    Somalia and Somaliland is another divided but not recognized situation. China and Taiwan are technically a divided country with Taiwan as not officially recognized by other states. Throw in Morocco/Sahrawi, the Koreas, Kosovo and those breakaway states from Georgia and you have an easy part 2 video. :)

    Your Cyprus map is wrong. The area east of the British Sovereign Base Area at Dhekelia (the eastern of the two such areas) but south of the "Green Line", is shown as red, implying Turkish control. Actually, this chunk of Cyprus, which contains the popular holiday resort of Ayia Napa, is under the control of the Republic Of cyprus, i.e. the Greek part of the island.

    A lot of these conflicts can be traced back to the colonial days. When the various European powers drew up their areas of control based on the geography of the areas, rather than the ethnic groups inhabiting the areas. Different ethnicities, especially when coupled with different religions, in an area, usually leads to friction between the fractions. Throw in valuable resources in one area, and there will never be a peaceful resolution.

    • @bannanachops

      A lot of the policy was guided by the 'divide and conquer' rule. It's the only explanation of how Britain was able to control countries like India, which had 10 times the population.

      There's no reason those would count here. A different geopolitical dynamic for another list. C'mon now.
      -
      Secondly, dude Flanders & Wallonia just have some secession movements & are fully incorporated Belgian States. What the fuxk are you fuckng smoking? What world are we in? When did The Belgian Civil War occur?

      Video title : Countries that are divided in 2022
      N.Kor and S.Kor divided into 2 separate nations many years ago. The countries on this list are still officially a single nation but have some separatist movements going on within them for creation of a new nation.

      Because they are compound nouns with adjectives, for example it's The United Kingdom or The United States because there are other united kingdoms but for this one it's a name, it refers to a specific united kingdom for which this is a name. Similarly, The United States are not the only united states, we've had loads of states unite throughout history.

    Syria isn't "separated" for it to reunite. The country isn't split into different countries that aren't recognised by the UN, the conflict is simply between different groups of people in different regions. Of course keep in mind that the militias and forces within every region don't necessarily represent the citizens living there, which is why you can't consider syria divided. The same ideologies can be found in several areas within the country, so you can't really just "divide" it

      Since Ireland joined the EU they've become a secular state. Prior to that the Papacy held far too much sway in the country, with restrictions on divorce and a complete ban on abortions. Plus, prior to the Troubles (and the UK's deindustrialization and pre Thatcher malaise) Ulster was, by far, the most prosperous part of the island. Now it's an economic drag on London and would become one on Dublin should unification occur.

      Tbf in many developed nations (and even a few lesser-developed nations) the attitude towards a diverse ethnic composition is improving so it will be interesting to see how many of these divisions start to fade as time goes on.
      For example, I personally think that the Northern Ireland/Republic of Ireland division will probably only last another decade or two until the religiosity of both sides is low enough that the origin of the divide isn't relevant anymore. That's especially likely if England continues to shoot itself in the foot at every possible opportunity, as unlike Wales or Scotland they'd be able to instantly gain another source of economic support, which for better or for worse all three definitely need to some extent or another.
