Enclave and
exclave are words practically to express territory problems. Exclave, according
the Revers Dictionary, is a part of a country entirely surrounded by foreign territory.
Different from exclave, an enclave is a country that has a peace of other
country inside its territory.
A perfect example of this territory problem is Brandenburg.
Germany was divided into four parts after World War II, one for each of
the victorious powers. Berlin did the same. In the early 50 occupied by the
Western Allies (France, UK and USA) became part of the Federal Republic of
Germany, and the Soviet side in the Democratic Germany. Berlin was also divided
into four, and the Soviet side joined the FRA. West Berlin was, therefore, as
an island within the FRA. An enclave. But the city, at the same time, had
several small enclaves within Brandenburg who were in the British and American
occupation. Enclaves of an enclave!!!
