    The document discusses the Antarctic land dispute between seven countries that maintain territorial claims in Antarctica and those like the United States that do not recognize those claims. The conflict began when the Antarctic Treaty system was formed in 1961 but did not take effect until June 23rd of that year. The treaty was established to make Antarctica a nuclear-free zone for peacefully resolving conflicts over overlapping territorial claims.
