un pacto secreto contraído con la monarquía de los Habsburgo, y Francia se movilizó para apoyar a su aliada. Las hostilidades involucraron a 32 países, 28 de ellos denominados .Aliados: Francia, el Reino Unido, Imperio Ruso, Serbia, Bélgica, Canadá, Portugal, Japón, Estados Unidos desde 1917, así como el Reino de Italia, que había abandonado la Triple Alianza. Este grupo se enfrentó a la coalición de las Potencias Centrales, integrada por los imperios Austrohúngaro, Alemán y Otomano, acompañados por Bulgaria.

Africa

África es el segundo continente del mundo por extensión geográfica. Limita al norte con el Mar Mediterráneo, al oeste con el Océano Atlántico, al sur con la conjunción de los océanos Atlántico e Índico y al este con el Mar Rojo y el Océano Índico. Aunque posee una superficie total de 30.272.922 kilómetros cuadrados (621.600 en masa insular), la cual representa el 22% del total terrestre, la población es de mil millones de habitantes, menos del 16%. El continente se organiza en 53 países, siendo todos ellos miembros de la Unión Africana, con excepción de Marruecos.

europe and france

Europe, the planet's 6th largest continent includes 47 countries and assorted dependencies and territories.

In exacting geographic definitions, Europe is really not a continent, but part of the peninsula of Euroasia which includes all of Europe and Asia. However, it's still widely referred to as a continent.

The European continent is separated from Asia by Russia's Ural Mountains, and the Caspian and Black Seas.

Europe's highest point, just north of the Georgia border in European Russia is Mt. Elbrus at 18,481 ft (5,633m). Its lowest point is on the edge of the Caspian Sea, at 92 ft (28m) below sea level. And france is the city with more tourist of all the world.Small parts of Turkey and Russia are considered to be a part of both Asia and Europe respectively. We have some specific definitions and details here! On July 1, 2006, the United Nations, the U.S. State Department, as well as other countries around the world now recognize both Montenegro and Serbia as separate nations. We are currently producing separate maps and individual pages for both countries.Homo georgicus, which lived roughly 1.8 million years ago in Georgia, is the earliest hominid to have been discovered in Europe.[24] Other hominid remains, dating back roughly 1 million years, have been discovered in Atapuerca, Spain.[25] Neanderthal man (named for the Neander Valley in Germany) appeared in Europe 150,000 years ago and disappeared from the fossil record about 30,000 years ago. The Neanderthals were supplanted by modern humans (Cro-Magnons), who appeared in Europe around 40,000 years ago.[26]

The European Neolithic period—marked by the cultivation of crops and the raising of livestock, increased numbers of settlements and the widespread use of pottery—began around 7000 BC in Greece and the Balkans, probably influenced by earlier farming practices in Anatolia and the Near East. It spread from South Eastern Europe along the valleys of the Danube and the Rhine (Linear Pottery culture) and along the Mediterranean coast (Cardial culture). Between 4500 and 3000 BC, these central European neolithic cultures developed further to the west and the north, transmitting newly acquired skills in producing copper artefacts. In Western Europe the Neolithic period was characterized not by large agricultural settlements but by field monuments, such as causewayed enclosures, burial mounds and megalithic tombs.[27] The Corded ware cultural horizon flourished at the transition from the Neolithic to the Chalcolithic. During this period giant megalithic monuments, such as the Megalithic Temples of Malta and Stonehenge, were constructed throughout Western and Southern Europe.[28][29] The European Bronze Age began in the late 3rd millennium BC with the Beaker culture.

The European Iron Age began around 800 BC, with the Hallstatt culture. Iron Age colonisation by the Phoenicians gave rise to early Mediterranean cities. Early Iron Age Italy and Greece from around the 8th century BC gradually gave rise to historical Classical Antiquity.Europe (pronunciation: /ˈjʊəɹəp/ YEWR-əp or /ˈjəɹəp/ YUR-əp[1]) is one of the world's seven continents. Comprising the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, Europe is generally divided from Asia to its east by the water divide of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus region (specification of borders) and the Black Sea to the southeast.[2] Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean and other bodies of water to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Black Sea and connected waterways to the southeast. Yet the borders for Europe—a concept dating back to classical antiquity—are somewhat arbitrary, as the term continent can refer to a cultural and political distinction or a physiographic one.

Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000 sq mi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50 states, Russia is the largest by both area and population (although the country has territory in both Europe and Asia), while the Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third-most populous continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 731 million or about 11% of the world's population.France is a unitary semi-presidential republic with its main ideals expressed in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The French Republic is defined as indivisible, secular, democratic and social by its constitution.[17] France is one of the world's most developed countries[18] and possesses the world's fifth largest and Europe's second largest economy by nominal GDP.[19] France is the wealthiest European (and the world's 4th) nation[20] in aggregate household wealth. France enjoys a high standard of living as well as a high public education level, and has also one of the world's highest life expectancies.[21] France has been listed as the world's "best overall health care" provider by the World Health Organization.[22] It is the most visited country in the world, receiving 82 million foreign tourists annually.[23]

France has the world's fourth largest nominal military budget, the third largest military in NATO and EU's largest army. France also possesses the third largest nuclear weapons stockpile in the world[24]-with ~300 active warheads as of 25 May 2010- and the world's second largest diplomatic corps (only second to the one of the United States).[25]

France is a founding member of the United Nations, one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, and a member of the Francophonie, the G8, G20, NATO, OECD, WTO, and the Latin Union. It is also a founding and leading member state of the European Union and the largest one by area.[26] In 2007, France was listed 14th on the Human Development Index and 24th on the Corruption Perceptions Index.

After 1977 the government adopted a policy of religious tolerance, and the Constitution of 1982 allows citizens to have cult freedom and protects religious activities. Many temples, churches and mosques have been qualified again. The three most ancient religions or philosophies are Confucianism, Buddhism or Taoism; most people practice a mixture of the three of then; around 5% of the population is Muslim and there is a small minority of Christians.

Geografía física

En la Europa medieval se consideraba Asia como un continente distinto. El concepto europeo de tres continentes en el viejo mundo se remonta a la antigüedad clásica, pero durante la edad media fue especialmente defendido debido a los estudios del erudito del siglo VII Isidoro de Sevilla (véase Mapa de T en O). La delimitación entre Asia y África (en el suroeste) forma el istmo de Suez y el mar Rojo. Los límites entre Asia y Europa, convencionalmente, se considera que discurren entre los Dardanelos, el mar de Mármara, el Bósforo, el mar Negro, el Cáucaso, el mar Caspio, el río Ural hasta sus fuentes en los montes Urales hasta el mar de Kara (Rusia).

En el Lejano Oriente de Asia, Siberia está separada de Norteamérica por el estrecho de Bering. Asia está rodeada por el sur por el océano Índico (específicamente, de oeste a este, el golfo de Adén, el mar Arábigo y la bahía de Bengala), al este por las aguas del océano Pacífico (incluyendo, en contra las manecillas del reloj, el mar de China, el mar de China Oriental, el mar Amarillo, el mar de Japón, el mar de Ojotsk y el mar de Bering) y por el norte por el océano Ártico. Australia (o Oceanía) permanece en el sudeste.

Algunos geógrafos no consideran que Asia y Europa sean continentes separados,[1] ya que no existe una separación física lógica entre ambas.[2] Por ejemplo, Barry Cunliffe, el profesor emérito de arqueología europea de Oxford, sostiene que Europa ha sido geográficamente y culturalmente la "excrecencia occidental del continente asiático".[3] Geográficamente, Asia es la mayor parte oriental del continente denominado Eurasia con Europa constituyendo una península noroccidental de la masa continental denominada Afro-Eurasia: geológicamente, Asia, Europa y África constituyen un territorio único y continuo (salvo el Canal de Suez) y comparten una plataforma continental común. La mayor parte de Europa y Asia se asientan en la placa tectónica euroasiática, que bordea a la placa Arábiga y la placa India por el sur; la parte más nororiental de Siberia (al este de los Montes Cherski) forma parte de la placa Norteamericana.

En geografía, existen dos escuelas de pensamiento principales. Una escuela obedece a las convenciones históricas y trata Europa y Asia como continentes diferentes, categorizando subregiones dentro de ellos para un análisis más detallado. La otra escuela compara la palabra "continente" con una región geográfica cuando se refiere a Europa, y utiliza el término "región" para describir a Asia en términos de la fisiografía. Dado que, en términos lingüísticos, "continente" implica una masa distinta, cada vez es más común sustituir el término "región" por el de "continente" para evitar el problema de la desambiguación.

Dado el alcance y diversidad de la masa de tierra, a veces no está siquiera claro en qué consiste "Asia" exactamente. Algunas definiciones excluyen Turquía, Oriente Medio, Asia Central y Rusia, y sólo consideran que componen Asia el Lejano Oriente, el Sureste Asiático y el subcontinente indio,[4] [5] especialmente en Estados Unidos después de la II Guerra Mundial.[6] El término a veces se reduce de forma más estrecha para referirse a la región Asia-Pacífico, que no incluye Oriente Medio, el Sureste Asiático ni Rusia,[7] pero sí incluye las islas del océano Pacífico y puede incluir partes de Australasia o Oceanía, a pesar que los isleños del Pacífico no son considerados asiáticos.

