The battles of the First World War between great world powers opened new frontiers in the international war. From 1914 to 1918, many horrible battles were experienced during the First World War.

The assassination of Archduke François Ferdinand by 1918 at the hands of Gavrilo Princip, aged X, is considered to be the catalyst for the outbreak of war. Throughout the war, the world’s central powers fought terrible battles, compounded by the relatively recent invention of the machine gun. In this list, we look at some of the battles of war that have had deep lasting repercussions.

10. Battle of Tannenberg (August 1914)

The month of August of the 1914 battle of Tannenberg took place between Russian and German soldiers. It is remarkable to be the first battle of the war to be fought on the Eastern Front. The Russian army was under the command of Grand Duke Nicolas, who had come to the aid of French soldiers attacked by the Germans. Although it was predicted that the Russian army would have a slippery victory, given that it was larger and more powerful, the Germans did rule. By the end of the month, the Germans had taken 92,000 prisoners and destroyed half of the 2nd Russian army. The Germans then turned to General Rennenkampf’s army in September and drove it out of East Prussia.

In total, the Russians lost about 250,000 men and military equipment. The only positive element of the battle of Tannenberg was to prevent the Germans from attacking France. This allowed the French to counter the attacks of the first battle of the Marne.

9. First Battle of Marne (September 1914)

In September 1914, the first battle of the Marne marked the end of the German incursions in France and the start of the trench warfare so widely associated with the First World War. Alfried Von Schlieffen, the German marshal, devised a plan to conquer France by his armies which invaded him from Lille. The army then turned west near the English Channel before turning south to cut the French retreat. If the plan worked, the German armies surrounded the French army in the north and captured Paris. But a French offensive in Lorraine thwarted the attack of the Germans and threw the French on a fortified barrier. The French defense was strengthened and they sent their troops to strengthen the left flank. German troops

When the German 1st army, led by general Alex von Kluck, targeted points north of Paris, they had to pass through the Marne valley and thus cross the French defenses. On September 3, French general Joseph Joffre ordered the French retreat to stop, but three days later, he strengthened the left flank and launched an offensive. This forced General Kluck to stop his advance to support his weak flank at Meaux. When on September 9, German Ambassador Bernhard Bullow learned that British forces were advancing between his 2nd army and the 1st army, he ordered Kluck’s men to withdraw. A counterattack by the French and British armies 5th and 6th led to the first battle of the Marne. This forced the Germans in combat not to have to fall back around September 11 and to withdraw north along the Basse-Aisne. By saving Paris from the German capture and pushing them 45 km away, it was a great strategic victory for France and allowed them to continue the war.

8. Battle of Gallipoli (1915-1916)

For eight months, the 1915-1916 battle of Gallipoli was launched by British, French, Indian, New Zealand, Australian and Canadian forces to eliminate those of the Turkish Ottoman Empire alongside Germany. The British and its allies planned to sail a huge fleet in the 65-mile Dardanelles, which linked the Mediterranean and Istanbul, the Ottoman capital they planned to capture. The plan was to force the Ottoman Empire to surrender. The plan failed miserably in part because of the fleet of obsolete allies and the numerous ships sunk by Ottoman cannons and mines. A young admiral, Winston Churchill, who planned the attack, was humiliated.

The Battle of Gallipoli saw the victims of 58,000 Allied soldiers. These included 29,000 British and Irish soldiers and 11,000 Australians and New Zealanders. There were also about the Ottoman Turkish troops who died and about the wounded 300,000 soldiers on each side. The Battle of Gallipoli was immortalized in the 1981 film Gallipoli with Mel Gibson. The Ottoman victory propelled Lieutenant Colonel of the 19th Turkish division Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. He later became the founding father of the modern Turkish Republic in 1923.

