Majske Poljane
Majske Poljane is a village in central Croatia, in the municipality/town of Glina, Sisak-Moslavina County. The village's geographic coordinates are , the altitude is 162 meters above sea level. The village was severely affected by the 2020 Petrinja earthquake, with five deaths reported. History Culture The village is within the Serbian Orthodox Church's Eparchy of Upper Karlovac. The Orthodox parish church, dedicated to the Resurrection of Christ, stands on the hill above the village. The one-nave building with a semicircular chapel, high wooden cassette ceilings, vault decorated with figural and plant motifs, and the wooden bell tower, was built no later than 1820. It is very likely that its predecessor, the older wooden church, stood close by and higher up the hill. While the "new church" is a one-room Krajina type of church, it is very traditional in shape and construction of the ceiling and vaults, and is similar to the chapel in Gornje Selište near Glina. The church, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Balkans
The Balkans ( ), also known as the Balkan Peninsula, is a geographical area in southeastern Europe with various geographical and historical definitions. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains that stretch throughout the whole of Bulgaria. The Balkan Peninsula is bordered by the Adriatic Sea in the northwest, the Ionian Sea in the southwest, the Aegean Sea in the south, the Turkish Straits in the east, and the Black Sea in the northeast. The northern border of the peninsula is variously defined. The highest point of the Balkans is Mount Musala, , in the Rila mountain range, Bulgaria. The concept of the Balkan Peninsula was created by the German geographer August Zeune in 1808, who mistakenly considered the Balkan Mountains the dominant mountain system of Southeast Europe spanning from the Adriatic Sea to the Black Sea. The term ''Balkan Peninsula'' was a synonym for Rumelia in the 19th century, the European provinces of the Ottoman Empire. It had a ge ...

Canada
Canada is a country in North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering over , making it the world's second-largest country by total area. Its southern and western border with the United States, stretching , is the world's longest binational land border. Canada's capital is Ottawa, and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. Indigenous peoples have continuously inhabited what is now Canada for thousands of years. Beginning in the 16th century, British and French expeditions explored and later settled along the Atlantic coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces an ...
