Answer to Question 1

Boers

Answer to Question 2

The countries of eastern Eurasia were at one time referred to as the Orient, from a Latin word meaning facing the east or facing the sunrise. The West was then known as the Occident, derived from a word meaning facing the sunset. But this terminology reflected the view from Europe and became associated with Western stereotypes and misconceptions about Asia. These terms have fallen out of favor, but in older literature, you are sure to read about the Orient.
