Border disputes refer to disagreements between countries, states, or territories over the ownership or control of a particular geographical area.
Territoriality: This is the connection of people, their culture, and their economic systems to the land. It's like your personal attachment to your bedroom in your family home.
Sovereignty: This refers to a state's ability to govern itself or another state or territory. It's like being the captain of your own ship - you're in charge!
Partitioning: This is when a larger region is divided into several smaller ones. Imagine breaking up a chocolate bar into smaller pieces so it can be shared.
