I read the biography of Metternich. That makes this map very recognizable.
Ireland was never considered a part of the island of Great Britain.
I am pretty sure Sweden, Spain and Ottomans held enough power to be in the list.
Ireland was never a part of Great Britain. Just FYI.
No Ottomans ?
Spain?
Spain’s absence is staggering, based on the amount of gold they plundered from the americas, after killing and torturing millions of indigenous people.
what does the P stand for in P Russia ?
How was Prussia a great power exactly? Their population and economy aren’t comparable to the rest.
Really it was France, Britain and a rising Russia coming in hot. Austria was too unorganized and not interested in expansive growth because of its internal contradictions, and Prussia was too small and lacking depth.
TIL the country with borders that resemble the shape of a wish bone was considered a great power
This is highly offensive to me and I’d imagine the majority of people on the island of Ireland,
Lol. What’s the blank space in the SE of Europe? Uninhabited lands with the notation “Here There Be Monsters?” Or was that the Ottoman Empire, which was literally larger than all the other powers combined except Russia.
What a shitty ass map
This map seems to omit the Ottoman Empire
Austria and Prussia have created the worst historical border gore I’ve seen, they look like a disease spreading in central Europe.
However the German Empire and Austria-Hungary (1914 borders) on the other are some of the sexiest historical borders I’ve seen, the curves on those borders, hot damn!

Lol, but why is Crimea on the map in Russia?
Right before the fun started