7. Battle of Jutland (spring of 1916)

Considered the biggest naval battle of the First World War, during the 31st of May and the 1st of June in 1916, the battle of Jutland opposed the British to the German fleet with their alleged battleships “dreadnought”. It was a bloody battle involving 250 ships and 100,000 troops. The battle took place in the North Sea and the German admiral Reinhard Scheer planned to recruit both Admiral Sir David Beatty Battlecruiser Force and the Grand Fleet of Admiral Sir John Jellicoe. Scheer’s plan was to destroy Beatty’s strength before Jellicoe’s arrival. This was thwarted when the British were alerted by their code breakers and placed their forces on the high seas, according to the records of the Imperial War Museum.

The Germans destroyed Beatty’s flagship, the HMS Lion , and also sank HMS Indefatigable and HMS Queen Mary. They exploded after German shells hit their ammunition stores. Beatty’s defeat withdrew until Jellicoe arrived with the main fleet. The outlawed Germans withdrew to their homes. The British lost 14 ships and suffered 6000 losses, while the Germans lost 11 ships and 2500 men. Therefore, the Germans never seriously challenged British control of the North Sea. He also ensured British control of the shipping lanes, which enabled Britain to put in place a blockade which resulted in the defeat of Germany in 1918. The Battle of Jutland has been described in several documentaries, notably by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in 2016.

6. Battle of Verdun (1916)

The Battle of Verdun, which began on the 21st in February and ended on the 19th on December 12, was one of the longest and wildest of all the battles of the First World War. Nearly three quarters of the French army participated in this battle. According to reports from the Verdun Memorial Museum, the German army, commanded by General Erich Von Falkenhayn, began attacking French forts and trenches with artillery fire. The general intended to end the trench war that began in 1916 to allow his troops to move. In the early days, the Germans crossed the French front lines and took control of Fort Douaumont without fighting. However, the French infantry, despite heavy bombardments, did not leave its positions and pushed back the Germans. French General Henri Pétain is appointed to defend Verdun and command the troops. It increased the volume of traffic on the road from Bar-le-Duc to Verdun, which brought men, basic supplies and artillery to the battlefield. About 1200 trucks, 1914 cars, 4000 ambulances, 2000 buses and vans. This ensured that when 800 March 200, when the Germans attacked on the left bank of the Meuse, regardless of the intense battles on Le Mort Homme that spanned April, they could not cross the French front. But by the end of June, the Germans had captured Fort Vaux. It increased the volume of traffic on the road from Bar-le-Duc to Verdun, which brought men, basic supplies and artillery to the battlefield. About 1200 trucks, 1914 cars, 4000 ambulances, 2000 buses and vans. This ensured that when 800 March 200, when the Germans attacked on the left bank of the Meuse, regardless of the intense battles on Le Mort Homme that spanned April, they could not cross the French front. But by the end of June, the Germans had captured Fort Vaux. It increased the volume of traffic on the road from Bar-le-Duc to Verdun, which brought men, basic supplies and artillery to the battlefield. About 1200 trucks, 1914 cars, 4000 ambulances, 2000 buses and vans. This ensured that when 800 March 200, when the Germans attacked on the left bank of the Meuse, regardless of the intense battles on Le Mort Homme that spanned April, they could not cross the French front. But by the end of June, the Germans had captured Fort Vaux. 2000 buses and vans. This ensured that when 800 March 200, when the Germans attacked on the left bank of the Meuse, without worrying about the intense battles on Le Mort Homme which spanned April, they could not cross the French front. But by the end of June, the Germans had captured Fort Vaux. 2000 buses and vans. This ensured that when 800 March 200, when the Germans attacked on the left bank of the Meuse, without worrying about the intense battles on Le Mort Homme which spanned April, they could not cross the French front. But by the end of June, the Germans had captured Fort Vaux.

On July 13, the French and the British launched an offensive on the Somme, thereby relieving German pressure on the French troops in Verdun. The Germans tried to take control of Verdun in July on 1 and 11 and failed. In autumn 12, the French trading post attacked and retook Fort Douaumont and, a few days later, entered Fort Vaux, which the Germans had deserted. From December 1916 to 15th, the French attacked and almost regained the territory they had lost since February 18st. After the end of the battle, there were over 21,000 victims – 700,000 dead or missing and about 305,000 wounded on both sides.

