▶ In this video I speculate about some countries that could, and even might, balkanize in the near future. Understanding which these countries are and why they could effectively break up - or at least why that danger exists. From the separatist ethnic groups in Pakistan, to the internal conflicts of Yemen and Libya; not to mention the everlasting internal struggles of different peoples living within a single nation - such as Spain, Belgium or even the United Kingdom.

    07:41 You have overlooked Chechnya, which is around 96% Chechen and has fought a war in independence in the past. All it would take is for Russia to lose in Ukraine for Kadyrov to seize on Russia's hour of weakness to try for independence again. After that it could embolden other republics where Russians are not the majority to follow suit, such as Dagestan and Kalmykia.

    Suppose we could add the United states as a potential country that could balkanize. We already have some "states" acting counter to the federal government as opposed to in tandem like they're supposed to. Though it seems like its going the way Rome did, infrastructure gradually decaying as the centralized governments power wanes. Everything has a size at which it's no longer possible to maintain and must fall apart after all.

    Countries in general are much less likely to break up than they used to be as the most powerful international organizations prefer sheer status quo over any liberation or unification movements, Whatever the world's borders are at present most organizations are trying to prevent them from changing as much as possible to reduce overall chaos and unpredictability Even when perhaps a natural collapse should be permitted for a reorganization This isn't to say it never happens at all in fact borders do change all the time but there active resources and groups trying to prevent it especially on larger scales. If smaller wars get support and backing it is in the name of preventing larger wars

    Reason to Baluchistan : On the Independence of India and Pakistan all states and regions had the option of joining the 2 nations or stay independent. Baluchistan couldn't join India due to geographic issues so chose independence. But despite promises from Pakistan it was annexed by them within an year of independence. Hence the 70+ year long issue
