Subsequent - Many countries were trying to reshape the values of the African people but some only saw them as slave workersĪntecedent - Berlin Conference, 14 states divided up Africa without consideration of existing cultures When the Isrealites made the land better the Palestinians wanted it back but couldn't get it. Relict - In Isreal the Palestinians gave the Isrealites land in Isreal that was believed unusable. Subsequent - After the dissolution of the SFRY Serbia does not see Kosovo as a soverign state but as its own southern province.Īntecedent - Egypt and the gaza strip incident with Isreal The border between the North and South Vietnam is a fine example. An example of this would be the border between China and Vietnam was the result of a long term process of adjustment and modification.Īn antecedent boudaries are bounderies that were defined and delimited before the present-day human landscape was developed.Ī good example is the border between Malaysia and Indonesia on the island of Borneo.Ī relict boundary is a border that has ceased to function but whose imprints are still evident on the cultural landscape. Subsequent boundary-Libya, bought by the United States as a haven for former slavesĪ) A subsequent boundary is a boundary evolved as the cultural landscape of an area takes shape. Relic boundary-a political boundary that has ceased to function but the imprint of which can still be detected on the cultural landscapeĮxample: the old boundary between east Germany and west Germany and the Berlin wallĪntecedent and subsequent boundary-Palestine and boundary of Israel As the cultural landscape developed, the border was drawn to accommodate religious, cultural, and economic differences.Īntecedent boundary-a political boundary that existed before the cultural landscape emerged and stayed in place while people moved in to occupy the surrounding area.Įxample: the 49th parallel boundary, dividing the United States and Canada between the Pacific Ocean and Lake of the Woods in northernmost Minnesota. Last, but not least, a Relict boundary would be the Suez Canal, which had been taken by the Israelites, and kept until Egypt would recognize their statehood.Ī) subsequent boundary-a political boundary that developed contemporaneously with the evolution of the major elements of the cultural landscape through which it passesĮxample: border between northern ireland and ireland. A subsequent boundary could be considered Libya, which was made by the US to allow former slaves to go to, if they pleased. An Antecedent boundary would be Egypt, before it had a quaint skirmish with the Israelites. As for a Relict boundary, I cannot say that I am fully aware of any at this time.Īs for Africa, almost any and all superimposed boundaries come from European colonies sprouting up below their native continent. An Antecedent boundary would have been Palestine in the first place, followed by a Subsequent boundary of Israel. When it comes to superimposed boundaries in Southwest Asia, Palestinians and Israelites are the first people to spring to mind. The Berlin wall would work as well, I suppose.ī. The first example that ever comes to mind, would be the Great Wall of China. When looking at the United States, we could say that the states are antecedent boundaries, if we were to neglect the prior inheritance of the Native Americans.Ī Relict boundary is one such boundary that is no longer in use today. A grand example of such a boundary would be post-WWII era Berlin, which had a wall placed between West and South Berlin.Īn Antecedent boundary, on the other hand, is a boundary set up before there ever was a boundary in place. A Subsequent boundary is one that has been put in place after a border had already been established.
