In almost every country in Asia there is a significant proportion of people living in poverty and suffering from chronic malnutrition. Not only the extremely populous countries like India or China are faced with the challenge of giving millions of people sufficient access to food, medical care, housing, education and work opportunities every year. These problems are greatest in countries with a low level of development, for example Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Afghanistan. Russia and Georgia, whose populations are declining, occupy a special position in Asia.
Asia Political Overview
Most of the Asian states only received their current borders after the Second World War, when many countries were granted independence by the former colonial powers. In the former British India, long-standing conflicts between Hindus and Muslims led to the division into the states of India and Pakistan in 1947. The countries of Myanmar (Burma), Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, which were occupied by Japan in World War II, were also granted autonomous status. Korea, which has also belonged to Japan since 1910, was divided into North and South Korea in 1948. Against the backdrop of the Cold War, there was a whole series of bloody conflicts in Asia, such as the Korean, Indochina and Vietnam wars. In 1954 Indochina was divided into the sovereign states of Laos, Cambodia and North and South Vietnam; In 1976 Vietnamese reunification took place under communist rule. In the Chinese civil war, the communists achieved victory after 1945. The country became a people’s republic in 1949 and at the same time rose to become a great power. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to the emergence of numerous new states in Central Asia, the Caucasus and Eastern Europe.
