▶ Which Countries Dispute Territories In 2023? Disputed territories are a constant in geopolitics, they are at the source of many conflicts throughout history that led to the designing or redesigning of borders between countries. One country wanted a region, its neighbour wanted it too; they went into conflict and the winning side took it. While conflicts emerging from territorial or border disputes are - thankfully - rarer today, they still exist. And territorial disputes as a whole do as well, and are a big part of diplomatic relations and diplomatic tensions across the world. In this video we take a look at about 10 cases of territorial disputes that still exist or are at least still relevant today, in 2023. Some of them with potential of leading to an armed conflict, while some do not. Among this list are Guyana Esequibo (disputed between Venezuela and Guyana), the Tigri Area (disputed between Guyana and Suriname), the South China Sea - perhaps the most serious dispute in modern times - (disputed between China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Brunei), Kashmir (disputed between India, Pakistan and China), the Batken Region in the Fergana Valley (disputed by Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan), the Golan Heights (disputed between Israel and Syria), Nagorno-Karakabkh (disputed between Armenia and Azerbaijan, with the Artsakh Republic too), the Khuriya Muriya islands (between Oman and Yemen), the Chagos Archipelago (between the United Kingdom and Mauritius), and also Mayotte (between the Comoros and France).
