[@jimosea6133]

Medieval Mongolia and China were actually very close. Genghis Khan accepted many benefits from China. China provided Mongolia with many engineers, technology and funds to fight against the Jin Dynasty. In the later period of the Western Expedition, Due to the gradual decay of Mongolian soldiers, Mongolia had to recruit Han people, and the number of Han people in the army once exceeded that of The Mongols. But the Latter part of the Mongol Empire, though very strong, did not attack China in friendship. But China took the initiative and waged a 50-year war against Mongolia, dragging it into the quagmires, killing Mungo khan (the grandson of Genghis Khan), forcing the Mongols to stop their westward march, and indirectly splitting the Mongol Empire. China was a very underrated country at that time. After the Yuan conquered the Song dynasty, in fact, China was also in a state of long separation from han. The Yuan dynasty could hardly control China. After the Restoration of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern expeditions were carried out to Mongolia for more than ten times, which divided Mongolia and even killed people in some parts of Mongolia into no man's land. By some estimates, tens of millions of Mongolians may have died in the war The Qing emperors also carried out malicious family planning against the Mongols, reducing the population of Mongolia by tens of millions to less than half a million. And the Republic of China, and today the People's Republic of China, has been enforcing sanctions against Mongolia. China has been crushing Mongolia for 600 years. But the Mongolians in Inner Mongolia seem to be loved by all the ethnic groups in China

The kalmar union? or do u mean peak sweden, peak norway, and peak denmark

[@johanfagerstromjarlenfors]

I don’t know about denmark and norway beeing significant larger than today but sweden i know during he 1600s concured a lot. All of finland and balticum was swedish, parts of russia, parts of northern germany and preussia too i think. Also parts of denmark (what still is swedish: blekinge halland and skåne) was concured and parts of norway (half of it is still swedish and half is norway again). What would have been larger for denmark would have been since they ”owned” norway and iceland, greenland and faroe islands... and the they lost norway and iceland and still ”owns” the other two... but other than that i can’t think of much more that denmark would have been larger... exept that those regions that became swedish were danish and also the region of gotland once was danish for a while and a little part of estonia for some time.

[@johanfagerstromjarlenfors]

Bartolo Vids Both would be good to talk about but... kalmar union was a union made up of kingdoms rather than its own country... but at least sweden have had a peak with beeing significant larger than today with our own ”mare nostrum” in the baltic sea like the romans with the mediteranian sea..

Why would he add the "Ancient Greek Colonies" when an entity like "Greece" never existed until 1821. Now if you say "Hellenic City States" yes that is correct. And why would he add the Macedonian Empire where it literally says Macedonian and not Greek Empire?

[@heathdionne7717]

I don't think Greece really qualifies. Prior to the Macedonians, "Greece" wasn't unified by any stretch of the imagination, and arguing that the Macedonian Empire should count as Greece is definitely controversial. The Byzantine Empire was just the Eastern Roman Empire, but I could see an argument of it being considered "Greece" since Hellenic culture was the most prominent in the east, but it'd cause quite the stir in the comments

[@bobbyolsson7956]

To say that the Macedonian Empire could count as modern Greece, is a highly ridiculous and outrageous statement. Respectable world historians will laugh in their face for wanting to absorb anything that is in (as of about 100 years ago) or near the modern Greek territory, as part of the modern Greek history. 2 millennia ago, Macedonia was a monarchy, while the separate Hellene city states were a democracy. Hellenes considered Macedonians as barbarians, different from them, not even worth for slaves, and both people despised each other. In the battle of Chaeronea in 338BC Phillip II and Alexander the Great crushed the united Hellene forces, and put all the Hellene city-states under the Macedonian dominion. 2300 years have passed. And in the meantime the region was under the Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire. Tons of tribes have invaded the region, and have completely changed the genes of the people living on the Balkan peninsula. And today modern Greeks claim they are pure blooded people descending directly from some ancient people? How bonkers do you have to be to believe in that!?

Today's smallest country is Vatican City, the Papal state within Rome's boundaries, with a total area of 0.4 squared km and a few hundred inhabitants. In mid 19 century the Papal State was much larger, comprising the whole (or almost the whole) of today Lazio, Umbria, Romagna, Marche for over 40.000 squared km and more than 3 million inhabitants. I think both in total area and population is the most reduced state in history! In 20 century I think that among the most reduced states still existing today there is Austria after WWI.

As a Swede, the first Empire I come to think of when it comes to lost territory is... well, the Swedish Empire. So if you do a part 2 you definitely need to include that one! Other ideas would be: Tunis, Mali (although modern Mali is not the same as the old kingdom of Mali, I still think it kinda counts), Venice (not an independent country but their territory was impressive and their downfall kind of tragic), Czech (kingdom of Bohemia and/or Czechoslovakia?), Bulgaria, Ethiopia..! Maybe Norway (while they were in a union with Denmark, they lost the faroese islands, Iceland and Greenland when they fell under union with Sweden).

The greatest extent of Hungary without considering mere personal unions was probably during the 12-15th centuries, when numerous "banates" were established on the Southern frontiers of the kingdom. Not counting the banates though, the size of Hungary was pretty much consistent for most of its history(until the end of ww1), with the notable exception of the 200 years of partial Ottoman occupation.
