territorial conflict
Fight over land
Territorial conflict is a dispute over land, borders, or geographic control.
The term applies to nations contesting boundaries, animals defending habitat, or any clash where physical space is at stake.
The territorial conflict between the two countries has simmered for decades.
Such conflicts may be violent or diplomatic, brief skirmishes or generations-long standoffs.
