Strange, interesting & unique borders of the world

[@SanketAlekar]

The India and Bangladesh situation was solved a couple of years ago by the two governments. They exchanged parcels of land to get rid of the enclaves. It was one of the most interesting situations before then.

[@JohannesGaming01]

Belgium and Germany also share a strange border. There is a small strip that belongs to Belgium and it separates a German exclave from main Germany.

[@NeelixSeQ]

its the remnants of a former railway line called the Vennbahn , the Belgian border runs along the former railway line .

[@niclasd.]

I noticed two 'mistakes' in this video: - the city at the boarder of Belgium and the Netherlands is a 'mess' of enclaves and not just a city split in two. You definitely should have mentioned that - There are actually two unclaimed territories, the second one is in Antarctica

[@lioneldemun6033]

Some slices of Antarctica are claimed but those claims are " frozen" (it's not a pun!)

The England Wales border is weird too. I went for a five mile walk the other day close to my home half a mile from the border and crossed the border eight times

[@jamesfitzpatrick6627]

Id say now the northern Ireland border Irish has a lot more history, blood spent alone

[@sdrawkcabUK]

@@jamesfitzpatrick6627 not so much. The Irish border was just a placeholder based on old country boundaries pending a boundary commission (which was not acted on in the end). The model Welsh border is the results of several centuries of English-Welsh conflict

[@trystandavies7249]

You get a lot of Welsh language place names just over the border. There was a golf course during the C-19 lockdown which was on the border - at one point half of the course was open and the other half closed.

[@rayalkhudari7889]

Adding to the Oman - UAE border, there Oman controls a peninsula north of nawah. This means starting in Oman, you can cross the border 6 times in a strait line. From Oman, you cross into the uae then back into Oman, then back in the uae then back into Oman then back into the uae, then back into oman

[@tjwonderboy]

The only reason you see on the mexican side houses next to the border but not on the US side, specifially here, is because this is an estuary as the Tijuana River's delta ends right there. But if you go further east, there are houses on both sides of the border. Yet, obviously, there is much more order on the US side, but that's all.

[@captaintzuyu]

Fun fact : The complicated borders of enclaving India & Bangladesh was solved in recent years by both of the governments with mutual meets, both of the countries had to lose or gain lots of land to make border less complicated, in a result India lost more of the lands to the Bangladesh cause natives were in support of Bangladesh and good thing was, there's no major issue due to those territories unlike ind & pak, India just calmly gave up those lands and removed all the enclaves by making it 1 separate line of division. I mean in conclusion that was a good thing to do cause natives use to suffer alot due to border problems, that's been solved now. There's a little, very little disadvantage too, as some of the towns got divided into two as being fully in India & vice versa but ig that's what they wanted so I don't think it should be questioned.

[@smart-assprofessor406]

Colombia and Brazil in the amazon jungle has a strange border at Leticia and Tabatinga.

[@reud_6476]

Isn't it weirder that Belgium has a longer border with France than Spain?

[@quanbrooklynkid7776]

Yea

[@jontalbot1]

Do you mean France has a longer border with Belgium than With Spain?

[@reud_6476]

@@jontalbot1 oh, I guess I made a mistake. Thanks

[@giuliavalle5751]

I find interesting the border between Colombia, Peru' and Brasil. The city of Leticia in Colombia is extremely close to other 2 countries. :)

Dannevirke in Denmark, Dannevirke is the Nordic region's largest defense structure and historical monument. It consists of ramparts and walls and was created and expanded from around the year 500 to approx. 1200. The work was to secure the kingdom's border to the south and stretched across Jutland between the fjord Slien and the river Trenen. At the latest in the 1864 war (2nd Schleswig War), Dannevirke functioned as a defense structure, and has an almost mythical role in Denmark's history.

-Mom, I'm going to Belgium! -You don't have to make the same joke every time you go to the bathroom, son.

[@ariamh823]

The morroco Spain border also deserved a spot here (it's the shortest one)

[@marc2156]

Canada now has a landborder with Denmark. More precisely, it runs straight down Hans Island shared by Greenland and Nunavut Territory.

