&gt;The complexities at Baarle resulted from the independence of Belgium from the<br/>

&gt;British India into India and Pakistan (later Bangladesh).   Sastavci resulted<br/>
&gt;from the disintegration of Yugoslavia.  The former West Berlin resulted from the<br/>
&gt;partition of Germany among the Four Powers.  The many iffy enclaves found<br/>
&gt;scattered about the post-Soviet republics resulted from the dissolution of the<br/>
&gt;USSR.<br/>

national enclaves when the larger entity you talk about was divided. <br/>
It only explains their current status, not their origin.<br/>
