Is there a territorial dispute in the United States?

Is there a territorial dispute in the United States? Yes, it can be said responsibly that there are territorial disputes in the United States. Only these territorial disputes are too small to attract our attention. The United States has at least seven serious territorial disputes, including those with Canada, Haiti, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Colombia and Marshall, but the public pays little attention to these disputes.

As we all know, the United States is the country with the strongest comprehensive strength in the world. The strength has made Americans so strong that few countries around them dare to compete with the United States on territorial issues, otherwise they will be beaten down in minutes. Americans are also more helpful, and established friendly agreements with Mexico and Canada in North America earlier, without mutual aggression. Some people say that Canada and Mexico are the back gardens and military buffer zones of the United States.

There are also objective reasons why there is no fierce territorial dispute between the United States and other countries: First, when the United States was founded, it basically started from an independent land, and there were no other countries around, so the territorial scope and area were established early. Moreover, the number of outlying islands in the United States is very small, and there is not much competition with other countries on overseas islands. Since the founding of the United States, there has only been one civil war in North America, and there has never been a big fight with other countries because of territorial disputes. Second, the places where the early North American continent was invaded by American force were basically former colonies, and there was no sense of sovereignty at all. After being invaded by America, they were invaded.

There is a long border between the United States and Canada, so it is normal for some territorial disputes to occur. For a long time, Canada, the younger brother of the United States, has been loyal to his older brother under the protection of the United States. The border between the two countries is undefended, which shows the degree of mutual trust. Moreover, the strength of the Canadian army is not enough for the American army to fight. Instead of thinking about how to confront the United States, it is better to please the United States as much as possible. Even though the relationship between the two sides is very good, there has been endless debate on issues involving the core territory, especially on issues that can bring benefits at this stage.

Among the territorial disputes between the United States and Canada, the dispute between Mount Asan Island in Marci and a nearby rock reef, the delimitation of Alaska's narrow territory and Dixon entrance are key issues. The Alaska Panhandle is located in the south of Alaska, USA. It is a long and narrow strip, backed by Canada and left by the Pacific Ocean. Although the overall latitude here is relatively high, Juno, the capital of Alaska, is here because there are warm currents passing through all the year round and the temperature is suitable. More importantly, there are very rich fishery resources here. For Canada, this is also a high-quality seaport, so we must win it. Unfortunately, the last time the International Committee reduced the core area of Alaska to the United States.

Dixon entrance is located between Alaska, USA and British Columbia, Canada, and there are differences on demarcation between the two countries. Finally, I want to talk about Machia Island, where the dispute is the highest in the history of the United States and Canada. Marca Island is a small island with only 20 acres and no trees, but it is rich in bird resources, and many tourists visit it every year. However, this is not the point. The point is that there are very rich lobster resources around Marca Island. In the middle of last year, Canadian fishermen were stopped by American armed forces when they went fishing in the sea, which once made Canada angry.

The superficial conflict between the two countries can only be superficial, and the internal motivation is the core. Since Trump took office, he has not been polite to Canada at all. It does not mean that Canada's trade protection means that Canada has sent a large number of illegal immigrants to the United States. After the U.S. government began to impose sanctions on Canada, the Canadian government also relentlessly waved a trade sanctions stick at the United States. In addition, the United States has some minor territorial disputes in the Caribbean.
