The Most Complex International Borders in the World - Part 2

Yet more complex international borders in this sequel.
In this video I look at even more enclaves and exclaves: the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Then I move onto the Uzbekistan-Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan border. Then I look at the exclaves of Germany within Belgium, the disputed border between India, Pakistan, and China.
Croatia has complex border with 2 of its neighbours - Serbia and Slovenia.
I finish by looking at the minor border irregularity between Sweden and Finland.

WonderWhy On 13 April 2015. Liberland was formed by claiming the unclaimed land on the western bank of the Danube river between Croatia and Serbia. They must have got this idea from you. Looking forward to the next video.

[@WonderWhy]

Very interesting! Thanks for letting me know.

[@sammy_malaki]

***** If you check the video on 7.30, you will see that according to the internationally accepted maps, Liberland should be under Serbia. However, since none of the countries are claiming it, the residents decided to declare independence.

[@sammy_malaki]

***** Liberland is de facto part of Serbia but Serbia has not claimed it. Claiming it would mean that they (Serbia) support the original boarder line that followed the previous path of the Danube river. Claiming independence and international recorgnition are two very different things. Lets wait and see how this plays out. WonderWhy

[@Hugh.Manatee]

***** It's not really a question of the residents claiming independence. It had no residents. Some Czech guy decided he wanted to start a new libertarian state in this unclaimed piece of land, and did so... by claiming it on facebook? Well, there was a flag raised, but as far as I'm aware, a month later there's still no one actually living there.

[@AitheinOfQuartz]

***** Under the Croatian interpretation of the Danube River border, Liberland belongs to Serbia. Under the Serbian interpretation of the Danube River border, Liberland belongs to Croatia. So both are saying "Not mine!" Additionally, Croatia has been enforcing the border into Liberland, meaning it does not claim the lands between the Liberland border and the Danube river. It is adhering to its claim. Serbia has also recognized Liberland as not conflicting with its own territorial claims along the Danube.

[@BlunderCity]

There is one interesting border in my country that is bit of a curiosity. It is the Franco-Spanish border separating the French and Spanish Basque Country. The border is the Rio Bidasoa river. It's not very complex but it has one particularity. There is an island there that switches sovereignty every 6 months. That's right! For 6 months of the year it's French and for the other 6 months it's Spanish. So from the 1st of August to the 31st of January it's French territory and from the 1st of February to the 31st of July it's Spanish. It means that every six months, the official borders of my country, France, and those of our Spanish friends to the south, change. The island in question is the "Ile des Faisans" or "Isla de los Faisanes" (Pheasant Island). The arrangement is known as a "condominium" and it is the only such example in the world.

Very interesting.

[@user-rh2pv2kc5g]

for Indian Pakistan and Middle kingdom ,cooperation and communication and investment together is the best way to solve these problem.we have keep peace for more than 2000years and we shouldn't learn the offensive west European or Middle East countries.

Hey look!!! I found a logical comment among the hate-filled mindlessly written comments which deny legal historical accession. I wish more people understand this and righteously follow the legal J&K borders established on 26th October 1947.

[@varunmanjunath9123]

@kylephantom4 Look, it would have been independent if Pakistan hadn't mindlessly infiltrated Kashmir in the first place, your hasty religious supremacist leaders just forced Hari Singh to join India to save his people... So, please read history well before making any such baseless claims. P.S I assumed that you are Pakistani, please excuse me if you aren't. :)

[@-et-8934]

varun manjunath actually Pakistan gave Kashmir the option to be independent but India didn’t allow this

[@praveentiwari5301]

Bastard

[@kishore369]

Pakistan and co operation? Nah thanks

Fun fact: the town of Campione d'Italia can be translated as Sample of Italy

[@napstablook_]

But I've a little question... What is legally the nationality of the peoples that live into contested territories ?

[@boigercat]

This series just shows how petty governments are doesn't it.

[@user-fr2fm3ri3w]

Lmao how did it go? I get its an old ass comment but I'm worried 😂😂

[@kirigwi]

If some part is unclaimed, say, The Sudan-Egyptian land, can any foreign territory claim it as an over sea territory (UK has plenty of those)

[@willcand]

The contex of your video is very interesting and educational. Your accent is too hard to understand though. Thanks!

[@dasadist22]

Love how the typically anglocentric narrator claimed stalin practice divide and rule. while ignoring British complicity of the same in India. Brits created divided and rule and are responsible for wars in all its former colonies- about 88 countries. Rose tinted glasses.

[@cicero1178]

the Muslims wanted their own state

[@harish8693]

+dasadist22 What do you mean divide and rule? Most of the princely states had their own autonomy,, they were requested to join the indian union after the rest of india got independence from british.

[@HOrseshoeM]

+dasadist22 ... not only in former colonies!! Churchill was directly involved in drawing the borders inside the Yugoslavia during the WW2, dividing people of the same nationality (and even generating new territorial-base-nationalities) thus making sure, that those borders are drawn in such a way that inducing a future war ought to be very easy and cheap (..and it was, unfortunately)... compared to old Churchill in terms of 'divide and rule' capabilities, Stalin was a toddler!!

[@TheMaxundmoritz]

+dasadist22 There is a photo of Churchill at the beach and one can see he has a bigger one than Darned Old Trump.

[@morbidsearch]

Didn't Sikkim also choose not to be part of India after the British independence? (Though they did join in 1976)

[@shngain100]

most of the NE indian states like meghalaya manipur nagaland didn't choose to be part of India and want sovereignity but the Indian Army that time quickly invade and annexed those parts after independence

[@morbidsearch]

shngain100 Yes, but wasn't Sikkim and independent country for about 30 years before joining with India?

[@shngain100]

yes it was but there was a referendum similar to what happens now in crimea and kosovo

[@SantomPh]

it chose not to join but signed a treaty a few years later to be India's protectorate. Political/ethnic issues made the local ruler unpopular and the government asked for Indian military help to calm the situation. After occupation there was a referendum and eventually Sikkim became a state of India.

[@jedimaster9922]

shngain100 Expect manipur all other states were directly administered by british and just witnesses a transition of government from british to Indian hands.So your question of them wanting sovereignty cannot arise.They never became sovereign.Indian army never invaded them,they were always there in already established barracks.

The Slovenia-Croatia situation is no longer an issue, as in 2023, Croatia joined the Schengen Area, which means open borders with Slovenia.

You didn't talk about adam's bridge! (AKA the border between India and Sri Lanka.)
