Border

edit

The Denmark–Germany border is 68 kilometres (42 mi) long and separates  Denmark and  Germany.

In 1864,  Schleswig-Holstein was conquered by Prussia, and so an international border was created between Denmark and Germany/Schleswig-Holstein. It went from a place at the coast 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Ribe, rounded Ribe on 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) distance, then went eastbound just south of Vamdrup, and just north of Christiansfeld to the Baltic Sea.

In 1920, the border was moved about 50 kilometres (31 mi) southwards to the present position, as determined by the Schleswig referendum in 1920. This approximately followed the not clearly defined language border.

Canada–U.S. border

edit

The Canada–United States border is the longest international border in the world. The terrestrial boundary (including boundaries in the Great Lakes, Atlantic, and Pacific coasts) is 8,891 km (5,525 mi) long. The land border has two sections: Canada's border with the contiguous United States to its south, and with the U.S. state of  Alaska to its west. The bi-national International Boundary Commission deals with matters relating to marking and maintaining the boundary, and the International Joint Commission deals with issues concerning boundary waters. The agencies currently responsible for facilitating legal passage through the international boundary are the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The length of the terrestrial boundary is 8,891 km (5,525 mi), of which 6,416 km (3,987 mi) is against the contiguous 48 states, and 2,475 km (1,538 mi) against  Alaska. Eight out of thirteen provinces and territories of Canada and thirteen out of fifty U.S. states are located along this international boundary.

The entire Canada–U.S. border in the provinces of both  Alberta and  Saskatchewan lies along the 49th parallel north. Both provinces share borders with the state of  Montana, while, farther east, Saskatchewan also shares a border with  North Dakota.

Along with the U.S. states of North Dakota and  Minnesota (west to east), nearly the entire Canada–U.S. border in  Manitoba lies along the 49th parallel north. At the province's eastern end, however, the border briefly enters the Lake of the Woods, turning north at 48°59′N 95°09′W where it continues into land along the western end of Minnesota's Northwest Angle, the only part of the United States besides the state of  Alaska that is north of the 49th parallel. The border reaches Ontario at 49°23′N 95°09′W.

Nunavut

 Nunavut is the largest and northernmost territory of Canada. It was separated officially from the  Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999, via the Nunavut Act and the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act, which provided this territory to the Inuit for independent government. The boundaries had been drawn in 1993. The creation of Nunavut resulted in the first major change to Canada's political map in half a century since the province of  Newfoundland was admitted in 1949.
