Coastal countries - successful development. Coastal countries of the world Countries of the world by geographical location continental

The geographical location of the country has always influenced its development, not only economically, but also in general. If we remember the past and pay attention to which states played the most significant role in the development of mankind, then we can notice a certain pattern. These have always been coastal countries. Examples include Phenicia and Ancient Greece, Spain and Portugal, England and France and many others.

Access to the sea and the proximity of world trade routes at certain stages of history brought fundamental changes to the fate of many states. This can be clearly seen in the example of medieval Europe. Maritime countries The Mediterranean, led by Venice, quickly fell into decline after the Turks blocked their access to India. The Atlantic states, taking advantage of their coastal position, were able to quickly rise - first Spain and Portugal did this, and then Holland and France. In a stubborn three-century struggle with them, England was able to win and also turned into a powerful naval power.

The coastal countries of the world, fighting for dominance in the sea, not only made great geographical discoveries of new lands, but also laid out new trade sea routes.

Maritime states of Europe today

Europe was made the center of world civilization by countries located on the coast Mediterranean Sea. States with access to the Atlantic Ocean brought glory to Europe with their Great Geographical Discoveries. The coastal countries in this region continue to play leading roles today.

Most of European countries It has maritime boundaries and is located close to busy sea roads. And this is very important in our time for successful economic development, because the bulk of all transported goods in the world (statistics say that this is almost 90 percent) is transported by sea.

The life of many European powers has always been connected with the sea. Coastal countries such as Great Britain, Iceland, Norway, and Denmark have always been successful in fishing. Some small states are trying to expand their territory at the expense of coastal areas of the seas. The Netherlands was especially successful in this; over several centuries, almost a third of their territory was reclaimed from the sea.

The seaside location is advantageous

The entire history of mankind confirms the old truth that the key to the prosperity of nations is dominance at sea. Enough to remember Ancient Rome, Genoa, Holland, England. Many coastal countries in Asia also serve as proof of this. This applies not only to the past, but also to the present. All the richest countries in the world are washed by the waters of seas and oceans: the USA, Germany, Sweden, Japan, China and many others.

* Moldova has a small section of coast (less than 500 m) at the mouth of the Danube, near the village of Giurgiulesti. At the end of 1996, it began building a commercial port there. But for this you need at least another 4.5 - 5 km coastline on the Danube. Moldova has been unsuccessfully asking Ukraine to cede such a site to it for several years.

The geographical location of a country has a significant impact on the level of its economic development. Most inland non-European countries lag behind in their economic development, because lack of access to the sea makes it difficult for them to carry out foreign economic activities.

Countries can also be classified by area, population and other indicators.
