User:Jun-Dai/Post-WWII border changes

This is an attempt to create a list/timeline of border changes post-WWII with some sort of categorisation.

Obviously, some of these are disputed, and the dates will vary depending on whose recognition you are going with.

There is a lot missing, particularly in the formation of post-colonial nations, which I will try to add in over time.
