Split countries list
Name a country that is split into different sections and explain why it’s that way.
• USA 🇺🇸: The United States is split because it purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867, creating a non-contiguous part of the country separated by Canada.
• Azerbaijan 🇦🇿: Azerbaijan is divided because the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, populated predominantly by ethnic Armenians, sought independence and eventually declared itself the Republic of Artsakh. This has led to ongoing conflict and territorial disputes.
• Palestine 🇵🇸: Palestine is divided due to ongoing conflict with Israel, resulting in fragmented governance in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
• Russia 🇷🇺: Russia has a European section and an Asian section, divided by the Ural Mountains. Its vast territory is a result of historical expansion during the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.
