Malta , , [1] ), ngokusemthethweni iRiphabhlikhi yaseMalta ( ), lilizwe lesiqithi kuMazantsi Yurophu, ekuLwandle lweMeditera . Iqulathe ichwebakazi, phakathi kweItali neLibya . [2] Ihlala kuma 80 kilometres (50 mi) emazantsi eSicily ( eItali ), 284 kilometres (176 mi) kwimpuma yeTunisia, [3] kunye ne 333 kilometres (207 mi) emantla eLibya .


Iilwimi ezisemthethweni ziziMalta kunye nesiNgesi, kwaye i-66% yabemi baseMalta yangoku banolwazi ubuncinane ngolwimi lwesiTaliyane .

IMalta ibimiwe ukusukela malunga ne5900 BC. [4] Indawo yayo embindini weMeditera [5] ngokwembali iyinike ukubaluleka kobuchule njengesiseko somkhosi waselwandle, ngokulandelelana kwamagunya akhuphisanayo kwaye alawula iziqithi, kubandakanya amaFenike kunye namaCarthaginians, amaRoma, amaGrike, ama-Arabhu, amaNorman, amaAragonese., Knights of St. John, French, and British, phakathi kwabanye. [6]

Ngabantu abamalunga nama-516,000 kummandla wama- 316 square kilometres (122 sq mi) , iMalta lilizwe leshumi-elincinci kwihlabathi ngokwengingqi [7] [8] kunye nesine ilizwe elinabantu abaninzi elizimeleyo . Ikomkhulu layo yiValletta, eyona mali incinci yelizwe kwi- European Union ngokwengingqi nabemi. Ngokutsho kwedatha evela kwi-2020 yi -Eurostat, i-Functional Urban Area kunye nommandla we-metropolitan wagubungela sonke isiqithi kwaye unabemi be-480,134, [9] [10] kwaye ngokutsho kweZizwe eziManyeneyo, i- ESPON kunye ne-EU Commission, "indawo yonke IMalta yenza idolophu enye". I-Malta ngokunyukayo ibizwa ngokuba yi- city-state, [11] kwaye ikwadweliswe kuluhlu olubhekiselele kwizixeko okanye imimandla yemetropolitan.

IMalta yaba yikoloni yaseBritane ngo-1813, isebenza njengesikhululo sendlela yeenqanawa kunye nekomkhulu leBritish Mediterranean Fleet . Yayirhangqwe ngamagunya e-Axis ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi kwaye yayisisiseko esibalulekileyo se-Allied ekusebenzeni eMntla Afrika nakwiMeditera. [12] [13] Ipalamente yaseBritane yapasisa uMthetho wokuzimela kweMalta ngo-1964, inika iMalta inkululeko kwi-United Kingdom njengeLizwe laseMalta, kunye no -Elizabeth II njengokumkanikazi wayo. [14] Eli lizwe laba yiriphabliki ngowe-1974. Ibe lilungu leManyano yeZizwe eziManyeneyo kunye neZizwe eziManyeneyo ukusukela ekufumaneni inkululeko, yaza yajoyina i -European Union ngo-2004; yaba yinxalenye yomanyano lwemali lwe-eurozone ngo-2008.

IMalta inamaKristu ukusukela ngexesha lobuKristu bokuqala, nangona ubukhulu becala yayingamaSilamsi ngelixa yayiphantsi kolawulo lwama-Arabhu, ngelo xesha amaKristu ayenyanyezelwa. Ulawulo lwamaSilamsi lwaphela ngokuhlasela kukaNorman eMalta nguRoger I ngo-1091. Namhlanje, ubuKatolika yinkolo yaseburhulumenteni, kodwa uMgaqo-siseko waseMalta uqinisekisa inkululeko yesazela neyonqulo. [15] [16] Uqoqosho lwaseMalta luxhomekeke kakhulu kukhenketho, kwaye ilizwe lizikhuthaza njengendawo yokuya eMeditera kunye nemozulu efudumeleyo xa kuthelekiswa neYurophu iphela, iindawo ezininzi zokuzonwabisa, kunye nezikhumbuzo zezakhiwo kunye nembali, kubandakanywa iindawo ezintathu zeLifa leMveli le-UNESCO : Ħal Saflieni . IHypogeum, [17] iValletta, [18] kunye neetempile ezisixhenxe ze-megalithic ezizezinye zezakhiwo ezindala ezikhululekileyo kwihlabathi. [19] [20]
