Współczesne zabory – narody bezpaństwowe podzielone granicami

Abstract

The study contains the results of a geopolitical cartographic and linguistic analysis of the situation of stateless nations and ethnic groups. The aim of the analysis was to create a complete list of nations whose countries are divided by a modern state borders. Most often, such countries are separated by one border, so they are under the rule of two countries, but it turned out that there are cases of partitions where the country is torn between five political entities. There are 229 nations and ethnic groups that meet the criteria established in the study, and the largest of them are presented in more detail. Most of them live in Sub-Saharan Africa and that is where the most ethnic conflicts occur.
