Please help this is really mind-boggling to me and I can't tell if it's just because I'm overthinking it or if it's actually confusing. If you take an island and 2 different civilizations, then put up a wall halfway through the island and place 1 civilization on one side and the other civilization on the other side, would that make the island 2 peninsulas, or is it still an island? would the whole land be an island and one side be a peninsula? ( see picture for better explanation )

Please help this is really mind-boggling to me and I can't tell if it's just because-example-1

I think that it would still just be an island. A peninsula is a landform surrounded by water that extends outward from the land. Imagine a green rectangle sticking out from the green oval you pictured. That rectangle would represent the peninsula. Therefore, dividing the island in half would not create any peninsulas. Hope this helps :)
