[@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.

History has a lot of these "the fuck is this map" moments - Medieval Europe was especially messy. Major weird ones : England used to own chunks of modern days Frances coast. Muscovy (Russia before it became Russia) was heckin' TINY for ages then kinda exploded in all directions in the space of a few decades until they became the monsters you see here. Spain was in cut in two, and the east side of it (known as Aragon) owned most of Southern Italy... sorta. And don't even get me started on the fucking holy Roman Empire. Oh and like 'Turkey' (the Ottoman Empire) was just massive for the longest time, as was the ex-Byzatium Empire, which was still around 600 years ago. Yeah - what was basically the Roman empire was still around 600 years ago, KINDA WIERD. Also, there was like dozens of entire country's most people have never heard of that existed. Honestly for anyone intrested in this kind of thing - watch a timelapse of Europe from 0AD to today and it's pretty mind-blowing, it's increadible how long it takes until anything is even remotely reccognisable.

Southtyrol back to austria!! I like italy but southtyrol is not italy

[@tylerbozinovski4624]

Kürbis G South tyrol to Austria, and then Austria to Germany.

[@anthonygilford3097]

Tyler Bozinovski Austria was never German

[@RealSlxzz]

@@anthonygilford3097 just like southtyrol isnt Italian or east Prussia isnt Polish.

[@cammarc]

While I agree, that's nothing compared to the amount of Italian land that Austria forced itself into until the mid 19th century.

3:51 Alsace was part of France for 266 years, since 1648. not recently.

[@AcademiaCervena]

"[In 1914] the provinces had been French until recently"

[@jacques8221]

German* not French. and it was not Alsace and Loraine, but Alsace and Moselle (which is a department of the Loraine region. Not all of it) but nvm this is a common mistake.

[@AcademiaCervena]

The historical territory in question is traditionally referred to as Alsace-Lorraine. And in 1914 it was German, but had been French until recently (about 40 years earlier).

[@jacques8221]

Academia Cervena. Hehehe perfect. I won't bitch anymore.

[@sciblastofficial9833]

Germany annexed Alsace-Lorraine in 1871 during German unfication

[@NewSuperWario2]

The video is almost perfect, except the saudi arabia part. Even if not all maps say so, that ‘no man’s land’ belonged to jabbal shammar, which was a tributary state of the ottomans, and in the south we had the emirate of nejd. So, technically, there were countries there

[@jeroenboth167]

Best map ever It has Such a beauty to it

[@37TuftedDuck]

Why do I feel like I remember the 1914 map more than the current map?