5. Battle of Passchendaele (1917)

Also called the third battle of Ypres, the battle of Passchendaele acquired notoriety not only for its numerous victims, but also for the widespread mud. This battle took place in Ypres, a city located along the British lines. Marshal Douglas Haig wanted a British offensive in Flanders after warning that a German blockade would paralyze British war efforts. He wanted to go to the Belgian coast and destroy the German submarines stationed there. The British were stimulated by the success of an attack on Messines Ridge on June 13 and its capture. British infantry began attacking the 1917st of July at Ypres. The constant bombardment transformed the clay into soil and destroyed the drainage systems. The left wing of the attack was successful unlike the right wing. In the next few days, the most abundant rains of the 31s turned loose soil into mud that blocked guns and stopped the movement of tanks. Many men and horses drowned in this mud.

As of August 16, British attacks resumed without result. There was a deadlock for a month, but when weather conditions improved, attacks resumed on September 20. The battles of Menen, Road Ridge and Polygon Wood on September 26, as well as the Battle of Broodseinde on October 4, enabled the British to capture the ridge east of Ypres. On November 13, the little that was left of the village of Passchendaele was captured by British and Canadian forces. This gave Haig an excuse to stop the offensive and claim victory. This was despite the fact that Passchendaele was less than five miles beyond the offensive led by Haig. The Battle of Passchendaele, which lasted three months, had 6 British and Allied casualties and 325,000 German casualties.

4. Battle of Caporetta (Fall of 1917)

Also known as the 12th Battle of Isonzo, the Battle of Caporetta saw Austro-Hungarian and German forces break through Italian defenses north of Isonzo after catching the Italian soldiers by surprise. The Italian defeat resulted in the dismissal of Luigi Cadorna as chief of staff and a change of government. When Austria and its Hungarian allies were crushed in Gorizia after the 11th battle of Iszozo led by Cadorna, their commander Arz Von Straussenberg asked the assistance of the German Third Supreme Command led by Paul von Hindenbrug and Erich Ludendorff to lead a combined operation. When Cadorna crossed deserters and an aerial reconnaissance learned of the Germans’ involvement, he canceled his own attacks in mid-September 1917 and adopted a defensive position. Six German divisions under the command of Otto vob Below completed the three divisions of the Austrian Supreme Army.

The Germans chose a line 25 in front of Caporetta, north of Gorizia, along Isonzo, as the preferred point of attack where the Italians were weak for the combined offensive. Italian commander Luigi Capello was ordered to prepare a line of defense but massed his troops to attack the southern flank of the von Below army, east of Gorizia. 2 in Tolmino, at 24 October 13, the combined Austrian, Hungarian and German forces attacked and surprised the Italians. The assault immediately crossed the lines of the second Italian army. By the end of the day, German, Austrian, and Hungarian forces had crossed the 1917 kilometers and violated the Italian lines, using grenades and flame throwers, and adopting undercover tactics. Below the attacks on the Tagliamento river endangered much of the Italian forces, which led Capello to recommend his withdrawal, but was canceled by Cadorna. Cadorna made most of the Italian forces cross the river which lasted four days to peak on the 25th of October, 30. The supplies to the Austrians, the Hungarians and the Germans were starting to run out and they could not launch a new one offensive. As a result, Cadorna ordered Italian forces to withdraw to the Piave river. The Italians suffered losses in 1917 of which 300,000 percent were prisoners. As a result, Cadorna was sacked and Marshal Armando Diaz replaced him. A new Prime Minister, Vittorio Orlando, took office and replaced the outgoing President, Paolo Boselli.

