All Territories Ever Occupied by Each European Country

This video shows any territory that the countries of Europe have occupied in their history. This includes areas under direct control or a country proper, vassal states or puppet states, military occupations, and personal unions with other nations. The predecessors of a country is open to interpretation and is often arbitrary, so this video should be taken with a grain of salt. This video also merely focuses on Europe, and doesn't show any land overseas that wouldn't be visible on the map. Any country who had occupied territories that are not on the map such as a colony are stated as such.

Interesting video, no doubt! From a historians perspective - as already mentioned in the comment section - it’s difficult to compare these current nation: (1) there’s a difference between modern Italy and the Roman Empire in terms of culture, language, religion. I would have shown only the territories, modern Italy has ever occupied; (2) where to draw the line between real incorporated territories and for example personal unions: medieval understanding of a “state” (by a monarch’s realm) is very different from the modern definition of a national territorial state (beginning in the 16th century); (3) duration of the occupation: there’s a difference between territories only occupied for months or even days (as the German holdings in Russia during WWII) and territories that where heavily influenced by the occupant (e.g. Spain holding the throne of Naples). But again: just some thoughts of me, still great to see people’s interest in history!

Syria was most likely during the crusades (France has a similar extension in syria) And claiming that the Holy Roman Empire isn't German would be like claiming the Ottoman Empire isn't turk. Just stupid. The Byzantine empire is trickier, could be Roman or Greek. Or both. Also I'd put Alexander as Macedonian, not greek. The video added him to the Greeks. Another tricky thing is Poland-Lithuania or Auatria-Hungary or the Frankish empire, which was both German and french.

[@GreatPolishWingedHussars]

You are wrong, because as you can see in the video it is possible to show the countries with all the areas they once occupied. But there were also mistakes made in the video, as you also noticed with Liechtenstein, and mistakes were also pointed out in other comments. By the way, mistakes were also made regarding my country Poland. There are mistakes regarding Poland, because Sweden, Finland and Russia should have been shown in Polish colors as Polish domains. Because Sweden was a domain of the Polish King during the time of the personal union with Poland in 1592 to 1599 by which Finland was also a domain of the Polish king because the Polish king was not only the king of Sweden, but also the Grand Duke of Finland. Russia, on the other hand, was during the time of the personal union with Poland in 1610-12 a domain of Poland. By the way, the Polish King Casimir IV Jagiellon was also the grand duke of Luxembourg in the 15th century, which made Luxembourg a Polish domain. So Sweden, Finland, Russia and Luxembourg should also have been shown in Polish colors in the video. During the time of the Polish King Casimir IV, Crimea was a Polish protectorate from 1462 to 1475. Unfortunately, the Polish army was strongly committed in the fight against the Teutonic Order and therefore Crimea could not be defended against the Ottomans and was lost for Poland. But since Crimea was a Polish domain for a while, Crimea should also appear in Polish colors in the video. In case anyone is wondering why a piece of Italy was Polish. This are the territoris of ​​Bari and Rossano which came to Poland through the marriage of the Polish king Sigismund I with the Italian Duchess of Bari and Rossano Bona Sforza who thereby became Queen of Poland. Although there are other errors! The dominion of the Soviet Union was shown and not the dominion of Russian Empire. Serbia mistakenly was confused with Yugoslavia. The Germans have never mastered Syria as is claimed in the video. Germans were involved in the Crusades. But there was no German crusader state. About half of Syria was then the principality of Antioch. But this principality was certainly not mastered by Germans.

[@gamingweasel4633]

Very interesting, thanks for this!

[@Maximmuss_]

If we're counting Personal Unions, Poland should also have the former Kingdom of Sweden, since it already has Hungary, Saxony and Bari. Sweden was a junior partner in a Polish-Lithuanian-Swedish Union with the king - Sigismund Vasa being the King of Poland first, and King of Sweden second. Poland also had a lot more lands occupied in Russia, most notably the city of Pskov, with polish raiding parties going as far as the river Ob deep within Siberia, where we have accounts of polish soldiers encountering "strange golden statues of chubby women" (most likely buddah statues). Also a small nitpick - at one point the crimean city of Kaffa pledged loyalty to the Kingdom of Poland, It's not shown on the map, however it is more of a nuisance anyway.

Rather small countries today, but massive territory in the past, for example Bohemia=Czechia stretched from Baltic sea to a few kilometres to Jadran sea, almost having access to both northern and mediterrenean sea.

BUT...the Czech's great expansion was not with Bohemia but with Great Moravia in the early Middle Ages.

