List of border conflicts

The following is a '''list of border conflicts''' between two or more countries. The list includes only those fought because of border disputes. See list of territorial disputes for those that do not involve fighting. Over 50% of the world’s borders today were drawn as a result of British and French imperialism. The British and French drew the modern borders of the Middle East, 80% of the borders of Africa, in Asia after the independence of the British Raj and French Indochina and the borders of Europe after World War I as victors, as a result of the Paris treaties.<ref name=Manning-1990>{{cite book |last=Manning |first=Patrick |title=Slavery and African Life: Occidental, Oriental, and African Slave Trades |publisher=Cambridge University Press |location=London |year=1990}}</ref><ref name="Lovejoy, Paul E. 2012">Lovejoy, Paul E.
