dbpprop:abstract
  • Texas (/ˈtɛksəs/) is a state geographically located in the South Central United States and is also known as the Lone Star State. Austin is the state capital. Texas is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population, with an area of 268,820 square miles and a growing population of 23.9 million. Houston is the state's largest city. The Dallas/Fort Worth area is the largest metropolitan statistical area in Texas and the fourth-largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States. Traveling east to west, the landscape of Texas gradually evolves from that of the Deep South into that of the desert Southwest, going from piney woods to semi-forests of oak and cross timbers, into rolling plains and prairie, then finally to desert in the Big Bend. These wide open spaces of the Texas prairie have lent currency to the phrase that "everything is bigger in Texas". Due to its long history as a center of the American cattle industry, Texas is associated throughout much of the world with the image of the cowboy. Historically and culturally, Texas has close ties to the American South. However, having once been both a Spanish and Mexican possession, it can also be classified as a Southwestern state. While residents acknowledge these categories, many claim an independent "Texan" identity superseding regional labels. Spain was the first European country to claim the area of Texas. It was then part of Mexico until 1836 when it became the independent Republic of Texas. In 1845 it joined the United States as the 28th state. The state's annexation was one of a chain of events that led to the Mexican-American War in 1846 and the U.S. Civil War. In the early 1900s, oil discoveries led to an economic boom in the state. Texas has since economically diversified. It has a growing base in high technology, biomedical research and higher education. The state's gross state product is the second-highest in the nation. (en)
  • Le Texas est un État du Sud des États-Unis, le plus vaste du pays après l'Alaska et le deuxième plus peuplé derrière la Californie avec 23,9 millions d'habitants. Sa capitale est Austin mais Houston est l'agglomération la plus peuplée. La moitié de la population, environ, vit dans les agglomérations de Dallas-Fort Worth ou Houston. Le Texas est plus grand que la France métropolitaine et possède des paysages divers organisés selon un gradient est-ouest : ils évoluent des plaines du Sud profond aux déserts du Sud-Ouest américain. Les milieux naturels sont d'une grande richesse : forêts subtropicales, prairies, zones semi-arides et arides se succèdent sur plusieurs centaines de kilomètres. Par son histoire et sa culture, le Texas appartient au Sud américain, même s'il garde des traces de son héritage espagnol et mexicain. Cependant, les Texans revendiquent une identité singulière au sein des États-Unis. La région a d'abord été colonisé par les Espagnols et faisait partie de la Nouvelle-Espagne jusqu'en 1836 lorsqu'elle fut transformée en République du Texas. Elle rejoint les États-Unis en tant que 28 État en 1845. Cette annexion fut l'une des raisons de la guerre américano-mexicaine de 1846 puis de la guerre de Sécession.L'économie du Texas a d'abord reposé sur l'élevage bovin associé à l'image mythique du cow-boy, mise en scène par le cinéma hollywoodien. La découverte du pétrole au début du XX siècle provoqua une formidable croissance. Aujourd'hui, l'économie s'est diversifiée et compte des secteurs dynamiques comme les technologies de pointe, la recherche biomédicale et l'enseignement supérieur. (fr)

  • Texas är en delstat i USA. Texas är såväl till areal som till folkmängd den näst största delstaten. Austin är huvudstad medan Houston är den största staden i Texas. Texas är i folkmedvetandet runt om i världen något av sinnebilden för "Vilda Västern". Texas har genom årens lopp gått under inte mindre än sex olika flaggor, nämligen som del av USA, del av Mexiko, del av Spanien, del av sydstaterna, del av Frankrike och som självständig stat Republiken Texas. Delstatens smeknamn är "Lone Star State". (sv)

