Our Blog..: Smallest Country In This World.

Assalamualaikum and good evening.
you guys must know our world is the biggest country right?
well, I'm not going to share about world biggest country but I'm going to share about world smallest country.
Some of our smallest country are Palau, Andorra, Barbados, Nauru, and many more. I'm not going to share about any of them. Because I want to share about Vatican City. It says there Vatican City was about 0.2 square miles. It's population was 770, none of them are permanent resident. Vatican City also known as the Holy See. It is surrounded by Rome, Italy.

The Vatican obelisk was originally taken by Caligula from Heliopolis, Egypt to decorate the spina of his circus and is thus its last visible remnant. This area became the site of martydom of many Chistians after the Great Fire of Rome. Ancient tradition holds that it was in this circus that Saint Peter was crucified upside-down.

Vatican City officially pursued a policy of neutrality during World War II, under the leadership of Pope Pius XII. Although the city of Rome was occupied by Germany from 1943 and the Allies from 1944, Vatican City itself was not occupied. One of Pius XII's main diplomatic priorities was to prevent the bombing of Rome; so sensitive was the pontiff that he protested even the British air dropping of pamphlets over Rome, claiming that the few landing within the city-state violated the Vatican's neutrality. Before the American entry into the war, there was little impetus for such a bombing, as the British saw little strategic value in it.
