This map shows the countries that are involved in a land or border

dispute of some kind throughout the world. It categorizes their conflicts


according to their gravity, ranging from dormant disputes to active
conflicts. Central and Western Africa, Asia and the Middle East emerge
as the areas of the world with most active territorial conflicts. The
countries that are shaded grey do not have any disputes. The most
interesting dispute to me that this map shows is that Portugal refuses
to recognize territory, even though Spain has controlled it for two
centuries. This dispute is because of different interpretations of the
1815 Congress of Vienna and the 1801 Treaty of Badajoz.
