The famous Indochina peninsula - a large partSushi, which is located in the southern part of the Far East. On this territory there are many different states, each of which has its own separate history, traditions and racial characteristics. The peninsula received its very unusual name from Europeans. At the time of numerous journeys to the East and expansions, the French and the British found that in the features of the faces of the locals there was something from the Indians and something from the Chinese. That is why it was customary to call these lands Indochina.
In order for the readers to be more clear about whatPart of the world we are talking about, consider where exactly Indochina is located. The peninsula (map attached to the article) bathes in the waters of the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal from the west. The southeast of the continent is washed by the South China Sea and the two bays that belong to it - the Siam and Bekbo. In the south, Indochina ends with an isthmus called Kra, followed by the Malay Peninsula. The northern borders extend from the delta of the Ganges to the delta of the Hongha delta. Note that the Indochina Peninsula is a purely geographical concept. Its borders have nothing to do with the borders of countries that are fully or partially included in it.
The terrain we are considering is different.mountainousness, which provokes uneven rainfall in different regions, as well as constantly changing air temperature. On the plains, which are located closer to the waters of the oceans, is always warm. The local thermometer does not drop below 20 Celsius, and rises to 35 and higher in the hottest months. In the mountainous regions, on the contrary, the air temperature is never higher than +15. The main mountain range in this area is Arokansky, which stretches along the west coast. It includes the highest point of the region - Mount Victoria (height - 3053 meters). The center of the peninsula and its south are completely covered by the mountains of Tanetandzhi, and in the east lies the Annam peaks.
Для начала отметим, что единственная черта, which unites all the states included in Indochina - this is only a small similarity of local cultures. Similar writing, related religions, in some places common traditions and beliefs. For local residents, each difference is very significant, therefore it is impossible to unite all local states with the same brush. To verify this, we list the largest of them. First of all, these are Cambodia, Malaysia, most of Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and a small part of Bangladesh. As you can see, the Indochina Peninsula is very diverse, here there is both a synthesis of various cultures and peoples, and strict boundaries, which are held by local residents and do not violate them.
Преимущественное большинство людей, заселяющих the peninsula is a south Mongoloid race. All of them are characterized by low growth and low weight, a certain fatness, and even belonging to Tibetans. Negritos live in the southern regions of Indochina, as well as a special type - Andaman islanders. Also here you can meet the people of the Khmer, South Tay and Malays, who also inhabit the south of the region. The Indochina Peninsula is one of those places where archaeologists have found the remains of the oldest settlers of our planet. It is also believed that it was from here that people moved to Australia and New Guinea in good faith. Therefore, among the locals you can also find the Australian type, mixed with the features of the continental southern Mongols. Also Indochina peninsula is partially populated by typical Papuans. In some regions, this race has long been assimilated with the local Mongoloid population.
