Changing the Map of Europe Back to 1914

What did Europe look like on the verge of World War I? This video redraws the map of Europe from 2014 to 1914 while explaining the differences.
ERRATA
• Vatican City was established in 1929 and should not appear on the final 1914 map.
• The central parts of the 1914 German border with Russia are slightly too advanced.
• Germany in 1914 should also include a very small part of present-day eastern Czechia (the so-called 'Hultschiner Ländchen').
• Spanish Morocco is shown as slighly too large.
• The Dutch province of Flevoland didn't yet exist in 1914, as it was still under water.
• The Franco-Italian border is very slightly off, as Italy in 1914 should include some minor areas of France.

[@Agron_ATA]

Well, Yeah but to Poland, those were simply rebels trying to deflect from the Commonwealth, even further from the direct part of the Polish Crown. It is right that Commonwealth didn't really look at the Ukrainians as a nation, but I wouldn't call protecting Your (because at the time those were Polish) borders a partition. This is one of the biggest problems in Polish-Ukrainian relations alongside with the characters of Ukrainian heroes such as Khmelnitsky, Bandera, that for polish are traitors and murderers and polish heroes like Yarema Vyshnevetsky who is a traitor and genocide-maker for Ukraine. Only at the very end of Polish and Lithuanian independence, there were ideas of creating the Commonwealth of three nations that would include Ukraine as a separate state on the same rights as Poland and Lithuania. An idea that came to minds of our dumb, rotten nobility and administrators far too late.

[@Agron_ATA]

Nontheless You cannot really say that Polish took part in getting rid of the country that was literally a rebel state deflected from Poland.

[@Agron_ATA]

Another ironic thing is the fact that Khmelnitsky was a Catholic Pole that became a traitor seeking revenge on Polish government and Ukrainian hero, while his main enemy, Vyshnevetsky was an Orthodox Ruthenian, who changed religion and begun slaughtering his own kin, which during the rebellion was thought to be great and became a Polish hero (His son was even a king!). I understand Your point though and feel terrible for the fact that my countrymen still tend to say that Ukraine is only "fake country" with no history, while this was one of the reasons why the Commonwealth - which same people say was so great and all-powerful - has fallen.

[@sanderskovly7641]

The Netherlands had a border change, after ww2 they got a hill, Wylerberg, about 1 square kilometer. It was mostly strategic, because if "the Nethelands" controlled that, they could scout abnormous distanses. The Netherlands also temporarily, such did Belgium, many german bordertowns, but they were later given back (except Wylerberg).

[@sanderskovly7641]

Iran also had some redrawings of borders, with Russia and UK. But I don't know if some of these happened after 1914. But Iran did change it's borders in the Iraqi-Iranian war (first gulf war), but only temporalily. The border was set back after a shorter time. Iran also holds some islands in the persian Gulf, which a couple of minor states in UAE say belongs to them. Also, Bahrain was, sorta, part of Iran, but I can't remember if the british freed them from Iran or Qatar from UK in 1916. But they gt freed around the same time.
