21 Amazing Photos Of International Borders Around The World

The borders between nations can tell you a lot about how countries fence off their turf. They also, in a way, show us what their relationships are with their neighboring countries. Borders between friendly nations can almost seem non-existent, while others are marked by guard posts and demilitarized zones.

History played a huge part in setting these borders but the reality is, sometimes (unfortunately) current events can change them awfully quickly. We are of course hoping that doesn’t happen anytime soon, or better yet, never. Here are 21 national borders from around the world.
