• 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.

“Getting rid of Poland has been a favourite activity for many of its historical neighbors, so we'll jump on the bandwagon, too."

You forgot to remove the province of Flevoland from the Netherlands. It belonged to the water back then

1814: A lot of city states and a bunch of little small countries 1914: Big, huge countries composed of a lot of land/countries grouped together 2014: Back to a bunch of countries Meanwhile in France: "Wait, ya'll change?" Meanwhile in Poland: "Wait, ya'll don't get constantly pushed around?"

The 1914 map has got to be my favorite map of Europe ever. It is so simple, elegant, smooth... It was brilliant. And then the war came...

I love when he’s like “look at this a great power the size of France!” He says so nicely with his accent

If you would go just a couple of years back the Ottoman Empire would be even larger.

Nice one, but I would change Romania's colour, because in 1914 it is barely distinguishible from Russia.

Russia hungry! Russia eat! Nom nom nom!

Wow. Now that I think about it, my great grandmother (whose still alive) was born before Ireland became an independent country!

“Let’s get rid of Ukraine too” That aged amazingly
-
Due to democracy and the territorial satisfaction of most nations, I doubt borders will look very different 100 years from now. The biggest changes will probably occur in the Balkans and Ukraine.
