However, little information is known about the history of the togo region until before the end of the 15th century, when the Portuguese landed in this region.

Joao de santarem and pero escobar were the first Europeans to see the togo region, they were portuguese explorers who sailed along the coast of togo. between 1471 and 1473. The potugis only arrived in the region at the end of the 15th century, around 1490, which was followed also by other european nations. The Portuguese established a fort in the porto seguro region and carried out trade there.

From the 16th to the 19th centuries the coastal region of togo became a major trading center . for the europeans to search for slaves, making togo and the surrounding area named slave coast or slave beach. In 1884, after the signing of a treaty between king mlapa III and the German authorities in togoville. Germany claimed a protectorate over stretches of territory along the coast and then gradually extended its control to inland areas.

In 1905, the region officially became a german colony and was named togoland. At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the togoland region was invaded and taken over by British and French forces, and the region was placed under anglo-french military rule. In 1916 the region was divided into separate English and French administrative zones.

In 1922, through the mandate of the league of nations, officially the western territories administered by the British became British Togoland, and the french-administered eastern territories became French Togoland. After World War II, the mandate became a UN trust territory administered by britain and france. During the period of mandate and guardianship, western togo was administered as part of the British Gold Coast.

In December 1956, residents of the British Togoland chose to join the gold coast as part of the newly independent country of ghana. While the French retained the right to control defense, foreign relations, and finances in the french togoland region.

In 1955 through a law, french togoland or french togoland became an autonomous republic within the unity of france, 13 october 1958, the french government announced that full independence would be granted to french togoland.

On November 14, 1958, the UN general assembly recorded a french government declaration stating that togo under french rule would gain independence in 1960, thus marking the end of the guardianship period in the region.

On 27 April 1960, togo severed its constitutional ties with france, relinquished its UN trusteeship status, and became fully independent under a provisional constitution with sylvanus olympio as president. The olympio government was marked by the terror of its militias, in December 1961, leaders of opposition parties were arrested for allegedly preparing an anti-government conspiracy.

A decree was issued on the dissolution of opposition parties. On January 13, 1963, the olympio was overthrown and killed in a coup d'état by a group of soldiers under the direction of sergeant gnassingbe eyadema.

The military then handed over power to an interim government led by nicolas grunitzky who was a political rival to the Olympios. Exactly four years later on January 13, 1967, the gnassingbe eyadema overthrew the grunitzky government in a bloodless coup and took over the country's presidency. Eyadema ruled the country for 38 years, until his death on February 5, 2005.

Komoro - Often considered an Arab State even though it is located far from Arabia, This is a Comoros State

"Ever heard of the comoros country?" This country is often considered one of the arab or middle eastern countries. In fact, geographically the country is located in the Indian Ocean and far from the middle east region. In addition, the comoros also use French as one of its official languages. This is also what makes comoros often referred to as confusing arab countries. More details about the comoros country, here's the article...

The comoros state or officially known by the name of comoros union. It is an independent country located in the region of south africa. in detail, the comoros state is located in the indian ocean at the northern end of the mozambique strait off the east coast of africa.

Comoros is one of the island nations on the african continent, the country shares a maritime border with the country of madagascar in the east, mozambique in the west and with the seychelles in the northeast.

The comoros mainland area consists of 3 large islands namely grande comore or ngazija, moheli or mwali and anjouan or ndzawani as well as many small islands. The total land area of the country is about 1, 862 square kilometers, making it one of the smallest countries in the world. If we try to compare the area of this country with the area in Indonesia, the area of this comoros country is about the size of the area of tasikmalaya regency in West Java.

The capital of the comoros state is the city of Moroni located on the island of ngazija , the city also being the largest city in the comoros country, According to the population census data It is estimated that the total population of the population of the comoros country is 850,886 inhabitants. which makes it one of the least populated countries in the world.

However, when compared to its area, comoros are one of the most densely populated countries, since the population density in this country is about 457 inhabitants per square kilometer.

The comoros population is dominated by the afro-arab ethnic group with a percentage reaching 86%, while the rest come from several other ethnic groups, such as malagasy, indians, chinese and other small communities.

Then in terms of religion, more than 98% of the comoros population adheres to the islamic religion, of that percentage, comoros is the only country with a muslim majority population in the region of south africa.

The comoros country also has 3 official languages spoken in the country, namely the comoros language or known as Shikomori, Arabic and French. French in this country is spoken as the administrative language and the language of most formal education. The comoros union is a republican state, the politics of this country takes place within the framework of a federal presidential republic.