I'd like to hear more about the point in southern Africa where Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana meet.

Sat at the picnic bench when I lived in Austria. It's beautiful farmland all around it 💙

[@manmohanmishra5301]

just think how wrong we are saying DMZ is a demillatrised zone even though it is one of the world's heaviest guarded border

[@niclasd.]

It actually makes sense calling it that way, because DMZ ≠ Korean boarder. The zone is the 4km buffer between the highly guarded boarders, where no military is allowed. So it makes sense calling it demilitarised zone.

[@PatricenotPatrick]

@@niclasd. there’s military in that zone what are you talking about? My husband was stationed there a decade ago and my cousin is today actually.

[@niclasd.]

@@PatricenotPatrick yes, you are right. I didn't know there were soldiers inside the DMZ. But my point is that it still makes sense calling it demilitarised zone because it is supposed to be demilitarised and the soldiers inside the zone need a permit to be there.

[@annehersey9895]

In the Belgium/Netherlands house that is split in half, I hope they get to choose which country they want to pay their taxes to-it could be the difference of a bit of money!

[@ThokozaneNgcongwane]

There's the quadrilateral point at Caprivi Strip that joins Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Also, according to my knowledge, the only quadrilateral point in the world.

[@sirapos6550]

What does this word mean ?

[@ThokozaneNgcongwane]

@@sirapos6550 I meant to say quaripoint, and not quarilateral. But it means a shape or point and that 4 edges.

[@allieniner675]

[@duffal0]

As an American, it’s crazy how many Americans pronounce it “briz-bain”

[@8309barbie]

Don’t forget St Pierre and Migulon it’s the only French territory in North America situated minutes by ferry from Canada

[@lioneldemun6033]

What I would be interested in is a detailed description of the Israeli and Palestinian territories borders both official and de facto with the different enclaves and exclaves,walls etc., it's very difficult to find without immediately getting bombarded with political rants.

[@arjaygee]

I was surprised the Kaliningrad Oblast wasn't mentioned.

[@sdspivey]

It is just a simple exclave. There are hundreds around the world, so nothing special about it.

[@bakert7000]

He forgot to mention two weird borders between Canada and the United States. One is In Minnesota at the lake of the woods, you have to drive through Canada to get there. The other is in Washington state and British Columbia where the United States divides a little part of a Pennisula in Canada and they have to drive through Canada to the United States.

[@lesliengo8347]

Not to mention there are no fences between the two borders. However, there may be servilience cameras

I live in a Rayan city ( the name of border cities). And also the city is one of busiest borders so traffic is high

I grew up along the Mexico/US Border for 17 years. Used to go to the Reynosa Market every Saturday, water ski the Rio Grande River in the afternoons, and hit the Clubs at night after I was 16…a LOT has changed. It’s exceptionally dangerous not just across the Border but to live in the Valley (South Texas) now. If you visit, you go thru a Checkpoint two hours North of the Border at Falfurrias and then again at the Rio Grande River…yes, with dogs, car searches, etc..

[@kentk9360]

Not only did I see the Border Patrol daily but I knew them personally. An FBI Agent lived across the street from us (down two houses). We were called Border Rats…lol. It is what it is…I didn’t know it was different elsewhere.

I've been to the DMZ in South Korea. I went down the tunnel built by the North but discovered. There's quite a few of them. Looking across to North Korea there's not much to see, only grasslands. I was going to say France is the closest European country to Australia but you beat me too it! If you travel to New Caledonia the flag of the European Union is flying also! In fact France sent it's convicts to New Caledonia, when England was sending their convicts to Australia

The dispute between Sudan and Egypt on Halaip Triangle. You said it between Egypt and British Empire, that was incorrect, because at that time Egypt and Sudan are colonized by British, and the King Faroug on Egypt was Turkish he was ruling both Egypt and Sudan in the name of British, Egypt never claimed that Triangle until 1995, when used a force and invaded Halaip, check the UN maps for Sudan and Egypt since 1898
