You, the colonizer, land on an island with three tribes. Call them Lions, Tigers, and Bears. The Lions are 50% of the population, and control 80% of the wealth. The Tigers are 40% of the population and control 15% of the wealth. The Bears are 10% of the population and have 5% of the wealth. You recruit the Bears to be your army and promise them 10% of the wealth. They love you because you’ve made them richer than they were before, and they get pay back against the folks who were their enemies forever.
You forgot the most important part: With the help of the Bears, you subjugate all three tribes, steal their wealth, murder their people, and eradicate their culture.
they would have created borders in a way, that one country always consists of two nations/tribes that don’t like each other.
the map simply shows straightened borders for existing countries…
…and call that country “Belgium”
How dare you use that word!
Like a Yugoslavia?
Colonization 101.
