In August 1965, the ruling President of Pakistan was General Muhammad Ayub Khan.

• United Kingdom and France both are European countries and disconnected by Dover Strait. Both were the members of European Union but UK has left EU on January 31^st, 2020. Brexit is the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union so now EU has 27 members.

• Dardanelles is located in Turkey that joins Sea of Marmara and Aegean Sea. Turkey is a transcontinental country as its city Istanbul (previous name was Constantinople) is located in Europe and Asia.

• Messina separates Italy from Sicily which is the largest island of Mediterranean Sea. It is a narrow between the eastern tip of Sicily (Punta Del Fero) and the western tip of Calabria (Punta Pezzo) in the south of Italy. It joins the Tyrrhenian with Ionian Sea within the central Mediterranean.

• English Channel is the busiest shipping area in the world. It is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean (Second largest ocean in the world) that separates southern England from Northern France and links to the southern part of the North Sea by the Strait of Dover at its northeastern end. Maximum length is 560 km (350 miles), maximum depth is 174 m (571 ft.) and maximum width is 240 km (150 miles).

• Channel and Strait both are confusing terms. It seems both are same but that’s not a reality. Strait is the narrow body of water that separates two landmarks but connects two big seas for example Strait of Tartary that separates Russian Island of Sakhalin from Mainland Asia and connects Sea of Okhotsk on the north, with the Sea of Japan on the south. Channel is a wide strait or waterway between two landmasses. Channels can be either natural or man-made. For example English Channel, Mozambique Channel etc.
