Yeah, it's kinda stupid that they are fighting over a tiny icy barren uninhabited island in the middle of the Arctic Ocean using google ads.

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.

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.

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.

The website heavily features conservative Americans who are heavily pro-Turkish and anti-Greek following the line of Kissinger who despised Greeks.

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.

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.
