2nd review ever after years. Expanded 5x from a single sentence, sources scholarly and seem high-quality, a few copyedit needed. The fact that the cession happened after more than 60 years of negotiation might be worth mentioning in the hook. PetéWarrior (talk) 20:34, 17 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
- Done some copyediting fixing a few grammatical issues and changed the hook to reflect the length of the dispute, let me know if there are other issues Giulio 09:04, 18 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
  - Looks good to me, added dashes to the hook. Still, might need a second opinion since I'm new at this. PetéWarrior (talk) 12:54, 19 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
