50+ International Borders Around The World

History (and sometimes, unfortunately, current events) shows us how easily international borders can change, but we still like to think they are permanent fixtures. These photos of different national borders show how friendly and hostile nations want to fence off their turf.

Borders will often say much about countries’ relationships. The international borders between friendly nations, especially those in the European Union’s Schengen zone, can seem almost non-existent, marked by no more than a line or a road sign. Other international borders are delineated by natural markers like rivers or man-made markers, like guard posts and demilitarized zones. (H/T)