  • Texas (suomeksi myös Teksas) on pinta-alaltaan Yhdysvaltain toiseksi suurin osavaltio Alaskan jälkeen ja toiseksi suurin myös väestöltään Kalifornian jälkeen. Texas julistautui itsenäiseksi 1836 ja liittyi Yhdysvaltoihin vuonna 1845 28. osavaltiona. Texasilla on yhteistä rajaa Meksikon kanssa. Idässä Texas rajoittuu Louisinan ja Arkansasin, pohjoisessa Oklahoman ja lännessä Uuden Meksikon osavaltioon. (fi)
  • Il Texas è uno dei cinquanta Stati che compongono gli Stati Uniti d'America. Si trova nella parte meridionale del Paese. La capitale è Austin, ma la città più popolosa è Houston. Il Texas si dichiarò indipendente dal Messico nel 1836 e, per una decina d'anni, è stato una nazione indipendente, col nome di Repubblica del Texas. Entrò a far parte degli Stati Uniti nel 1845, come ventottesimo Stato. Con un territorio di 695. 622 km², è il secondo Stato per superficie nell'Unione, dopo l'Alaska. Con circa 22 milioni di abitanti ed un PIL di 1. 100 miliardi di dollari, il Texas è al secondo posto anche per popolazione ed importanza economica, dopo la California. (it)
  • O Texas é um dos 50 Estados dos Estados Unidos da América, localizado na Região Sudoeste do país. O apelido do Texas é Lone Star State, por causa da estrela solitária na bandeira. A palavra Texas deriva de Tejas, uma palavra indígena que significa "amigos". O Texas é o segundo maior Estado dos Estados Unidos, e é o maior estado americano nos 48 estados dos Estados Unidos continental. Com seus 696 241 km², o Texas é maior do que a Alemanha e a Polónia juntas. O Texas também é o segundo Estado mais populoso do país; com aproximadamente 22 milhões de habitantes, e uma população crescendo rapidamente devido à imigração, o Texas possui mais habitantes do que qualquer outro Estado americano com exceção da Califórnia. Geograficamente, o Texas é um Estado de contrastes. Enquanto as partes norte e leste do Estado estão cobertas por vários rios, lagos e florestas, que possuem um clima propício à agricultura, as partes sul e oeste do estado possuem um clima mais árido, desértico em várias regiões. Foram nestas áreas, escassamente povoadas, onde os cowboys surgiram, com o intuito de cuidar o gado da região, bem como defendê-lo de ataques indígenas. Os cowboys tornaram-se rapidamente um símbolo do estado, e até hoje ainda existem em várias áreas rurais do estado. O Texas foi explorado e colonizado inicialmente pelos espanhóis. O Texas passou ao controle mexicano quando o México tornou-se independente da Espanha, em 1821. Crescente migração de americanos ao Texas fez com que movimentos pró-secessão do Texas do México crescessem. Em 1836, uma rebelião em Alamo foi extinguida pelos mexicanos, que mataram todos os americanos participantes desta rebelião - com exceção de algumas mulheres, crianças e escravos. Os mortos em Álamo tornaram-se heróis no Texas e nos Estados Unidos. Ainda no mesmo ano, o Texas tornou-se independente do México, tornando-se uma república. Nove anos depois, tornou-se um estado americano, sendo admitida como o vigésimo oitavo Estado americano da União em 29 de dezembro de 1845. Atualmente, a economia do Texas possui um importante papel na economia americana. Inicialmente um estado agro-pecuário, desde o início do século XX a economia do estado diversificou-se, e atualmente, são as indústrias petrolífera e aeroespacial, bem como o setor financeiro, que possuem maior importância na economia do Texas.

  • 得克萨斯州(英文:Texas),簡稱得州,是美國南方最大的一州,也是全美第二大州,僅次於阿拉斯加州。州名來自於印地安Hasinai族中的Caddoan語“tejas”,意謂著“朋友”或是“盟友”。西班牙的探險家在命名得州時將這個應爲人稱的詞誤以爲地名,就由此沿用下來。 (zh)
  • Texas er en stat i den sydlige del af USA. Delstatshovedstaden er Austin. Af andre vigtige byer kan nævnes Houston og Dallas. Staten grænser op til New Mexico og Mexico i vest, Oklahoma i nord samt Louisiana og Arkansas i øst. I 1870'erne og 1880'erne blev indianerstammerne fordrevet med magt og udbygningen af jernbanen banede vej for nybyggerne. Kvægdriften fik et opsving og skabte myten om Texas som den virkelige "Vilde Vesten"-stat. I begyndelsen af 1900-tallet fik olien stor betydning og Houston og Dallas blev på den tid regnet som to af de mest velstående byer i verden. I Dallas blev præsident John F. Kennedy skudt og dræbt den 22. november 1963. USA's nuværende præsident, George W. Bush, var guvernør i staten Texas i årene 1994-2000. (da)
  • Texas ist ein Bundesstaat im zentralen Süden der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Texas hat den Beinamen „Lone Star State“ - Einsamer-Stern-Staat. Hintergrund des Beinamens: Texas ist neben Vermont der einzige US-Staat, der vor seiner Zugehörigkeit zu den USA eine unabhängige Republik war. Texas hat von allen US-Bundesstaaten nach Alaska die zweitgrößte Fläche und nach Kalifornien die zweitgrößte Bevölkerung. Mit seinen 254 Countys hat Texas die meisten Countys der USA. (de)
  • Texas er en delstat i USA, og er en av sørstatene. Den grenser mot Oklahoma i nord, Arkansas i nordøst, Louisiana i øst og New Mexico i vest. I sørøst ligger Mexicogulfen og i sør og sørvest danner elven Rio Grande grensen mot Mexico. Den er den nest største delstaten både i areal etter Alaska, og også i folketall der den bare overgås av California. Hovedstaden er Austin. Texas var tidligere en integrert del av Mexico, og i en periode på nesten 10 år et selvstendig land «Republikken Texas», før det sluttet seg til USA i 1845. Basert på innbyggertall er de seks største byene i staten Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth og El Paso. Bare 12% av innbygerne i Texas har vært utenfor staten.
