  1. Denmark seized a glorious victory against the germans and forced them to give back the lands they had previously taken, this emboldened the french and the poles to attack from both fronts and secure the border region, amidst all this chaos the germans hurriedly gave away belgian territory realizing that it wasn’t real.

  2. We should have given up a bit more in the east to be honest.

  3. I could be german earning salary in €, recycling plastic bottles for 0,15€ and eating third grade meat in kebab every day for the rest of my life but Germany gave up eastern territories so instead i have just kebab.

  4. Für Kaiser, Gott und Vaterland.The old majesty of the German Empire must be restored

  5. You ever get drunk and do something stupid only to realise later?

    yeah

  6. Don’t forget Sudety. It all went wrong when Hans left.

  7. Ah, so that’s how Belgium got their mythical Deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft.

  8. Should’ve lost even more. Poor Sorbs deserve their independent country as well.

    Turks and Arabs in Berlin too.

  9. Probably. On the other hand, what’s the use in having parts of France and Western Russia?

  10. And everything except poznan and parts of upper Silesia was taken completely against the will of the people.

  11. I’ve always thought that Germany looks a bit liker the late Liz – and you’ve given her lipstick!

  12. Because the french forced them.

    German wound here

  13. The question on top may sound like a joke, but in all seriousness the answer is a plain and simple YES

  14. Fun fact: you can roughly trace the German Empire’s borders by looking at a province map of Europe. Not every border is the same and some have been adjusted, but East Prussia is pretty much still there in Poland’s subdivisions.

    You can also see interwar Polish borders in this same way, same goes for Greater Romania, and the Kingdom of Hungary.

  15. yes we are. one simply cannot start a war or at least contribute heavily to its outbreak and then loose. its giviiiiing the ick. like starting a fight and loose it every time lol.

    so yeah, our ugly cities centers, not so cool looking military uniforms and loosing a third of our land is literally a result of our collective stupidity; or let us say, our belief in supremacy made us look down on others, believing we can take the world on our own…I mean imagine being the Kaiser and calling Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottomans your allies. Like wtf lol get rekt lmao

  16. Imagine the money Hans saves that way.
    Oh, wait.

  17. They aren’t given up, they’re temporarily leased out so they can later be reclaimed with interest,

  18. If you don’t want to have alsace-lorraine, we will always take it back 🙂

  19. They gave up half of their territories to stay together…

  20. Sadly we where stupid
    But if we did, we wouldn’t have such nice neighbors

  21. You dont need that much land to be a power house, having people closer can often improve economy, culture i think is most important, like creative people ect ect