3. Battle of Cambrai (1917)

The battle of Cambrai, in the north of France, between the British and the Germans, was the first time that battle tanks were used on a large scale in combat. The use of tanks was combined with air power and heavy artillery. The nineteen British divisions assembled were equipped with 20 tanks, 4 of which were battle tanks, supply and service vehicles. The battle began at the dawn of November 1917, 476, when the British Third Army launched an attack targeting the Germans at Cambrai. Initially, eight British divisions attacked three German divisions by surprise and took prisoners 324. The third army, commanded by General Julian Byng, attacked the German defense line Hindenburg, in order to relieve the French forces. Although the British made gains early on, they were overrun by German counterattacks, in part because of the bad weather.

British forces had advanced 5 miles and taken a series of villages. But by the end of the first day, more than half of the British tanks were destroyed. This slowed British progress as the fighting intensified. On October 13, the British reached the summit of Bourlon Ridge. But two days later, the German forces launched a counter-offensive using heavy artillery and using infantry tactics. This forced the British army to withdraw after capturing only the villages of Havrincourt, Ribécourt and Flesquières, according to the Imperial War Museum. The Battle of Cambrai paved the way for the use of sophisticated weapon tactics and armored warfare in the years that followed. The

2. The German offensives on the western front (1918)

In the spring of 1918, German General Erich Ludendorff ordered his forces to attack the Western Front, a strip more than a kilometer across France and Belgium, and from the Swiss border to the North Sea. The Russians contributed 400 troops, the confident Ludendorff commanded. Knowing that a German attack was imminent, the British were strengthening their coasts, as were the French south of the British. But at Cambrai, an incomplete British trench system left a weakness in the British line, led by the Fifth Army commanded by General Hubert Gough. On 500,000st 21 of March, the Germans attacked and, in five hours, fired a million artillery shells at the Fifth Army. The Germans intensified their attacks with soldiers elite armed with large flame throwers who panicked the British. On the first day of the attack, the 1918 British soldiers were captured as the Germans crossed the lines of the Fifth Army. The German attack was the biggest breakthrough in three years of war on the Western Front, and Gough ordered the Fifth Army to withdraw. The British also delivered the Somme region to the Germans. This placed Paris in the target of the Germans as they moved their three Krupp guns which they had used to bomb the miles of Paris 21,000. About 120, shells landed in Paris and residents began to desert the city. Their impulse in Paris made the German emperor Friedrich William II, on March 13, a success with many Germans assuming the war was over. But their advance in Paris by the Germans experienced difficulties because of the little supply they had, bar weapons.

Ludendorff ordered the highly efficient 18th German Army to advance on Amiens, an important railway town, believing that this would harm the British and their allies. But the 18th army broke down in supplies and the horses which were to be used in Amiens advanced and the transports were killed for food. On their way to Amiens, the Germans passed near Albert where hell was unleashed among them while they looted the stores because of hunger. With their discipline over, the advance to Amiens stopped, which shocked Ludendorff, exhausted. The German spring offensive conquered a lot of territory but in March and April, the Germans had 230,000 in losses. These figures were too high for the German army. At the end of March, 1918, 250,000 Americans, joined the Western Front to join their British allies. Their effectiveness was however hampered by their general John Pershing, refusing to have his forces commanded by French or British officers. Despite these conflicts between allies, the German army in June had been weakened by numerous casualties. When Ludendorff, disillusioned, ordered the last German offensive of the First World War in July on 1918 15, the Germans suffered heavy losses at the Marne after a French ambush and a counterattack. From March to July, the Germans had lost a million men. refusing to have forces ordered by French or British officers. Despite these conflicts between allies, the German army in June had been weakened by numerous casualties. When Ludendorff, disillusioned, ordered the last German offensive of the First World War in July on 1918 15, the Germans suffered heavy losses at the Marne after a French ambush and a counterattack. From March to July, the Germans had lost a million men. refusing to have forces ordered by French or British officers. Despite these conflicts between allies, the German army in June had been weakened by numerous casualties. When Ludendorff, disillusioned, ordered the last German offensive of the First World War in July on 1918 15, the Germans suffered heavy losses at the Marne after a French ambush and a counterattack. From March to July, the Germans had lost a million men. the Germans suffered heavy losses at the Marne after a French ambush and a counterattack. From March to July, the Germans had lost a million men. the Germans suffered heavy losses at the Marne after a French ambush and a counterattack. From March to July, the Germans had lost a million men.

