  1. This post mainly discusses Western Maryland want to separate from the United States. There are two reasons why some people tend to separate the states. The first reason is political polarization. Because of the rural-urban divide, rural residents barely have their views represent. Therefore, some people want to form new states to best represent them. Also, there are quite different economically. Cities generally have higher incomes, but pay taxes to the government on both low and high incomes. The second reason is party fatigue. Strzelczyk frustrated with policy. He thought that the government interfered too much in personal liberty such as guns and gay marriage. Thus, people want to live in a smaller state, they want to have more personal liberty, less government intrusion, less federal entanglements. In fact, it is incredibly difficult to form a new statehood, but it will make the government notice that people are fed up.

  2. This article introduces us to the boundary contradictions in the Middle East. It can be said that it has a long history, which can be traced back to the 18th century to modern times. Although Britain did not disturb the Middle East in modern times, there were still problems. Not only are there some frictions about the boundary line, but also a lot of them are about the conflict of culture, thought and religion. This has also led to constant friction between some countries.

  3. This report is about the Middle East border. Conflicts began inthe 16th 1 century, followed by regional wars triggered by the intervention of Western powers such as Britain and France. But the reason for these conflicts is not just the manipulation of the great powers. These include cultural, religious, political, and racial issues. These aspects need to be addressed if the conflict is to be halted.

  4. The article Stop Blaming Colonial Borders for the Middle East’s Problems is show the problem of borders. The article is about the empire’s borders in the Middle East, has led to a particularly high number of deaths as a result of conflicts between countries, drawing criticism from many countries and people. Some countries and people hope that they can improve the demarcation of their borders, which will reduce the occurrence of many violent incidents, but in fact, this overestimates the authenticity of the borders of the Middle East region, in fact, improving the demarcation of borders will not weaken the direct contradictions between countries and countries may also lead to greater differences.It was also thought that the situation might have been smoother if the colony’s inhabitants had resolved the issue of border demarcation on their own. But that was what happened in the Balkans, where local leaders demarcated their borders and the fighting continued throughout the 1990s.

  5. This article is about the border problem in the Middle East. Border problems in the Middle East have caused resentment among many countries and led to an especially high death toll. Some countries and peoples hope that they can improve their defined borders, which will reduce a lot of violence, but in fact, this overestimates the reality of borders in the Middle East. In fact, improving borders does not weaken countries and direct conflicts between countries may also lead to greater differences. The Soviets thought they would be able to draw precise borders but they didn’t take into account that the two countries would be independent. But these words do little to ease the state-to-state tensions that are the main cause of violence in the Middle East. Focusing on bad borders can lead people to take permanent identity-based violence for granted, leading to policies that end up exacerbating the very conflicts they’re trying to resolve.
