I think you are fairly close in general terms. The world is full of countries with boundaries that do not coincide with ethnic/cultural divisions - and history is full of wars over these, as are the newspapers (think Kurds in Iraq/Turkey for a current war, or in the past Alsace-Lorraine as examples). But in many parts of the world the adjoining countries are on sufficiently good terms that they don't fight over it - for example most of Europe, or have agreed not to fight over borders even if not on good terms - for example most of Africa.
We even have the same sort of a problem on a local scale with state or local government boundaries, but these rarely if ever lead to violence (although it is easy to see that they could if it were not that the constitution places all armed forces under the Federal Government!)
