Buffer states are countries that lie between two rival powers, serving to prevent conflict between them. Historical examples include Poland, which acted as a buffer between Germany and Russia, and Afghanistan, which served a similar role between British India and the Russian Empire in the 19th century. In more recent times, countries like Mongolia have functioned as a buffer state between China and Russia. These states often maintain a degree of neutrality to avoid becoming battlegrounds for greater powers.
