Italian term or phrase: costituisce l'asse portante di
Contesto:

Dai primi dell'Ottocento l'interesse degli Europei si concentrò sulla ricerca delle sorgenti dell'Irrawaddy, il grande fiume che costituisce l'asse portante del Myanmar. Si credeva infatti, meglio si sperava, che risalendo il suo corso, si potesse arrivare al ovest nel Tibet o a est in Cina.

Molte Grazie,
