This article identifies the general criteria for inclusion of cases in the
territorial change data set and describes basic patterns on some relevant dimensions
of territorial changes. The data set, which identifies and codes all territorial
changes involving at least one nation-state (as defined by the Correlates
of War project), has been updated to cover the period from 1816 through
1996. Using these general criteria, we were able to identify 817 territorial changes
over the period studied.
