Baltimore (/ˈbɔːltɪmɔːr/ BAWL-tim-or, locally: /bɔːldəˈmɔːr/ bawl-da-MOR or /ˈbɔːlmər/ BAWL-mər) is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Maryland, fourth most populous city in the Mid-Atlantic, and the 30th most populous city in the United States with a population of 585,708 in 2020. Baltimore was designated an independent city by the Constitution of Maryland[a] in 1851, and today is the most populous independent city in the United States. As of 2021, the population of the Baltimore metropolitan area was estimated to be 2,838,327, making it the 20th largest metropolitan area in the country. Baltimore is located about 40 miles (64 km) north northeast of Washington, D.C., making it a principal city in the Washington–Baltimore combined statistical area (CSA), the third-largest CSA in the nation, with a 2021 estimated population of 9,946,526.

Prior to European colonization, the Baltimore region was used as hunting grounds by the Susquehannock Native Americans, who were primarily settled further northwest than where the city was later built. Colonists from the Province of Maryland established the Port of Baltimore in 1706 to support the tobacco trade with Europe, and established the Town of Baltimore in 1729. The first printing press and newspapers were introduced to Baltimore by Nicholas Hasselbach and William Goddard respectively, in the mid-18th century.

The Battle of Baltimore was a pivotal engagement during the War of 1812, culminating in the failed British bombardment of Fort McHenry, during which Francis Scott Key wrote a poem that would become "The Star-Spangled Banner", which was eventually designated as the American national anthem in 1931. During the Pratt Street Riot of 1861, the city was the site of some of the earliest violence associated with the American Civil War.

Jilin Province, referred to as "Ji", is the provincial administrative region of the people's Republic of China and the capital of Changchun. Jilin Province is located in the middle of Northeast China, connected with Liaoning, Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang, bordered by Russia and North Korea, and located in the geographical center of Northeast Asia. By the end of 2017, it had jurisdiction over 8 prefecture-level cities and 1 autonomous prefecture, with a total of 20 county-level cities, 16 counties, 3 autonomous counties and 21 municipal districts. The establishment of Jilin began in the tenth year of Qing Shunzhi (1653). In the 12th year of Kangxi (1673), the Qing government built Jilin City and named Jilin Wula, from which Jilin got its name. Qianlong 22 years (1757), officially changed its name to "Guard Jilin Wula and other places General", referred to as "Jilin General".