1. Battle of the Somme (1916)

From July 1 until November 18 in 1916, a massive joint operation between British and French forces against the Germans took place in the Somme region, in northern France. Nicknamed the Battle of the Somme, French Allied commanders Joseph Joffre and British General Douglas Haig planned in December to counter the German offensive in Verdun. The British led the offensive and faced a German defense developed over several months, according to the archives of the Imperial War Museum. Despite a seven-day bombing before the 1915 attack in July, the British failed to convince General Haig’s military leaders to send men of 1 to capture the German trenches. Sum has been a battle of attrition,

Collectively, the opposing sides saw more than a million wounded, injured, captured or killed. But what blocked the British psyche were the losses suffered by the 57,470 on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, killed by men from the 19,240 army. This made it the bloodiest day in British military history. On that day, the German army also suffered numerous losses at the hands of the French forces stationed in the south of the Somme. According to experts, the losses suffered by the British during the Battle of the Somme were due to the use of untrained volunteers as soldiers and the inadequate artillery used during the seven days of bombing. . The British also underestimated the German boreholes and armed forces, German forces hardened in these trenches. German forces were thus able to regroup, counter the attacks and retake much of the lost territory. In five months, more than a million soldiers from the French, British and German armies had been killed or injured.

Each year, the United Nations (UN) collects a report on the happiness levels of all countries in the world. Happiness is not a quantifiable factor. It is therefore extremely difficult to measure. However, the UN uses several indicators which give a fairly informative idea of ​​the level of satisfaction or satisfaction of people. Among the indicators used in the compilation of the report are, among others, income, social support, confidence, freedom, generosity and life expectancy. Prior to 2018, the report did not include the happiness levels of immigrants. However, in 2018, happiness immigrants were calculated and included in the report.

Happiest countries in 2018

The Nordic countries such as Finland, Norway and Denmark occupy the first places as the happiest nations on the planet in 2018. Finland, which occupied the fifth position in the 2017 ranking, occupies the first place. Previously, Norway was in second place while Denmark, previously second, was in third position. The third and fourth places from last year, respectively in Iceland and Switzerland, now occupy positions four and five respectively in 2018. With the exception of Finland, which was fifth last year, the ranking remains the same . From position six to ten to 2018, in the Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and Australia respectively. The rankings are similar to those of 2017.

Finland – The happiest country in the world

Finland has surpassed all other countries in most of the criteria used by the United Nations to prepare the report. Finland, a country of 5.5 million, is also considered the safest and most stable, with the best governance in the world with minimum corruption and maximum social progress. Even with the inclusion of immigrants, Finland still leads the rankings. This position is explained by the fact that Finland has one of the highest taxes in the world. According to the report, most people do not see this as a bad thing. In fact, they believe that the high taxes serve to improve the quality of life of its citizens, including free health care and university education.

Most unhappy countries of 2018

Of the ten counties on the list, seven of them come from Africa. These countries include Malawi, Liberia, Rwanda, Tanzania, South Sudan, the Central African Republic and Burundi. Incredibly, some African countries (Rwanda, Tanzania, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Burundi) are below Syria in this ranking, a country plagued by civil war.

The biggest gains and losses

Despite the low score of African states, an African country is the biggest winner. Togo has gained an incredible number of places 18 from the bottom of the 2017 ranking to become the most improved. Latvia and Bulgaria are other high-growth countries. The biggest loser of 2018 is Venezuela, with an even bigger drop than that of Syria.

