1.a.) Mali is a country located in North West Africa and it is likely to spilt into two due to cultural differences, it is likely to divide right at a cultural boundary between the Muslims and the Malians.
b.)N. and S. Korea located on the Korean Peninsula in Asia. The Koreas are likely to unite and create a single Korea. Which will most definitely be an economic superpower.
2.a.)My first boundary is in Mali, Mali is in Western Africa. Mali is having some internal disputes which could lead to diversion. These major conflicts first started over two years ago on January 16th, 2012. Multiple rebellious groups that opposed the Malian government, began fighting a campaign for independence, or at least more freedom for Azawad (the Northern part of Mali). Soon enough, the rebels took control of Azawad in April 2012 and declared independence on April 6th of 2012. Just one day after the rebels said they achieved all their goals and they were going to back down. The rebels then got backed up by several Islamist small groups, and also a large Islamist group, the Ansar Dine. Azawad rebels and the Islamist groups were having trouble “ruling” together due to the difference in the visions they had for their new intended state. By July 17th, the Malian rebels lost almost all of the Northern cities to the Islamists. Things were getting so bad that the Malian government had to ask foreign militaries to come and help gain control over the North again. The French responded, and had troops in Mali in January of 2013. Later other African Union states joined the French and Militaries which soon helped re-take the islamist territory an give it back to the Malian government on February 8th, 2013. But unfortunately, that isn’t the end of this war, the rebels were still fighting for their territories back. Eventually the government issued a peace deal, which the Tuareg rebels signed on June 18th 2013, but just 8 days later they pulled out of the deal, and the Northern and Southern parts of Mali have been fighting ever since.
b.) The North and South of Korea are likely to unite, just like other countries have such as East and West Germany that united to create the unified Germany we know today. The Koreas were once unified, but with in the last century, they split up, creating what we know as North and South Korea. The president of South Korea has been recently has been talking about reunifying and is very serious about it. Reunifying will help both countries by having more access to resources, larger workforce and of course and even stronger military.
3.a.)The new boundaries formed in Mali will be cultural boundaries, these help separate people and groups that want to be separated, which will greatly minimize the devolutionary forces.
b.)The new boundaries for the joined Korea will be physical boundaries(the Korean Peninsula)
4.a.) the devolutionary forces in Mali will definitely decrease when the country becomes two independent states, because now that they are separated, what’s to fight about? In
b.)Korea on the other hand, they have had some tension between each other in the past and mushing the two states into one, will definitely increase the devolutionary forces, which could lead to them splitting again..
