Why are some countries landlocked? In the case of Bolivia its because they lost a war with Chile.
Ethiopia and Serbia granted independence to the parts of their countries that had a coast.
Some countries like uzbekistan, are so far inland that they are doubly landlocked, which means they are both landlocked and completely surrounded by other landlocked countries.
When a country is landlocked it can be difficult for them to trade, and they often have to rely on their neighbours. In Europe, the danube river lets many landlocked countries have some access to the black sea. As well, many canals exist which lets small ships travel deep inland, providing some of the benefits of having a coast.
Some countries may look landlocked, but when viewed closely you can see they have tiny coasts. You can watch this video I made which explores the weird borders in those situations:
https://youtu.be/elybAzSVSHc
In this, KhAnubis talks about the countries with no real coastline, also known as landlocked nations.
Note: I actually forgot to mention Malawi, so if there's anyone watching this from Malawi , I'm so sorry!

Sailors who join Bolivia's navy don't see much of the world. They've been land locked by the Andes mountains of South America for the past 125 years. That's when Bolivia went to war with neighbouring Chile and lost access to the Pacific Ocean. But as Lucia Newman reports, Bolivia's sailors could be seeing the sea again soon.

A "landlocked state" or "country" is a sovereign state entirely enclosed by land, or whose only coastlines lie on closed seas. There are currently 48 such countries, including four partially recognised states. Only two, Bolivia and Paraguay in South America, lie outside Afro-Eurasia .
As a rule, being landlocked creates political and economic handicaps that access to the high seas averts. As such, polities large and small across history have striven to gain access to open waters, even at great expense in wealth, bloodshed, and political capital.
Depending on degree of development, language barriers, and other considerations, being landlocked may or may not pose economic disadvantages. Some historically landlocked countries are quite affluent, such as Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein, which frequently employ neutrality to their political advantage. The majority, however, are classified as Landlocked Developing Countries . Nine of the twelve countries with the lowest Human Development Indices are landlocked.
Historically, being landlocked has been disadvantageous to a country's development. It cuts a nation off from such important sea resources as fishing, and impedes or prevents direct access to seaborne trade, a crucial component of economic and social advance. As such, coastal regions tended to be wealthier and more heavily populated than inland ones. Paul Collier in his book "The Bottom Billion" argues that being landlocked in a poor geographic neighborhood is one of four major development "traps" by which a country can be held back. In general, he found that when a neighboring country experiences better growth, it tends to spill over into favorable development for the country itself. For landlocked countries, the effect is particularly strong, as they are limited in their trading activity with the rest of the world. He states, "If you are coastal, you serve the world; if you are landlocked, you serve your neighbors." Others have argued that being landlocked may actually be a blessing as it creates a "natural tariff barrier" which protects the country from cheap imports. In some instances this has led to more robust local food systems.

Landlocked country
A landlocked state or country is a sovereign state entirely enclosed by land, or whose only coastlines lie on closed seas. There are currently 48 such countries, including four partially recognised states. Only two, Bolivia and Paraguay in South America, lie outside Afro-Eurasia (the Old World).
As a rule, being landlocked creates political and economic handicaps that access to the high seas avoids. For this reason, states large and small across history have striven to gain access to open waters, even at great expense in wealth, bloodshed, and political capital.
Depending on degree of development, language barriers, and other considerations, being landlocked may or may not pose economic disadvantages. Some historically landlocked countries are quite affluent, such as Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein, all of which frequently employ neutrality to their political advantage. The majority, however, are classified as Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs). Nine of the twelve countries with the lowest Human Development Indices (HDI) are landlocked.

As a rule, being landlocked creates political and economic handicaps that access to the high seas averts. As such, polities large and small across history have striven to gain access to open waters, even at great expense in wealth, bloodshed, and political capital.
Depending on degree of development, language barriers, and other considerations, being landlocked may or may not pose economic disadvantages.

Paul Collier in his book "The Bottom Billion" argues that being landlocked in a poor geographic neighborhood is one of four major development "traps" by which a country can be held back.
