The shape of Croatia has historical reasons. Most of the Dalmatian coast belonged to the Habsburg Empire, the Republic of Venice and the Republic of Ragusa until the Napoleonic Wars while Bosnia and Herzegovina belonged to the Ottoman Empire. The small gap at Neum was Part of the Ottoman Empire which diveded Venice from Ragusa.

[@AelwynMr]

Correct. I will add that ceding it to the Ottomans was agreed between Venice and Ragusa in a treaty (17th Century I think), as the two countries didn't want to share borders. That along with a second strip at Sutorina, which I believe is now in Montenegro (along with the whole bay of Kotor).

[@lukel236]

I knew you'd pick Croatia first , but I have to say Croatia is very old and BiH was part of Croatia and Serbia until the Ottomans came (Croatia was at that time part of the Habsburg empire) and Croatia became a buffer zone toward central Europe. they made a "dent" in the territory. Croatia did not steal anything , the strip of land by the sea was given to BiH so that it can also have access to the Adriatic sea. Our territory is already very "lessened" , we have experienced occupation numerous times , we are very naive and that cost us. We just want do be left alone to live and work in peace in our country and with the countries that surround us. :D One more thing is that everybody talks about that we were part of Yugoslavia and we were , but Yugoslavia was a mix of peoples and everybody knew very well who was of which nationality and what were the borders of the republics during it's existance. Yugoslavia is a very small fragment of our history.

[@debraelcock2020]

10:00 its Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan has a border with China which has a coast. The other country that is double landlocked is Liechtenstein.

[@blackwood5851]

I'm pretty sure he didn't mean steal in the sense of theft, but in the sense that normally if a country is near the coast, it mostly has the coast as border (like Montenegro right below). In this case you can say Croatia "stole" what would logically be Bosnia and Herzegovina's coast. That's why it has such a weird shape. It doesn't literally mean Croatia stole the land.

The double landlocked countries are Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan. The Caspian Sea doesn't count as sea access to the countries around Uzbekistan bc it has no connection to the ocean, and is 38 metres below sea level. I find it really weird that a sea is below sea level, but technically is a salty lake and not a sea, even though it is referred to as one. And also, bc the caspian sea is landlocked, the countries around it are the only landlocked countries in the world that have a coastline.

Dalmatian Coast, Croatia. Long story short (don't take my words as absolute truth, I'm being as concise as can be so most actual facts might not be like that): It belonged to the republic of Venice, then Napoleon came in, conquered Venice. Napoleon lost, treaties, all of Venice's territories were given to the Austro-Hungarian empire. Italian "Risorgimento", Italian unification wars, Kingdom of Sardinia conquers all of Italy, agrees to attack Austria alongside Prussia, gets Veneto. Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Istria, and Dalmatia are left to Austria. First world war, Italian loss at Caporetto, then Italian victory at the Piave river, battle of Vittorio Veneto, Austria surrenders, Italy gets Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Poet Gabriele d'Annunzio leads a revolt to get Istria and Dalmatia, after some more treaties Italy gets Istria up to the city of Fiume (Rijeka). Dalmatia goes to Yugoslavia. World War 2 kicks in, Italy joins Germany, Mussolini gets kicked out and Italy first switches out, then joins US, UK, and France. Germany occupies most of Italy, partigiani, reconquering of Italy, end of the war in Europe. Yugoslavia pulls off an ethnic cleansing and banishing of Italian citizens in Istria, the US and other winning countries be like "yeah, sorry Italy, we need a friend against dem Commies" and ignores the genocide, Yugoslavia gets Istria. Cold war, end of USSR, end of Yugoslavia, Croatia gets most of Istria and Dalmatia, leaving a bit of coast to Slovenia and Bosnia-Erzegovina so they have access to the Mediterranean. Da END

[@RendererEP]

Interstate relations between the Republic of Chile and the Plurinational State of Bolivia have been strained ever since independence in the early 19th century because of the Atacama border dispute. Relations soured even more after Bolivia lost its coast to Chile during the War of the Pacific and became a landlocked country (Bolivia still claims a corridor to the Pacific Ocean). Bolivia-Peru relations refers to the current and historical relationship between Bolivia and Peru. The two countries fought the War of the Pacific and were united as the Peru-Bolivian Confederation from 1836 to 1839. and also you spelt potato wrong in your name you should do your research lol because i just did