Under the constitution of 2001, which was amended in 2009, 2014, and 2018, the comoros union state was formed by 3 main islands in the country. These three islands have the right to regulate most of their own affairs with their own presidents, except for activities assigned to comoros unions such as foreign policy, defense, nationality, banking and others.

The executive power of the federal government is held by the president, who is assisted by three vice presidents. The comoros president serves as head of state and government and is directly elected in national elections for a five-year term.

Each vice president served for five years and represented one of the three islands. The current president of the comoros is held by azali assoumani. He was a politkus and a comoros military officer.

Azali assoumani became head of state after a coup in 1999 and was elected president in 2002, 2016 and 2019. In terms of economy, comoros are one of the smallest and poorest economies in the world.

The country's economy is based on subsistence agriculture and fisheries. Comoros have a great dependence on grants and foreign aid. Financial bantauns from countries such as the european union, japan, saudi arabia and kuwait have become one of the main pillars of the country's economy.

Comoros history. The first inhabitants to occupy the comoros islands are thought to have been fishermen and traders of African and austronesian origin, who traveled by boat.

They came to the comoros around the 6th century AD or earlier. Furthermore, in the 8th to 13th centuries AD they were followed by an influx of sailors from the arabian peninsula and the Persian Gulf as well as austronesian sailors from southeast asia, who had previously settled near madagascar.

For centuries, the comoros have been inhabited by a diverse succession of groups from the coasts of Africa, the Persian Gulf, Southeast Asia and Madagascar. The construction of settlements in the comoros themselves is divided into several phases. The earliest recorded phase was the dembeni phase between the 8th and 10th centuries, where there were several small settlements on each island.

Later from the 11th to the 15th centuries, trade with the island of madagascar and merchants from the swahili coast and the middle east flourished, which resulted in more villages being established and existing villages beginning to grow.

Many comoros can trace their lineage to the ancestors of the arabian peninsula, in particular the hadhramaut, who arrived during this period. The first known Europeans to visit these islands, in the 16th century, were portuguese.

The Portuguese arrived in the Indian Ocean at the end of the 15th century and the first Portuguese visit to the islands appears to have been the second fleet visit of vasco da gama in 1503. For most of the 16th century period, comoros islands served as supplies for portuguese fortifications in mozambique. During this period, there were no official attempts by the portuguese government to take over the territory of the comoros.

Around the beginning of the 17th century, English and Dutch ships began to arrive in the territory of the comoros archipelago, after the arrival of these europeans the island of ndzwani or grande comore later became the main supply point on the route to the east indies.

Nevertheless, the most dominant foreign influence on the islands was from the Arabs. In this period the local rulers of the comoros gained the support of the sultan of oman.

Towards the end of the 18th century, warriors from madagascar began to attack the islands of the comoros for the first time, they took the inhabitants of the comoros to serve as slaves, and then settled down and seized power from the arabs in the various regions of the archipelago. In the comoros, it is estimated that in 1865, as much as 40% of the population of the comoros population consisted of slaves.

In the 19th century the territory of the comoros archipelago became part of the french colonial rule. France's acquisition of the islands in the comoros proceeded gradually, the French first established colonial rule in the comoros by taking over the island of mayotte in 1841, in the 1880s the french government placed all three other islands with the status of french protected territories.

And it was not until 1908 that the four comoros islands officially became part of the french colony in madagascar. In 1961, a year after madagascar became independent, the islands were granted internal autonomy by the French. In 1973 the comoros representatives entered into an agreement with the french government to grant comoros independence in 1978. And in 1974, a referendum was held on all four islands.

As a result of the referendum, three islands voted for independence, while the island of Mayotte voted against, and remained under french rule. After a referendum, on 6 July 1975 the comoros parliament passed a unilateral resolution to declare comoros independence from france.

Although the UN recognizes the 4 islands as one country, the French only recognize 3 islands, while the island of Mayotte, which from the beginning refused to become independent, is managed as the foreign department of the french state.

That is a summary of the history about the founding of the comoros state. And as always, to get to know lebeih close to this country, here are 20 interesting facts from the comoros country. The origin of the name comoros is taken from the Arabic vocabulary, namely from the word jaza'ir al-qamar which means moon islands. At the same time, the comoros population called himself a student.

