The Basque people, who are frequently in the news for their separatist activity, primarily live in Spain and France. The Basque Country, known as Euskal Herria in the Basque language, is a region located in the western Pyrenees, spanning parts of northeastern Spain and southwestern France. The Spanish part of the Basque Country consists of the autonomous communities of the Basque Country and Navarre, while the French part includes the traditional Basque provinces of Labourd, Basse-Navarre, and Soule. It is important to note that not all Basque people support or are involved in separatist activities.
