Question

Give two specific examples since the Spanish-American War (1898-1898) where the shape of a state has been a contributing factor for either internal or external conflict.

Answer 1

One specific example is the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan over the disputed territory of Kashmir, which has a complex history of border changes and territorial claims. Another example is the conflict in Sudan between the Arab-dominated government and various rebel groups in the southern region, which has been driven in part by disputes over resources and borders.
