Which European countries are still having disputes over these territories:Golan Heights, Falkland islands, Macedonia, Gibraltar, and why , state the reasons for the disputes?
1. Golan Heights - Israel and Syria have been in dispute over the Golan Heights since the Six-Day War in 1967. Israel captured the territory from Syria and later annexed it in 1981, a move that was not recognized by the international community. Syria continues to claim sovereignty over the Golan Heights and has called for its return to its control.
2. Falkland Islands - Argentina and the United Kingdom have had a long-standing dispute over the Falkland Islands, known as the Malvinas in Argentina. The two countries went to war over the territory in 1982, with the UK ultimately emerging victorious. Argentina continues to claim sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, citing historical reasons and geographic proximity.
3. Macedonia - Greece and North Macedonia (formerly the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) have had a dispute over the name of the latter country. Greece objected to the country's use of the name "Macedonia," arguing that it implied territorial claims over the Greek region of the same name. The two countries reached a compromise in 2018, with North Macedonia agreeing to change its name to end the dispute.
4. Gibraltar - Spain and the United Kingdom have had a dispute over the sovereignty of Gibraltar for centuries. The territory has been under British control since 1713, but Spain continues to claim sovereignty over it. The dispute has led to tensions between the two countries, with Spain periodically closing its border with Gibraltar and the UK refusing to engage in bilateral talks on the territory's status.
