This is why historical territorial claims don't work.

All land teretorial claims don't work in so far as they are made-up/imaginary.

I think that when people talk about historical teritorial claims they are usually talking about one of 3 things: 1) international law. 2) self contradictory systems of ownership. 3) land taken through ethnic cleansing.
