Borders change over time and are often invisible to notice. Ever since humans inhabited the earth in different areas of the world and created nations based on ethnic and cultural groups, borders are a major cause of wars and conflicts as well as peace treaties. Over the years, regions across the globe have changed dramatically as nations exchanged lands, and formatted a new world map.
