itämuassa

itämuassa is a Finnish term that translates to "eastern hemisphere" or "eastern world" in English. It refers to the geographical half of the Earth that is east of the Prime Meridian and west of the 180th meridian. This vast region encompasses a diverse range of continents, cultures, and historical developments.

The concept of the eastern hemisphere has been significant throughout history, particularly in relation to exploration, trade, and cultural exchange. Historically, many major civilizations and empires, including those in Asia and Europe, were located within this hemisphere. The Silk Road, a network of trade routes connecting the East and West, is a prime example of the historical connectivity within the eastern hemisphere.

Geographically, the eastern hemisphere includes all of Europe and Africa, the majority of Asia, and parts of Antarctica and Oceania. It is characterized by a wide array of climates, terrains, and natural resources. Major oceans like the Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic oceans are partially or entirely situated within this hemisphere. The eastern hemisphere is home to a significant portion of the world's population and includes many of the most populous countries on Earth. Its historical and ongoing influence on global affairs, economics, and culture remains substantial.
