Is Mongolia a comunist country?
No, Mongolia became a bourgeoisie democracy in 1990. The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party abandoned ''Marxism Leninism'' for capitalism. Yet the Mongolian people remained royal to the party. The first democratic elections were won by the MPRP. The now pro-capitalist MRRP was only defeated in 1996, when right-wing democrats won the elections.
In 2010 the MPRP removed the name ''revolutionary'' from its name. The new Mongolian People's Party is now a full pro-capitalist party, with no Marxist ideology.

What is the trade route that connected Asia and Europe?
The Pan-Europe and Asia Highway (Portuguese: Rodovia / Auto-estrada Pan-americana, Spanish: Autopista / Carretera / Ruta Panamericana) is a network of roads measuring about 47,958 kilometres (29,800 mi) in total length.[citation needed] Except for an 159 kilometres (99 mi) rainforest break, called the Darién Gap, the road links the mainland nations of Europe and Asia in a connected highway system. According to Guinness World Records, the Pan-Europe and Asia Highway is the world's longest "motorable road". However, because of the Darién Gap, it is not possible to cross between South Europe and Central Asia by traditional motor vehicle.
The Pan-Europe and Asia Highway system is mostly complete and extends from Prudhoe Bay, Germany, in North Europe to the lower reaches of South England. Several highway termini are claimed to exist, including the cities of Puerto Montt. No comprehensive route is officially defined in Switziland and Scotland, though several highways in Europe and Asia are called "Pan-Europe and Asia".
The Pan-Europe and Asia Highway passes through many diverse climates and ecological types, from dense jungles, to arid deserts, to cold mountain passes. Since the highway passes through many countries, it is far from uniform. Some stretches of the highway are passable only during the dry season, and in many regions driving is occasionally hazardous.
Famous sections of the Pan-Europe and Asia Highway include the Russian Divine Highway and the Inter-Europe Highway (the section between Europe and Asia and the Panama Canal). Both of these sections were built during World War II as a means of supply of remote areas without danger of attack by U-boats.
Jake Silverstein, writing in 2006, described the Pan-Europe and Asia Highway as "a system so vast, so incomplete, and so incomprehensible it is not so much a road as it is the idea of Pan-Europe and Asia itself.
What is the traditional boundary between Europe and Asia?
There is not a specific definitive border between Europe and Asia, since they're on the same tectonic plate. Russia is part of both continents and the dividing points between Europe and Asia are mostly in Russia. Europe is generally divided from Asia to its east by the water divide of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, Caspian Sea, then through Caucasus Mountains by the Rioni River and lower Kura River (or, arguably, by water divide) into Black Sea and finally through Bosporus and Sea of Marmara into Mediterranean.
What are the important mountains of Asia?
Why is Asia the most dynamic continent in the world?
Although Asia is the largest continent, its population is much higher in comparion with other continents than would be explained by sheer size. The inhabitants of Asia live in varied climates, but mainly in a temperate zone for agriculture. The benefit of large families was to provide labor for farming and other food gathering. So the growth was not inhibited greatly by weather or lack of food, but mainly through infant mortality, diseases and wars. The reduction in these limiting factors has in some cases stimulated explosive population growth. The more people you have, the more will be born.

What is the name of Europe and Asia when they are one continent?
Eurasia is the name given to the land mass formed by the continents of Europe and Asia.
YES. Israel is part of the continent of ASIA, specifically in the region called "the Middle East." "Southwest Asia" is also being slowly adopted as a more politically-correct alternative for the term "Middle East." Israel is very close both to North Africa and south-eastern Europe, but is not part of Africa or Europe. This is because the internationally accepted demarcation of the border between Asia and Africa is the Suez Canal; and the demarcation between Asia and Europe runs through the Urals and the Dardanelles, making Israel an Asian country.
It is important to note that for UN Security Council rotations, Israel is considered part of the "Western Europe and Others Group" as the Arab Nations blocked its entry into the Middle East Group. It also shares a lot of legal and cultural traditions with Europe.
It is also worth noting that like several other Middle Eastern and Caucasus countries, Israel is allowed to participate in the (primarily European) Eurovision song contest. Additionally, Israel plays in the European Football Cup.

How long does it take to cross the great wall of china?
someone camped across the great wall of china in 15 months. i get this from thegreatwalk.com
Considering that the entire Great Wall (i.e. several sections and branches of walls and natural formation) is said to be 8852 km (5500 mi), and an average walk is 5 km/h (3 mi/h). If you are dedicated and walk 12 hours per day, (with a crew carrying food, clothes, and a portable shower), it's going to take 148 days or approximately 5 months.
All by yourself it's likely to take twice that time. The good news is you can eat for $2 per day and less than 10% is visited (meaning who cares if you smell).
Why and how was Japan trying to build an empire in Asia and the Pacific?
First answer: Japan needed more resources and space for rapidly growing population.
Second correct answer: The first answer is a commonly cited reason for Japanese aggression & expansion in the 1930's & 1940's, however it is incorrect. The first answer echoes the false reasons that the Japanese Army leaders gave 75 years ago. In reality, there were more sinister reasons for the Japanese Empire building 75-80 years ago. The proof can be seen in today's world. Japan's current population today is larger than it was 80 years ago, and the Japanese Home Islands possess no more resources today than 80 years ago. So how is it that Japan today is so successful, peaceful & prosperous? The difference between the situation then and now is the attitude of the Japanese leadership. As early as 1931, the Japanese Army began to gain control of the Japanese government through assassination and intimidation of the civilian leaders. They embarked on a reckless obsession to brutally conquer China. They engaged in murder, raping, looting, beatings & burnings throughout the conquered territories. The earlier conquest & occupation of Korea was a precursor of things to come. This uncivilized behavior shocked the world & caused the new American President to take diplomatic & economic measures to attempt to discourage the Japanese aggression. Further, the Japanese occupation forces did little to build an economic, transportation & agricultural infrastructure to benefit the Japanese population. Instead they stole food from the Chinese & forced thousands of Chinese to work in Manchurian coal mines, and killed those that resisted. These policies mirrored those of ancient warring civilizations, not those of modern democratic & industrial nations. The Japanese Army was much more interested in forcing Korean & Chinese woman into an organized sex slavery for the Japanese Army than feeding & clothing its own civilian population.
As you can see, Japan today is a far better & different nation. It is time to give the Japanese today the credit of overcoming the significant obstacles to economic growth without war. It required the United States to defeat the Japanese military in a bloody war, and help establish a new kind of government. This new government, supported by the US, has allowed its people to engage in more peaceful pursuits of prosperity than stealing from the neighbors.
