Why did you call them westphalian borders in the graphic? What's the connection between Westphalia and Oman here?
Westphalian borders in the sense of the Westphalian states. Aka, each of the countries ends at a defined and demarcated line instead of areas of influences. You could think of it as “modern borders”. I don't know if the term is also used in English, but last time I posted it (on Reddit) nobody questioned it, asked about that part, I learnt it at the university in my geography course.
It is Wikipedia – Westphalian system.
I genuinely didn't know that is a general term. Thanks for clarifying!
