Historically divided islands

Other islands have been divided by an international border in the past but are now unified.

The definite borders of modern nation-states do not apply in other forms of societal organisation, where "divided" islands may consequently be less noteworthy.

Examples of formerly divided islands include:

A few former islands have disappeared:
