Summary/Abstract: International boundaries are man made separation lines which divided between more then 200 different states which exist to day all over our globs. Anyhow, all of today's boundaries were created in the past; sometimes some years ago, sometimes some decades ago and some boundaries were even established some hundred years ago. By this, they are legitimate targets for historical geography research.
