Germany: you know they use to cut me into pieces!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lithuania based.
My favorite country in Northern Europe
🇱🇹🤝🇦🇲
Ottomans yet to conquer Constantinople
Yet another EU4 enjoyer
“Finland” was just a small area around Turku/Åbo?
Ah the Great Horde and the definitely NOGAY Horde
If only a certain retard didn’t decide to fucking die at Varna
‘Wild fields’
Germany wasn’t really a thing as we know it today until the early 1870s. Before that, there was the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (the “First Reich”), which was founded in 962, but you can’t see that on maps like these, because that wasn’t really one united country, more of an empire of hundreds of relatively tine states.
Anyone know why those two eastern nations were called ‘hordes?’
Thanks
When is England getting land back from France. Time to start a chant and run around London!
Thicc
Sad
It’s still missing the Reichsgrafschaft Hohenwaldeck in the South of Bavaria, it should be a bit East of the territory of Freising [FS; the Grafschaft Werdenfels] on the Tyrolian border – it was around Schliersee and Miesbach.
eu4 players be like
Most based germany ever
Where is this so called “Kurdistan”. And people who say Turks are originally Greek and Armenian. Anotolia is almost full of Turks as you can see, Ottomans, Karaman, Candar, Dulkadir, Ağ Qoyunlu, Qara Qoyunlu, Memluks, Timurids. Teenager Europeans on Reddit must be shocked.
One thing I like about this map is that it shows something that’s been lost in the memery around HRE and Voltaire, which is that it wasn’t just HRE that was a balkanized mess it was the entirety of the old Frankish empire as it was a legacy of Frankish custom of dividing the fief evenly between the heirs. France, which is often anachronistically shown as fully centralized which is something that only really started happening after 1500 and then especially under Louis XIV, is shown properly balkanized here. It’s basically the old Frankish empire, modern day France+Benelux+Germany with the Ostsiedlung territories in the east+Austria+Italy that are a mess, countries around the old empire – England, Castile, Aragon, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Naples – are fine.
Ireland seems odd. It was under control of the English by then
It’s always very interesting to notice and quite hard to understand by now that back in those ages, Slovaks were just part of the Hungarian Kingdom, like brothers and sisters to Hungarians, writing their history together. Meanwhile, ancient Romanians were just doing their stuff in the mountains, without recognizing themselves.
Favorite map of all times
Ok, i’ll play EU4 again.. thanks for this!
LOL Ireland… TIL the Holy Roman Empire wasn’t the only thing fragmented as hell in the Middle Ages.
I bet Lithuania is gonna win the game!
Why is it that every time I see a medieval Europe it’s always right after the fall of Bulgaria ;( Rip for 500 years
