Of course, there are numerous other examples of partitions around the globe, some famous examples being Ireland, Cyprus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Korea, Kosovo, Sudan, to name just a few. It was only in 1993 when the country once called Czechoslovakia partitioned into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Of course, whilst not every partition has happened for the same reasons, the underlying issues are usually the same, simmering ethnic, religious, cultural and language differences.
After World War II Europe’s borders, particularly in central and Eastern Europe, changed radically, and with that came huge population displacements, transfers, and resettlements. The Sudetenland Germans were expelled from what was then Czechoslovakia, despite those Germans having lived in the region for almost a thousand years. Ethnic Germans, Poles and Hungarians were displaced from many parts of Eastern Europe. Modern day Gdansk was once the city of Danzig, part of the Duchy of Prussia.
You might not know this, but we now live in a stupid time with many stupid people. Our media is filled with profoundly stupid people. Our education system has been hijacked by radical Marxist ignoramus activists. What intrigues me is that so many stupid people, particularly stupid young people, seem to think that there has only ever been one country created from partition, the country called Israel.