Three world economic powers, namely the United Kingdom, China and the United States, also present interesting data. The United States fell from four places in the 2016 ranking to 18 ^th place in 2018. The drop has been attributed to epidemic diseases such as obesity, depression and addiction. In 19 ^th The place is in the United Kingdom while China has stagnated with the reduction of happiness levels.

World Happiness Day

The first report was published in 2012 the same year that International Day of Happiness was created by law of the United Nations. International Happiness Day is celebrated annually on March 13. All 20 member states adopted the resolution with the aim of recognizing happiness as a basic human need.

The happiest countries in the world, 2018

Eagles are birds of prey synonymous with strength, power and tenacity. They are graceful birds used as national symbols in many countries such as the United States and Japan. In the avian kingdom, eagles are at the top of the food chain. Their ability to adapt to endemic environments has made them very efficient birds in terms of prey hunting and resistance to the most difficult environmental conditions. These heavily constructed birds have attracted interest from scientists and researchers who are studying their unique habitats and adaptations. Below are some of the largest eagles in the world in terms of overall length, wingspan and body mass.

1. Haast’s Eagle

The Haast’s eagle is currently an extinct species that once lived on the southern islands of New Zealand. It was the largest eagle to have lived in its time and the most ferocious predator in its ecosystem. It had wings suitable for flapping and maneuvering in dense forest vegetation. The Haast’s eagle has attacked flightless birds such as the moa. This giant eagle weighed up to 17.8 kg and had a wingspan of 3 meters. Due to its large size and the continuous decline of flightless birds, it reached the maximum size limit during evolution, which ultimately led to its extinction.

5 Hardest School launches in the United States

The surface of the earth is mainly located at sea level or below sea level, because X% of our planet is covered with water. It is interesting to note that today, many areas of the earth are submerged by 71 several years ago, during the great ice age, above the water level. It was because the sea level was then below 18,000. These are caused by depressions below the sea, including those that originate from tectonic plates whose centers open or deform, while some are volcanic. Some of our larger desert areas are particularly prone to being lower, where water evaporation was once the greatest.

Most of the depressions listed below have depths that change constantly with changing rainfall patterns, water evaporation, human water consumption, flooding and river flows and neighboring streams. Depressions with lakes or rivers can sometimes disappear or reappear, depending on seasonal variations in the supply of water from natural sources. There are others among the lowest on earth which are both below sea level and covered with ice. The points which do not appear in this list are the points located on the ocean floor or in the caves, because we have only listed the exposed grounds. Even some of the largest cities in the world are found below sea level, including Bangkok, Amsterdam and New Orleans. These, however, cannot be compared in terms of the depth at which the lands listed below can claim to reach.

10. Salton Sea, USA, feet -227

The tenth place belongs to the Salton depression, located between the United States and Mexico. It is located 69, a few meters below sea level, just two meters from the lowest point in the United States, the Death Valley, not so far away.

9. Vpadina Akchanaya, Turkmenistan, feet -266

Ninth place belongs to the Akchanaya depression. This is located in Turkmenistan, and is 81 meters below sea level. Its location is in the Karakum Desert, one of the driest areas in the country.

8. Death Valley, USA, feet -282

Eighth is Death Valley, which is located in one of the warmest deserts in the United States. It’s 86 meters below sea level. Sometimes heavy rains cause flash floods, which in turn cause a lake to form at the bottom of the desert valley.

7. Laguna del Carbon, Argentina, feet -344

Seventh place goes to the Argentinian nation, which is home to the Great San Julian Depression. It is located 105 meters below sea level and located in the Laguna del Carbon. The latter includes salt marshes and is also known as the lowest of the southern and western hemispheres.

6. Denakil, Ethiopia, feet -410

Our sixth place goes to the Denakil depression, located in Ethiopia. It is in the Indian, Arab and African Afar Depression, caused by the movements of the three tectonic plates. It is 125 meters below sea level.

5. Vpadina Karagiye, Kazakhstan, feet -433

Fifth place goes to the depression of Vpadina Karagiye. Its location is in the southwestern part of Kazakhstan. It is 132 meters below sea level, located in a landlocked country that was a former satellite of the Soviet Union.

