Which country does the Mediterranean belong to?

The Mediterranean Sea is an intercontinental sea, and its regional scope does not belong to the territorial scope of a certain country. On the contrary, its coast contains many countries, including:

1, European countries: Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Malta, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania and Greece.

2. Asian countries: Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestinian self-government.

3. African States: Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.

The Mediterranean Sea is located at the junction of the Eurasian plate and the African plate, with the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the Black Sea in the east through the Strait of Gibraltar. The western end is connected with the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar, the northeast is connected with the Black Sea through the Daniil Strait-Marmarahy-Bosporus Strait, and the southeast is connected with the Red Sea through the Suez Canal opened in the19th century.

Extended data:

The countries bordering the Mediterranean formed an alliance, that is, the "Union for the Mediterranean".

The alliance was first put forward by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and its concept originated from the "Barcelona process" established at the Barcelona meeting on1October 27th.

That is, the EU has established cooperative relations with Mediterranean countries, including Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Syria, Turkey and other countries in North Africa and the Middle East, as well as the Palestinian National Authority in the fields of economy, energy, immigration and democracy.

The geographical position of the Mediterranean region is very important, especially in economic, political and military aspects. For a long time, the Mediterranean has been a battleground for big countries.

Since the Second World War, the Sixth Fleet of the United States has been stationed in the Mediterranean Sea, and the fleets of other western countries have also been cruising in this sea area. Judging from the number of ships, today's Mediterranean has become the most concentrated sea area for warships of western military powers.
