The Belarus land is located in the Eastern part of Europe. To the east of Belarus lies Russia, while Poland lies to the west of Belarus. The Belarus land is bordered by Ukraine in the south and Latvia and Lithuania in the north. The forest areas cover one third of the land of Belarus. Since the end of the Second World War following its treaty for the United Nations founding, manufacturing industry has been the base of the economy of Belarus. The people of Belarus are largely dependent on the manufacturing industries till date. Belarus saw a large scale of immigration from the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic in the post World War II session. The immigrants were attracted by the job openings in the manufacturing industries in Belarus. Agriculture also forms one of the bases of the rich economy of Belarus.
During the World War II, the people of Belarus, Russia were divided into factions. Some of them supported the Nazis, while some had their support for the Soviet Union. There were mass killings of the Belarus civilians by the Nazis in the Second World War.
The other destruction that the Belarus people suffered was the nuclear fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine. About 50 people of Belarus were reported to be dead in that incident. Because of that fallout, Belarus suffered an imbalance in the ecology as well. But the Belarus people bravely fought these incidents and shaped their land and lives beautiful once again.