[@Aggoenix]

Yes, but in those times borders were more fluid. Those were times when maps and cartography were quite rare and not precise. Borders were usually thought as rivers, hills, specific landmarks. It was also age of quite low population in Europe. Big kingdoms had we can just guess only dozens of thousand of people so it was incredibly sparse, most of kingdoms were endless forests with ocassional small keep. I would say that Bohemia was far more structured and borders were more precise and protected. For example whole Silesia was part of Bohemia from 12th to almost 18th century. Unfortunately Maria Theresa managed to loose it to Prussia in 1742, as well Lusitania which today is parted between eastern Germany and Western Poland.@@GreatPolishWingedHussars

To be fair henry III did left everyone in poland when hé was about to be crowned king of France, leaving the polish throne vacant, so by the Time he got to France, the poles were without a king for months and started electing another, which means he was never de facto both king or France and poland. It would have been cool tho

[@ulter_]

@@clementlefevre5384 You are right Henry left Polish throne, while leaving a big shit. This "strange" union was only formally. Really she wasnt there. The period of Henrys reign in Poland falls from 11 May 1573 to 18 June 1574 (until his escape). There is now a catch. Henry doesnt renounced his rights to the Polish crown. Formally, his reign ended in May 1575. So at the end of August 1574 the sejm was convened, where some senators were against the introduction of interregnum. However, the second part was in favor of introducing interregnum. However, they came to an agreement by sending a letter to Henry, setting him as a deadline for returning to the country for May 12, 1575. At the same time, it was announced that if this deadline wasnt met, Henry would lose the throne. So what was the reaction Henry to this letter? He promised mps that he would return quickly, and yet he didnt return. Interestingly, after his dethronement, he considered himself the rightful monarch Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In addition, I would like to add that for Polish history he was a tragic ruler. Which "fired" the clock for the fall of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Eh... how convoluted it all has to be...

My country Norway was initially set to inherit the Kalmar union, (very) unfortunate events made it so it ended up with his Danish wife instead when he died. Imagine what would had happened with a stable three-party union of Scandinavia existing on predefined terms that all parts had agreed to, instead of literally hundreds of years of conflicts between Sweden and Denmark on opposing sides in massive European conflicts... BUT! This never happened!

[@GreatPolishWingedHussars]

Norse-Norman what kind of country is that supposed to be? However There are mistakes regarding Poland, because Sweden, Finland and Russia should have been shown in Polish colors as Polish domains. Because Sweden was a domain of the Polish King during the time of the personal union with Poland in 1592 to 1599 by which Finland was also a domain of the Polish king because the Polish king was not only the king of Sweden, but also the Grand Duke of Finland. Russia, on the other hand, was during the time of the personal union with Poland in 1610-12 a domain of Poland. By the way, the Polish King Casimir IV Jagiellon was also the grand duke of Luxembourg in the 15th century, which made Luxembourg a Polish domain. So Sweden, Finland, Russia and Luxembourg should also have been shown in Polish colors in the video. During the time of the Polish King Casimir IV, Crimea was a Polish protectorate from 1462 to 1475. Unfortunately, the Polish army was strongly committed in the fight against the Teutonic Order and therefore Crimea could not be defended against the Ottomans and was lost for Poland. But since Crimea was a Polish domain for a while, Crimea should also appear in Polish colors in the video. In case anyone is wondering why a piece of Italy was Polish. This are the territoris of ​​Bari and Rossano which came to Poland through the marriage of the Polish king Sigismund I with the Italian Duchess of Bari and Rossano Bona Sforza who thereby became Queen of Poland. Although there are other errors! The dominion of the Soviet Union was shown and not the dominion of Russian Empire. Serbia mistakenly was confused with Yugoslavia. The Germans have never mastered Syria as is claimed in the video. Germans were involved in the Crusades. But there was no German crusader state. About half of Syria was then the principality of Antioch. But this principality was certainly not mastered by Germans.

Portugal, in the past, had a region called "Olivença" which is now part of Spain.

[@cantrusthestory]

It wasn't a region, it was and still is a city. Also Spain gave them Olivença, which became part of Portugal again, but in 1801, during the "War of the Oranges", Spain demanded the city of Olivença to Portugal and they accepted it. After that, Spain never gave back Olivença to Portugal and banned their language and culture until the Franco's dictatorship ended in 1975. And actually in this video it is visible that Portugal holded Olivença, if you compare to the actual eastern portuguese borders and the borders that Portugal occupied back then.

For example, Kuban has never been part of Ukraine, even though Ukrainians lived there. Kuban created its own Kuban People's Republic, where the official languages were Russian and Ukrainian. But this republic did not last long, on June 23, 1918, there was a vote on which country to join (Ukraine or Russia). According to the results of the vote, it became part of the Russian Republic (the white movement). Then there were conflicts between the leadership because some insisted on autonomy, and others on a full-fledged subject of the country. As a result, the Communists took advantage of this internal conflict and seized these lands during the civil war.