4. Qattara Depression, Egypt, feet -435

Fourth place goes to the Qattara depression in Egypt. It is located 133 meters below sea level and located in the Libyan desert of Egypt. The region has some nomadic tribes who use it as a breeding ground.

3. Turpan Pendi, China, feet -505

The third row is a unique place in China, namely the Turpan Pendi. Located in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region in western China, this depression is 154 meters below sea level. This is considered to be the driest and warmest place in China.

2. Lake Assal, Djibouti, feet -509

Our second site belongs to Lake Assal in Djibouti, which is also the saltiest lake on the planet. Located in the Afar depression and 155 meters below sea level, the lake has some of the driest and warmest weather on earth. Assal straddles the Indian, Arab and African tectonic plates.

1. Dead Sea, Israel / Jordan, feet -1360

The title of the lowest place in the world goes to the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is located in a depression straddling three countries, namely Jordan, Israel and Syria, which also includes the Jordan River and the Sea of ​​Galilee. It is also part of communities in several countries and some of their most important cultivated agricultural land. Although the rain and evaporation are constantly changing levels, some of its banks are still 413 meters below the water level.

Several countries around the world have experienced declining populations. The list below includes 19 countries that have experienced negative population growth rates. Many of the countries on the list are located in Europe, with a few exceptions, such as Syria and Japan. Data from verifiable sources such as the UN, the World Bank and the CIA Factbook indicate that between 2005 and 2015, countries like Andorra, Syria, Lithuania, Georgia and Latvia experienced negative population growth due to to different factors. All three data sources defined population as the number of all residences, regardless of citizenship or legal status, not including refugees.

Countries with declining populations

Andorra

During this period, the poorly understood population of Andorra recorded a population growth rate of -3.61%. With a population of around 77,281 (2016), the country is the eleventh-smallest in population and the sixteenth-smallest in the world. Although Andorra had the highest life expectancy in the world in 2013 (81 years) and is very rich, negative population growth is a by-product of several factors. To begin with, two-thirds of the population is not a citizen and, as a result, the government has become selective in admitting more people to the country. Second, Andorra has a low birth rate, babies 7.8 among all residents of 1,000, making it number 223 globally in terms of child births.

Syria

UN data puts the growth of the Syrian population at -2.27%. This trend is unusual because Syria has always been a fertile country with positive population growth, in addition to accepting a large number of refugees from different Arab and Muslim countries. However, things changed in 2011 after the country plunged into civil war, resulting in the displacement of almost half the population and the fact that more than 4 million Syrians were refugees in other countries. The civil war also had an impact on the country’s fertility, life expectancy and immigration. Before the war, Syria had about a year of births compared to 500,000. Among the other factors behind the negative number,

Lithuania

As of 2017, Lithuania had around 2.8 million inhabitants and a population growth of -1.63% by 2015. The main population challenge of Lithuania is emigration, since the country has a large party politician elected on the ideology of the exclusive fight against emigration. Hundreds of thousands of productive young Lithuanians leave the country, causing a “brain drain” that poses challenges for planners, politicians and decision-makers. Since the beginning of 1990, Lithuania has lost around a quarter of its population and the rate has increased after the EU joined a region which has lost up to 50 in countries like Britain. faster population decline. Those who leave cite a stagnant economy, a lack of political growth in the economy, low wages and hostile social policies such as home ownership. Current research shows that the elderly and people of low socioeconomic status dominate the population due to selective migration leading to socio-spatial polarization in certain regions where life is most fruitful.

Reasons for population decline

There are several other countries with declining populations, including Georgia (-1.21%), Latvia (-1.18%) and Romania (-0.79%). The reasons for overlapping negative population growth in these countries are low fertility, family planning, the difficult economic situation leading to poverty and unemployment, high emigration rate, insecurity like high crime rate and wars, bad weather and natural disasters. .
