That’s not really true. No German influenced the proud Nation of the Macedon 🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰
Never invaded by germany and never invaded by England, thats a feat.
All of central Europe and most of it beyond is occupied. Only one small country of indomitable Helvetii still holds out against the invaders…
Why is like 1/4 of Bulgaria white? Were Germans like “Nein man, fuck Dobruja”.
teenies bullshit
Not occupied, but strongly influenced, I’d say.
1st step is to decide if you want to make a map about military occupation or “influence” (whatever you mean under that). In the latter case what are those white patches in Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Italy? They were fully under German influence at least some time during world war 2.
The Swedish island of Gotland was occupied by Russia in 1808, as 1800 russians landed on the east coast April 22. No Swedish troups were on the island at the time, so resistance was considered meaningless. Swedish warships blocked the east coast to prevent russian inforcements, and when Swedish troups reached Gotland on May 14, the russians laid down their arms and went home.
The only casualty during these events was a boatsman who fell from the mast of swedish flag ship Konung Gustav IV Adolph
England is influenced by Germany though? Royal family ancestry, English language, etc.
the darker colour is to consider 100% germany at a certain point.
I can confirm the italian side it’s correct
Even Germany didn’t want to occupy Moldova lol.
There was actually a weird thing that happened during the HRE where the earl of York was the holy Roman emperor (he collected taxes but not much else)
lol, as if Spain was not “influenced” by Germany. They literally changed their time to align with hitler. That is influence no?
This thread ought to be fun.
I like how switzerland is literally always neutral in maps like this. Everyone seems to respect their neutrality, not even Hitler dared to invade them
It looks like European Union
To those who are curious about only some parts of Finland being on blue: in 1918 Germany intervened in the finnish civil war to support the whites against the reds and invaded [Helsinki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Helsinki) .
A part of lapland is blue due to the german military presence there during the lapland war fought between Finland and Germany in 1944-45 after our government made peace with the soviets with one of the conditions being to [drive all german forces out of the country](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapland_War) .
Germany should be bombed every 50 years. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know why. They do
That’s a pretty shitty map. I’ts more or less the Axis’ greatest extend. However, Germany influenced way more than this, like SWITZERLAND or the UK and pretty much every nation in/around Europe (like many other nations did too)
How can anyone write „occupied“ and „influenced“ just separated with a slash?
And ?
Im german. Thank god these times are over. Germans hate war, Bundeswehr is totally broken and especially anyone under 50 fell in love with european neighbors and would never attack them.
What’s up with southern Italy?
The issue I have here
Where is the cut off point of Germany as a united unit and Germans as people. Because if there is no clear cut off point you might as well add all Austrian possessions as occupied.
Since even as a people group they were referred to as Germans until last century.
Wrong info for Finland. In 1918 German troops were invited to Southern Finland by the legal government of Finland to fight Finnish Communists. The government of Finland led these things politically. In 1944 Finland made a peace treaty with the Soviet Union and relationship with Germany ceased. Finns and Germans started to fight in Lapland. But was it an occupation? Finnish troops chased Germans away. But before that they were there legally. And the government of Finland was in charge.
Wdym, Switzerland not influenced by Germany? Or do you mean the German netion that was formed in 1871 specifically?
Cringe.
Anglo Saxons: Am I a joke to you?
If you count the holy Roman empire, the rest of Italy and the. Small helvetii enclave would be blue as well
If i was to get one euro for every pixel in this picture i would get at least one. Which isn’t much tbh.
I’m no history buff but I feel like “ever” here refers to the early 20th century. Though, on the other hand Germany did “only” unite at the tail end of the 19th century so I guess it’s right?
Yes, this ist true. Der Switzerland was nicht influenzed by ze Germans. Deutsch ist *not* an offiziel language there, for exempel.
Fuck whoever made this map. Abkhazia and Samachablo are Georgia! 😡
Well, the english queen is actually of German heritage….
