> Crimea is the first time a nation state has meaningfully changed its borders that I know of since WW2. I took a look out of curiosity, and there have been a lot more border changes in the world than I was expecting. Lots due to decolonization in Africa. The partition of India in 1947 was huge. Lots of European changes, of course. Many small border cleanups. The changes go on for page. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_border_changes_since_World_War_I https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_border_change... (That page is since WWI, so skip to 1945.)
