It's not Britain that are at fault for everything. When the world wanted to keep slavery going which the arabs and Africans had been doing for thousands of years before the British got involved, it was Britain who first stopped slavery then went and forced other nations from, Europe to Africa and the middle east and literally militarily forced other nations to stop slavery and that it was a bad thing.

I feel like you were pretty lazy explaining the Egypt and Sudan border disputes. It was a while ago I looked this up but if I recall correctly there is a more important reason both don't claim Bir Tawil, that being that Sudan recognizes one border the British drew that includes the Hala'ib Triangle inside Sudan but doesn't include Bir Tawil, meanwhile Egypt recognizes another border the British drew that gives them the Hala'ib Triangle and not Bir Tawil. So the reason neither wants Bir Tawil is because claiming that would lend legitimacy to the other country's claim over the Hala'ib Triangle. And the reason both of them want the Hala'ib Triangle is because there was oil found there.

Love the video! You did forget about the Apipé Islands dispute beetween Argentina and Paraguay though. Both countries claim the island as well as some more islands around the Paraná
That’s not true. The islands are Argentinian, and the waters surrounding them belong to Paraguay. The only problem is that the Paraguayan army attacked some islanders who were fishing in the river, and so Corrientes (the province who owns the islands, because literally nobody else knows or cares about that) is saying that Paraguay attacked the Argentinian sovereignty because they have no jurisdiction in the islands.
To clarify the 'irony' of Spain wanting Gibraltar whilst not giving Ceuta and Melilla: Spain has historically controlled Gibraltar and until 1704 it was always Spanish. However, Ceuta and Melilla have been Spanish since the 1400s, and the Morroccan identity was not even one that exsisted back then, and rather the cities were originally annexed by Spain from the Byzantines, then taken by the Umayyads and then reconquered by the Spanish. In essence, this is to say that the Morroccans have no historical claims, as these enclavews have been Spanish since they were taken from the Byzantines.
The only country that can claim Sabah is Brunei Darussalam and The Philippines doesn't have any rights to claim Sabah because it's just a gift from Brunei.

14:36 Singapore and Malaysia has already resolved the issue of Pedra Branca and was not from the result of land reclamation. Pedra Branca was administered by the British to the Colony of Singapore and it remained under the acts of sovereignty of Singapore after independence, while Malaysia did nothing. As a result, the ICJ gave Pedra Branca to Singapore. To this day, Pedra Branca remains as a small island with a light house, but there are plans to reclaim land around it. The land reclamation dispute you may be referring to is when Malaysia drew its revised borders into Singapore’s Tuas land reclamation. I’m not sure if that issue has been resolved yet, though.
i wouldn't expect you to find all the world's ongoing disputes but the most recent active fighting between countries was the Sudanese-Ethiopian conflict over the fashaga region it's a complicated piece of border conflict and it extends over to the bani shangol heights. Recently, the Sudanese army reclaimed the land back with force after the Ethiopians had control over it for around 30 years.
Also, the conflict between north sudan and south sudan isn't an active conflict and there isn't any clashes between the armies. They act more like friendly governments. Nonetheless great work on everything else.
I live in the Basque Country (Spain), my hometown is about 20 minutes away from France.

Well, Spain owns the island for 6 months of the year, and France does for the other 6. That's a peaceful way of settling a land dispute lmao

You nned tp cover the dispute over the Atacama desert strip on the Pacific coast. Congrolled by Chile but claimed by Peru and Bolivia, they lost the territory in The War of the Pacific 1879-1883. Then there's the Chaco area of Bolivia, which they lost in a war with Paraguay 1932-1934.

16:15 I believe you wanted to say "Taiwan _renounced_ claims to all of Mongolia", rather than "Taiwan also claimed all of Mongolia"? Technically, the ROC already recognized outer Mongolia's independence in 1946, but unilaterally recinded recognization in 1953 without any due process. It took until Taiwan's democratization and popular election of the Legislature before the Mogolia issue can finally be sorted out, and in 2002 was finally able to legally exclude Mongolia from legal texts and establish quasi-diplomatic ties.
8:45 The word "only" is doing some heavy lifting because 146 (not 143) countries means about as many countries recognize Palestine as a country as do Israel.
This is absolutely not "every ongoing border dispute". For starters, you didn't mention the border dispute between the Netherlands and Germany about who owns the the Ems estuary.
14:39 I don't think the Preah Vihear dispute is really "minor" especially since Thailand and Cambodia did have a border conflict with one another relatively recently.
There is another dispute in Western Europe, Austria, Switzerland and Germany never agreed where the frontier was on Lake Constance, Switzerland claims that it passes on the middle of the lake but Germany and Austria don’t agree (obviously there isn’t any conflicts and since the problem hasn’t been resolve I guess it doesn’t impact the countries at all)
It’s interesting how something’s come full circle. Morocco was the first country to officially recognize the U.S. as a sovereign nation, and the U.S. was the first country to recognize Morocco’s claim over the Western Sahara.
The Taiwan disputes are a bit weird, because by my understanding, the main reason Taiwan still maintains those claims is that to not do so would be seen by Beijing tantamount to a claim of independence / Taiwan saying it isn't 'China' anymore. It's an odd situation where the people making the claims don't actually _want_ to make them.
Lesotho was claiming Bloemfontein one of our capital cities as theirs. Last year they started claiming 5 South African provinces as belonging to Lesotho.
That was a single opposition MP out of a total of 120, and the motion did not pass. That does not constitute a territorial dispute. If anything the rejection of the motion is a rejection of the claims within it.

