re: #25 lawhawk

I’d go back a wee bit further than that. I’d see it as the ongoing and further wages of WWI - the breakup of the Ottoman Empire and the colonial division of the spoils of that war seeing as the borders were largely set in the interwar period and many of the monarchies were installed during that time.

I don’t think it would make any difference. No matter how far back you could roll back the maps and borders or apply some alternative history nothing would really change. Borders have always been in dispute no matter who draws them up or when.