As we see, the design of the national flag of the comoros country consists of 4 horizontal stripes with yellow, white, red and blue colors, which are combined with a green triangle on the side of the hoist in which there is a crescent moon length and 4 white stars. Although this motif has been used comoros since 1975 during the independence movement.

However, it was only officially adopted as a flag design on December 23, 2001. The national flag of the comoros has 4 horizontal lines and which represents those 4 main islands. The yellow color on the flag represents the island of moheli, the white represents the island of mayotte, the red of the island of anjouan and the blue color represents the island of grande comore. While the green color, the symbol of the crescent moon and the star symbolizes the religion of Islam. In addition, the 4 star emblems are also said to represent the 4 main islands.

Mayotte Island is a state-owned foreign affairs department of France. Although historically the island was part of the comoros, in a referendum in 1974, the island of mayoote decided to remain under french rule. Nevertheless, in the declaration of independence in 1975, the comoros still claimed that the island was part of its country.

Mayotte Island is the most prosperous region in the straits of Mozambique, which later made it a major destination for illegal immigration, especially from surrounding areas such as from comoros. In 1997, two small islands in the comoros, namely moheli and anjouan islands, briefly broke away from the comoros union. They asked the French to re-colonize them, but the French refused the request and they rejoined the union in 2001.

Interestingly, since independence in 1975, the Comoros have experienced more than 20 coups and attempts at secession. On average, coups are attempted in comoros every two years which causes the islands to be dubbed as coup islands.

One of the other interesting facts of the comoros country is that the comoros country is an island country in africa that is close to the french country. this is because considering that the island of mayotte is part of france.

The comoros franc is the official currency issued by the comoros state. Internationally this currency is encoded with KMF, if we convert this currency into rupiah, 1 comoros franc has an exchange rate of about 30 rupiah. As mentioned earlier, the country is one of the poorest countries in africa, as more than 40% of its population lives below the poverty line.

20% of comoros citizens are unemployed and only about 60% can read and write. The country's economy is highly dependent on the agricultural sector. The comoros agricultural industry is a contributor to about 40% of the country's GDP. One of the factors hindering economic growth in the country is inadequate transport networks, especially transportation connecting the islands.

The country's banking system is managed by artsakhbank which is an armenian bank based in the city of yerevan, as well as a number of other armenian banks. The artsakh republic uses armenian dram with AMD code as their official currency. 1 armenian dram if converted to rupiah is about 30 rupiah.

History of artsakh Since the 5th century BC, the artsakh region was part of armenia, it continued until the 10th century AD. Although the armenian leadership underwent a change of dynasties and rulers, as when it came under persian and arab rule, many armenian territories including artsakh, were ruled by armenian nobles.

After the war with the byzantine empire, and with the arrival of the seljuk turks in the latter half of the 11th century, the armenian kingdom collapsed, and artsakh became an autonomous occupation of khachen, ruled by the house of hasan jalalyan which was one of the armenian dynasties. During this time, the land west of the Kura river all the way to the eastern slopes of the Zangezur mountains would be known as Karabakh , with the land of the Khachen Kingdom corresponding to the plateau.

During the period of Mongol domination, most Armenians left the Karabakh lowlands and sought refuge in the mountainous plateaus of the region.

The Khachen kingdom was eventually divided among the five Armenian princes, known as melik, collectively known as the Five Melikdoms of Karabakh which literally means "five kingdoms of Karabakh" in addition to being also referred to as Khamsa , which means "five" in Arabic.

In the 16th century, Karabakh came under Iranian rule for the first time in almost a millennium with the rise of the Safavid Empire in which the territory of modern Artsakh became part of karabakh province .

The Armenian princes continued to rule autonomously in the Karabakh plateau during this time. By the middle of the 18th century, the entire Karabakh became a khanate or semi-independent province called the Karabakh Khanate that lasted for about 75 years.

The Russian Empire entered this region in 1805, and declared Artsakh a protectorate of Russia and formally annexed the territory from Iran in 1813 in accordance with the Gulistan Treaty. The Armenian prince lost his status as a prince or melik in 1822.

Following the collapse of the Russian Empire during World War I, Transcaucasia became a stage of war between every political entity that emerged in the region such as Armenia , Azerbaijan , and Georgia and their neighboring Ottoman Empire.

The newly formed Republic of Armenia on May 28, 1918 claimed most of the Karabakh plateau , which was also claimed by the newly formed Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.

