And because of this, these are often hard lines drawn in the sand that determine who gets to cross. But that doesn't mean they all make sense! In fact, some international borders are incredibly bizarre! In this video, we'll cover the 10 weirdest borders I could find and I explain how they came to be. The borders included are: 1. Belgium - Netherlands' Baarle-Hertog 2. Ireland - Northern Ireland's N54 Road 3. Croatia - Bosnia Herzegovina's Neum Corridor 4. Egypt - Sadan's Hala'ib Triangle and Bir Tawil 5. Senegal - The Gambia's river buffer 6. Namibia's Caprivi Strip 7. UAE - Oman's Madha and Nahway exclaves 8. Uzbekistan - Kyrgyzstan - Tajikistan's Fergana Valley 9. Guatemala - Belize's disputed border 10. Venezuela - Guyana's Essequibo conundrum -- Stock footage and music acquired from www.envato.com, www.storyblocks.com and videvo.net.
