This probably happens a lot more than you realize. Border and geographic name disputes can get very political and potentially violent.
Off the top of my head:
* Persian/Arabian Gulf
* Palestine/Israel
* Western Sahara/Morocco
* Kashmir

- izacus 7y agoKosovo and Macedonia could also be added to that list. Not to mention myriad of minor border disputes pretty much everywhere across the world.
- duskwuff 7y agoAnother big one: naming of oceans in southeast Asia. There's the South China Sea / West Philipppine Sea, for example, or the Sea of Japan / Sea of Korea / East Sea.
- improbable22 7y ago* Antarctica! Every map you see in Chile & Argentina includes a large pie-slice of the continent... and pretty close to being the same pie slice as each other's. Not to mention some islands which one of them tried to take over, once upon a time.
- Freak_NL 7y ago* The Netherlands/Germany https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=10/53.4786/6.6982 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=10/53.4786/6.6982 Note the overlapping borders that makes a bit of sea part of both countries. This is strictly a non-violent matter of differing border interpretations though, with almost no judicial or maritime consequences.