16:15 I believe you wanted to say "Taiwan _renounced_ claims to all of Mongolia", rather than "Taiwan also claimed all of Mongolia"?
Technically, the ROC already recognized outer Mongolia's independence in 1946, but unilaterally recinded recognization in 1953 without any due process. It took until Taiwan's democratization and popular election of the Legislature before the Mogolia issue can finally be sorted out, and in 2002 was finally able to legally exclude Mongolia from legal texts and establish quasi-diplomatic ties.
This is why you have to be careful with political topics, but this video would never end if we actually did cover every dispute.
Venezuela also historically had dispute that Trinidad is part of their territory. I imagine Mudoro may soon turn his attention there
You forgot the Bodensee
Crazy how the problem is almost always the British
Almost? lol it’s always their fault one way or another. They just love owning land thousands of km away from home 😂
@@agme8045 Almost, because sometimes the problem is the French, Spanish, or Portuguese
8:45 The word "only" is doing some heavy lifting because 146 (not 143) countries means about as many countries recognize Palestine as a country as do Israel.
This is absolutely not "every ongoing border dispute". For starters, you didn't mention the border dispute between the Netherlands and Germany about who owns the the Ems estuary.
The Specific Sultanate that was based in North Borneo and some Philippine islands has a name specifically the Sulu Sultanate
14:39 I don't think the Preah Vihear dispute is really "minor" especially since Thailand and Cambodia did have a border conflict with one another relatively recently.
Missed Pakistan and Afghanistan Durand line/ KPK dispute
"Let's make the most controversial video speed run!" This guy probably 😂
There is another dispute in Western Europe, Austria, Switzerland and Germany never agreed where the frontier was on Lake Constance, Switzerland claims that it passes on the middle of the lake but Germany and Austria don’t agree (obviously there isn’t any conflicts and since the problem hasn’t been resolve I guess it doesn’t impact the countries at all)
Half of these disputes is cause the UK drew some lines
That was the plan 🇬🇧😈😈😈
"Danubay river" 4:06
It’s interesting how something’s come full circle. Morocco was the first country to officially recognize the U.S. as a sovereign nation, and the U.S. was the first country to recognize Morocco’s claim over the Western Sahara.
One of tRump's dumbest decisions. 😒👎
You forgot the dispute between Kenya and Somalia
The Taiwan disputes are a bit weird, because by my understanding, the main reason Taiwan still maintains those claims is that to not do so would be seen by Beijing tantamount to a claim of independence / Taiwan saying it isn't 'China' anymore. It's an odd situation where the people making the claims don't actually _want_ to make them.
No mention of the dispute for the territory of San Andres?
Lesotho was claiming Bloemfontein one of our capital cities as theirs.
Last year they started claiming 5 South African provinces as belonging to Lesotho.
That was a single opposition MP out of a total of 120, and the motion did not pass. That does not constitute a territorial dispute. If anything the rejection of the motion is a rejection of the claims within it.
@@Quintinohthree They've been claiming Bloemfontein for a while, so this is escalation
@@suh-guy Who is "they". By all accounts it is just one member of parliament in the opposition.
2:00 Ceuta was Portuguese since 1414. Only after the Iberian Union (1640) it deflected to Spain.
The point is that it was never part of Morocco, so the claim is baseless.
@@alfrredd if you consider the current regime sucessor to the marinids, theres a claim. But i do not support it neither.
Verry intressting video their is some dispute i never heard like philippins versus malaysia.
However I think you forgot the dispute about the Constance lake betwen switzerland, germany and austria wich is a little bit like the Malawi lake.
I think the Bolivian navy would like to have a word with you and their disputed coastline with Chile.
9:02 “An Islamist political party with a military wing.
The hoops jumped to avoid saying the T word is crazy 😭
