Fun fact: did you know passports were not required for travel before WW1?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passport#History

During WW1, governments made them mandatory to monitor their borders more closely. After WW1, there was even talk of abolishing them!

But WW2 came and afterward, they became entrenched.

So next time you hear about government doing deals with each other for immigration/trade, note that they are merely giving you back a subset of freedoms that they already took away themselves.
