Name a Valid Country by Disputed Area

just looked it up, hilarious lol

Good news, everyone - the fight is over.

The majority of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir is controlled by India (and the rest by Pakistan). China doesn't even border it. Are you talking about Akshai Chin, which China claims to control?

Very fun. I don't think that the Maldives has ever laid claim to the Chagos Archipelago. Since the Law of the Sea, the Maldives may be affected by the dispute between Mauritius and the U.K., but that's different than making a claim over it.

It has recently joined the battle. Looking for a bit more sand maybe.

I've just looked again. I can't find any reference to the Maldivian government making any claim on the Chagos Archipelago at all. It looks like all that matters to the Maldives is how any resolution affects international sea boundaries. Unlike Minicoy/Maliku - the southernmost island in Lakshadweep - there's no history of Maldivian settlement (or even knowledge of) Chagos at any point prior to British colonization.

I live on the Strait of Juan De Fuca and never even knew about a boundary dispute. But there are a lot of Spanish place names on the southwest coast of Canada - Juan De Fuca, Tofino, Port Alberni, Galiano Island, Cortes Island, Quadra Island, San Juan Islands, etc.

Same... Had no idea there was any dispute. Have lived here my whole life.

Las Islas Malvinas Argentina.

Huh, pretty wild that I live on the Juan de Fuca Strait (Victoria, BC) but never knew of the boundary dispute!

Cool quiz, but I would suggest making Greece bold for the Aegean, since they do in fact own almost all the islands in it, which are also populated by Greeks - despite Erdogan's imperialistic pipe dreams.

Ladakh makes up about half the territory of India's Jammu and Kashmir state.

Jammu and Kashmir is not a state(but a Union territory) and Ladakh is not part of it. Forget about the dispute, China doesn't even border J&K

You're right on both counts. Ladakh only became a separate region in 2019 though.

Great quiz, very interesting

I'm somewhat surprised only 39% answered Spratly correctly when that's the territorial dispute that is probably most likely to lead to a US-China conflict.

I will try my best to get Jetpunk banned here in France for their SCANDALOUS, IMPERIALISTIC, FASCIST, and TREACHEROUS claim about the Mont Blanc. MONTBLANC JE FRANCUSKA ! MONT BLANC JE FRANCUSKA !!

I'm kidding, of course. Here in France, nobody really knows, much less cares, about that "territorial dispute". I suspect it's the same in Italy!

Yup

They are such pretty regions!

Hans Island Dispute has now been solved, they are splitting the island between them, so no longer a disputed area :)
