  1. I wonder why Germany is called like that. First time I hear an other word other than Germany, Deutschland and allemania

  2. Hungary’s fallen so low from the highest of the Astro-Hungarian Empire. What is left after is just the shade of what once was? The partitions didn’t even give the lands with Hungarian people to the Hungarian state. Russian empire also got partitioned into oblivion. Nobody cares about Russians though.

  3. From a geography perspective, Hungary should look like it does in this picture

    The plain which occupies Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, etc. today is historically called the Great Hungarian Plain and it is a distinct geographic region of no natural borders. Not to mention Hungary ruled this area for 1000 years. I totally understand their perspective.

  4. Very interesting map.A half of Poland under Germany and half under Russia.No wonder why Poles are so scared!
    Czechs under Austria and Slovaks under Hungary!

  5. You simplifed the spelling of Switzerland a lot, that’s a good innovation!

    It makes me think of the Norwegian spelling of the same country: **sveits**, also highly efficient.

  6. Interesting how Bosnia is included as separate from Hungary but colored the same. I think it was technically under joint control of Hungary and Austria after it was annexed in 1908, although it was given its own constitution in 1910.

  7. Interesting how most Western parts of Ukraine (Bukovina, Galichina & Zakarpat’a) were split between Austria and Hungary at that time, like one mountain village could be under Austria, neighbour – under Hungary.

  8. Didn’t Bulgaria lose most of that southern territory after the Second Balkan War? It’s weird because at the same time that they have that territory they don’t have the territory that Romania took in the northeast.