Aid from the Republic of Armenia to Karabakh was limited as they fought against the enemy on all fronts, but the Armenian forces in Zangezur and the region formerly known as khachen or artsakh managed to maintain their control of their territory and consistently resist attacks from azerbaijan and quell muslim uprisings from within.

Azerbaijan maintains control over the Karabakh lowlands and some areas between Zangezur and Artsakh. After the collapse of the ottoman empire, the British empire placed itself in azerbaijan and advocated that all Karabakh including zangezur and artsakh should be part of azerbaijan until the border could be decided peacefully at the upcoming paris peace conference in 1919.

But it turned out that the fighting did not stop, until the troops of the red army from russia began to recapture the former territory of the Russian Empire and created azerbaijani soviet.out of the azerbaijani democratic republic in 1920.

The fall of azerbaijan gave armenians the opportunity to unite decently with the armenian warriors in zangezur and artsakh, but they were taken over by the Red Army on 26 May 1920. And the remnants of the armenians fell into the hands of the red army shortly thereafter.

In December 1920 under soviet pressure, the central authorities issued a statement that karabakh, zangezur, and nakhchivan were all transferred to armenian control. Stalin announced the decision on December 2, but azerbaijani leader Narimanov later rejected the decision.

In 1921, Joseph stalin officially moved the armenian-populated karabakh plateau to soviet azerbaijan to try to appease the turks, although the majority of zangezur remained in soviet armenia.

Under these circumstances, soviet armenia and soviet azerbaijan were incorporated into the soviet union on December 20, 1922. The inclusion of artsakh into soviet azerbaijan caused an uproar among the armenians, which led to the creation of a nagorno-karabakh autonomy oblast in soviet azerbaijan on July 7, 1923 and was implemented in November 1924.

Although the armenians in nagorno-karabakh continued to want reunification with the armenians, the conflict was largely dormant during the soviet era. During the dissolution of the USSR , the nagorno-karabakh conflict was revitalized.

The armenians in nagorno-karabakh declared their independence as a mountainous karabakh republic with a view to reuniting with the newly independent armenians.

The declaration was rejected by the also newly independent Azerbaijan , which led to the Nagorno-Karabakh War on February 20, 1988 to May 12, 1994, which resulted in a ceasefire in May 1994, and the de facto independence of the artsakh republic, whose territory remains internationally recognized as part of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

There is one unique rule in the country, which indicates that liechtensteins value their quiet time. The regulations were written in pamphlets addressed to new immigrants. That it is strictly forbidden to mow the lawn or hold other noisy activities during the hours of the lunch break, which last from noon at 12:00 to 13:30.

The same is true after 10 p.m. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, that liechtenstein is a small country, this country is even slightly smaller than the city of bandung. By area, liechtensteim is the 4th smallest country in europe and 6th in the world.

And in the constitution of liechtenstein, every municipality has the right to secede from the state if its inhabitants choose to separate August 15th is the national day of liechtenstein, or what is called the staatsfeiertag.

On that date the grand prince hans-adam II as head of state, and his son prince allois, invited the entire population of his small kingdoms to attend a feast in the garden of the vaduz castle, that is, the residence of the noble ancestors.

The entire liechtenstein can be rented for 70,000 USD a day. In 2011, the entire country was advertised on the airbnb platform. The scheme was created by liechtenstein-based marketing firms and airbnbs.

With that kind of money, you can have a symbolic key to the state and customized road signs, and taste wine with the prince. American rapper snoop dogg once attempted to hire this country for a video shoot but was turned down because he didn't provide enough captions.

The etymology of the name belarusian is closely related to the term belaya rus, The name rus itself is often equated with the Latin form of the words russia and ruthenia, so belarusians are often referred to as white russia or white ruthenia.

The first use of the term white russia to refer to belarus occurred in the late 16th century by the englishman sir jerome horsey, known for his close contact with the royal courts of russia.

During the 17th century, tsarist Russia used the term white rus to describe the lands added from the grand duchy of Lithuania. The design of the flag consists of 2 main colors namely red and green accompanied by an ornament pattern placed on the side of the flagpole.

This national flag design was officially introduced in 2012 adapted from a design approved in a referendum in 1995. The design of the flag itself replaces the old flag design of belarus when the country was part of the soviet union Although there is no official interpretation for the color of the flag, the explanation given by president alexander lukashenko is that the red color on the flag symbolizes the freedom and sacrifice of the ancestors of the nation, while the green color symbolizes life.
