The world is full of countries that have only come into existence in the last couple of hundred years, or even in the last few decades, while changes to borders are happening every day.

About This Quote

If a country is more than a few decades old, it’s virtually guaranteed that it was founded on the basis of a long-established ethnic group. On the other hand, if a country comes into existence in more recent years, it might have been founded on religious or political grounds, or it might have been created as a result of a diaspora. In either case, you shouldn’t assume that these countries are permanent fixtures.