                                                                  CHINA:
Es el país más grande de Asia Oriental  así como el más poblado del mundo con más de 1.300 millones de habitantes, aproximadamente la quinta parte de la población mundial. China es una república socialistaPartido Comunista de China,  con veintidós provincias , cinco regiones autónomas , cuatro municipalidades.
 Con una superficie total de aproximadamente 9,6 millones de kilómetros cuadrados, la República Popular China es el cuarto país más grande del mundo en cuanto a extensión territorial, tras Rusia, Canadá y los Estados Unidos.
Dentro de su territorio acoge distintos tipos de paisajes y ecosistemas, desde las praderas y estepas de Mongolia y Manchuria y los desiertos de Gobi y Taklamakán, situados en el seco norte a lo largo de la frontera con Mongolia y de la Siberia rusa, hasta los bosques subtropicales ubicados en el húmedo sur del país, próximos a Laos, Vietnam y Birmania. En el oeste se sitúan las altas cordilleras montañosas del Himalaya y Tian Shan, que ejercen de frontera natural entre China e India y Asia Central. 
El este del país está bordeado por una baja línea costera de 14.500 kilómetros de longitud bañada por el Mar de la China Meridional y por el Mar de China Oriental, que también baña las costas de la Isla de Taiwán, la Península de Corea y Japón.
China es, junto con Rusia, el país con más fronteras terrestres del mundo, ya que tiene fronteras con 14 países: Afganistán, Bután, Birmania, India, Kazajistán, Kirguistán, Laos, Mongolia, Nepal, Corea del Norte, Pakistán, Rusia, Tayikistán y Vietnam.
Las ciudades más importantes son Pekín, Shanghái y Hong Kong.

What is longitud? What is latitud? History of prime meridian (Greenwich).

1.- What is longitud? The vertical longitud lines are also known as meridians. They converge at the poles and are widest at the equator On the globe, lines of constant longitude ("meridians") extend from pole to pole, like the segment boundaries on a peeled orange.

2.- What is latitud? Latitude lines are also known as parallels since they are parallel and are an equal distant from each other. Imagine the Earth was a transparent sphere. Through the transparent Earth we can see its equatorial plane, and its middle the point is O, the center of the Earth.

3.-What is the Equator? The equator is 0 degree latitude. This imaginary line, which runs through parts of South America, Africa, and Asia, is officially the halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole.

4.- History of prime meridian (Greenwich).

The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude. This imaginary line runs through the United Kingdom, France, Spain, western Africa, and Antarctica.

By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west. For instance, the United States is in the Western Hemisphere (because it is west of the prime meridian) and also in the Northern Hemisphere (because it is north of the equator).

Francia or Frankia, later also called the Frankish Empire (Latin: imperium Francorum), Frankish Kingdom (Latin: regnum Francorum, "Kingdom of the Franks"), Frankish Realm or occasionally Frankland, was the territory inhabited and ruled by the Franks from the 3rd to the 10th century. Under the nearly continuous campaigns of Charles Martel, Pepin the Short, and Charlemagne—father, son, grandson—the greatest expansion of the Frankish empire was secured by the early 9th century.

Longitud y latitud de america del norte y central

Longitud: De América del norte la longitud o superficie es de 24, 315, 410 km2 y de América central es de 522. 760.
Altitud: En este listado se recogen las 36 montañas más altas de América del Norte, todas ellas de más de 4.500 m de altura y con una prominencia de más de 500 m. Además, se incluyen al final del listado principal ocho picos secundarios de más de 5.000 m de altura. Todas estas montañas se encuentran bien en la cordillera de Alaska bien en la cordillera Neovolcánica de México (siete picos principales y uno secundario), también llamada sierra Volcánica Transversal. El monte McKinley (6.194 m), el único de América del Norte que supera los 6.000 m de altura) es una de las consideradas "siete cumbres"

Asia es el continente más extenso y poblado del planeta, que con cerca de 44 millones de km² supone el 8,65% del total de la superficie terrestre y el 29,45% de las tierras emergidas, y con sus 4000 millones de habitantes, el 60% de la población humana. Se extiende sobre la mitad oriental del hemisferio Norte, desde el océano Glacial Ártico, al norte, hasta el océano Índico, al sur. Limita, al oeste, con los montes Urales, y al este, con el océano Pacífico.

En la división convencional de continentes, de origen europeo, Asia y Europa aparecen como dos entidades diferentes por razones culturales e históricas. En términos geográficos, forman en realidad un único continente, llamado Eurasia. Además, África está unida a Eurasia por el istmo de Suez por lo que también se puede considerar toda la extensión conjunta de Europa, Asia y África como un único supercontinente, ocasionalmente denominado Eurafrasia, o Afro-eurasia.

europe is a continent
Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000 sq mi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50 states, Russia is the largest by both area and population (although the country has territory in both Europe and Asia), while the Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third-most populous continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 731 million or about 11% of the world's population.
Europe is the best continent.
