A World map of Disputed Territories

This interactive territorial disputes map, showing conflicts range from major wars whose impacts are felt around world, to minor disagreements…

Most of the world is divided neatly into distinct nations with clearly defined borders. The World map of Disputed Territories is about the locations that do not fit that model, those territories that are claimed by more than one country / occupying force. The conflicts range from major wars whose impacts are felt around world (e.g. Islamic State) to minor disagreements over remote, uninhabited rocks (e.g. Rockall Island).
