In this episode of General Knowledge I talk about the border change that's happening between Switzerland and Italy at the Matterhorn Mountain in the Alps. I explain how borders aren't a fixed thing, despite how rare it is for changes to happen in modern times. Then we learn about the various minor changes and adjustments that Switzerland has made in its border with Italy but also with France - due to the melting of ice, shifting courses of rivers, among others. All of this while learning a little bit of the background history of the border between these two countries and their predecessors, which dates back to the Napoleonic period.
