The Alaska-Canada border.
The actual border (yellow) appears to be a compromise between the Canadian claim (brown) and the American one (blue) [green was the claim of British Columbia]
The UK didn't really care about Canadian intersts and tryed to mollify the USA, so the modern border cuts off all Canadian access in northern British Columbia and the Yukon to the sea

US-Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI): the Territories of Guam and American Sāmoa (AS), the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI), the Republic of Palau (RP), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). While citizens of Guam and CNMI are U.S. citizens, those from AS are U.S. Nationals. Under the Compact of Free Association (COFA) citizens from FSM, RP, and RMI are permitted to live and work in the U.S. without visas, and the U.S. armed forces may operate in COFA areas.

Joint War Plans Committee plans: JWPC 385/1

For a short time, during WW2, the Allied Forces discussed an occupation plan that would have divided Japan into four occupation zones. This plan was known as the Joint War Plans Committee plans: JWPC 385/1. Japan would have been divided between the United States, the Soviet Union, the Republic of China and the British Empire, the 4 victors of WW2.

The purpose behind the plan was to ensure that the burdens of occupation were spread evenly to ensure that it was manageable. The US State Department planners believed at least 800,000 soldiers would be needed to occupy Japan and pacify a potentially still fanatical and militant population or rogue military hardliners that might still continue to fight Japan despite the official declaration of surrender by the Emperor of Japan. The US wanted to share this burden and so planned to have Japan divided like Germany

The Treaty of Tartu [October 1920] (Finland–Russia) was enacted following a significant armed conflict, often referred to as the Second Finno-Soviet War, that took place between Finland and Soviet Russia from March 1918 to May 1920. This conflict unfolded concurrently with the Russian Civil War. Sparked by Finland's annexation of several Soviet districts in East Karelia, which was executed by Finnish expeditionary forces, the conflict has never been officially recognized as a "war" by either Finnish or Soviet historiography.

The treaty delineated new boundaries between Finland and Soviet Russia, with Finland acquiring Petsamo (marked in red). This acquisition allowed Finland access to the Arctic Ocean through a strategic corridor, including the valuable frost-free port of Petsamo and the region's nickel mines. Meanwhile, the previously annexed regions of Repola and Porajärvi (marked in green) reverted to Soviet Russia

From 1808 to 1821, Rio de Janeiro was the capital of the Portuguese Empire,
this situation prompted by Napoleon's invasion of Portugal. Dom João, the prince regent for Queen Maria I, relocated the royal court and government to Brazil, enabling the Portuguese government to administer its empire from Rio while the Portuguese kept fighting France’s expansion. The court stayed in Rio even after Napoleon's defeat. In 1815, the Portuguese Empire was restructured into the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves, making Rio the official capital and marking the only instance of a European nation governed from a colony. However, the 1820 Liberal Revolution of Porto called for the return of the monarch and court to Portugal, ending Rio's status as the capital
