利比里亚共和国(英语:Republic of Liberia),是非洲的一个国家。处于非洲西部。
利比里亚北接几内亚,西北界塞拉利昂,东邻科特迪瓦,西南濒大西洋。 18世纪初,现在被称作利比里亚的地区被前美国奴隶居住,所以国名在英文有“自由”(liberty)和“解放”(liberated)的意思。 历史 通过美国殖民协会的努力利比里亚于1821年建立。在1822年至19世纪60年代,主要定居者是获得自由的奴隶。利比里亚是非洲最早独立的国家(1847年独立)。首都蒙罗维亚是最大的城市。 政治 主条目:利比里亚政治 行政区域 主条目:利比里亚行政区划 利比里亚共有15个县: 伯米县 Bomi County 邦县 Bong County 巴波卢县Gbarpolu County 大巴萨县 Grand Bassa County 大角山县 Grand Cape Mount County 大各德县 Grand Gedeh County 大克鲁县 Grand Kru County 罗发县 Lofa County 马及比县 Margibi County 玛丽兰县 Maryland County 孟色罗拉多县 Montserrado County 年巴县 Nimba County 河塞斯县 River Cess County 吉河县 River Gee County 习诺县 Sinoe County 地理 利比里亚海岸线长537公里。属热带季风气候,年平均气温约25℃。 人口 利比里亚主要信奉传统宗教、基督教、伊斯兰教。 Its capital is Monrovia. Liberia has a hot equatorial climate with most rainfall arriving in summer with harsh harmattan winds in the dry season. Liberia's populated Pepper Coast is composed of mostly mangrove forests while the sparsely populated inland is forested, later opening to a plateau of drier grasslands. The history of Liberia is unique among African nations, notably because of its relationship with the United States. It is one of the few countries in Africa, and the only country in West Africa, without roots in the European Scramble for Africa. Founded as a colony by the American Colonization Society in 1821-22, it was created as a place for slaves freed in the United States to emigrate to in Africa, on the premise they would have greater freedom and equality there. Slaves freed from slave ships also were sent there instead of being repatriated to their countries of origin. These freed slaves formed an elite group in Liberian society, and, in 1847, they founded the Republic of Liberia, establishing a government modeled on that of the United States, naming Monrovia, their capital city, after James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States and a prominent supporter of the colonization. A military-led coup in 1980 overthrew then-president William R. Tolbert, which marked the beginning of a period of instability that eventually led to a civil war that left hundreds of thousands of people dead and devastated the country's economy. Today, Liberia is recovering from the lingering effects of the civil war and related economic dislocation. |
