    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.

      ***** 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
      @sammy_malaki 9 лет назад +11

      ***** 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
      @Hugh.Manatee 9 лет назад +9

      ***** 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
      @AitheinOfQuartz 9 лет назад +1

      ***** 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.

    In case you plan on a 3rd border video, I suggest you to talk about *Olivença* (that's Portuguese and it's pronounced _Olivenssa_, in Spanish it's Olivenza), which is claimed by both Portugal and Spain, resulting in a portion of the border which isn't properly defined.

      @SantomPh 10 лет назад +18

      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.

      kasmiris wanted to be a part of pakistan why india occupied it just because its maharaja (only one man) wanted to be with india. Now tell me, did not that fucking maharaja act against the people of kashmir who wanted to be with pakistan. And pakistan was created for muslims so that all muslims and their lands can be a part of pakistan. It means kashmir is a part of pakistan. because about 96.4% of its population is muslim. so why you have occupied our muslim brothers land?. There is no logic in claiming of kashmir by indians.
