1. Irredentism

   Irredentism is any position of a state advocating annexation of territories administered by another state on the grounds of common ethnicity or prior historical possession, actual or alleged. It is often advocated by pan-nationalist movements and has been a repeated feature of identity politics, cultural and political geography. Because most borders have been moved and redrawn over time, a great many countries could theoretically present irredentist claims to their neighbors. Germany's Anschluss of Austria and annexation of the German-speaking Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia in 1938, and a return of territory from Czechoslovakia to Hungary as a result of the First Vienna Award, are perhaps the best known historical examples of this idea in practice. Some nation states have been the subject of potential irredentism from their inception. The states of post-World War I Eastern Europe, created from the Austro-Hungarian Empire; the Balkans, and the Near East had borders carved out by the Allies that left many of the new states in those regions unsatisfied. There were minority populations and conflicting historical claims to territory in each case. Similarly, many territories and nations in Africa had borders determined by power struggles among the European colonial powers, rather than reflecting historical ethnic and language groupings. The result split ethnic groups between different countries, such as the Yoruba who are divided between Nigeria and Benin. In some cases, the irredentist arguments have continued past the Second World War and on to the present day.
