No man's land
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No man's land is land that is not part of any country. More precisely, it is an area that is under dispute and not occupied because of fear or uncertainty. During war (especially World War I), it is a term used for the area of land between two enemy trenches. Neither side wanted to openly move on or take control of because they feared being attacked by the enemy in the process.
It is also a term for the stretch of land between two border posts. A person is in no man's land when one exits one country at their border post and then enters the next country at their border post, usually just a few meters away.
