Changing the Map of Europe Back to 1933

- What did Europe look like before the Second World War? This video redraws the map of Europe from 2016 to 1933 while explaining what’s happened.
1933 is only 83 years back in time, but still an entire world away. This is the year of the interwar period when the Nazis took power in Germany, leading to enormous consequences for Europe, that forever altered the political, cultural and geographical landscape of the continent.
ERRATA
• The small island of Lagosta, off the Adriatic coast, is marked as part of 1933 Yugoslavia. It was in fact part of Italy.
• The eastern part of present-day Moldova (the Transnistria region) is merged into 1933 Romania. It should instead be separated and merged with the Soviet Union.
• In northern present-day Morocco, the Tangier International Zone is missing from the 1933 map.
• Spanish Morocco is shown as slighly too large.
• The Dutch province of Flevoland didn't yet exist in 1933, 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.

Does anyone think Poland has the most insane border change in history? Stalin literally decided to "move" the entire country a few hundred miles west, not sure if anything else like that ever happened.
Michael Henman There is a logical reason for it. The eastern part of Poland was inhabited by Belarusans and Ukrainians so after the war Stalin gave these regions to the Belarusan and Ukrainian SSR. In exchange he gave Poland Pomerania, Silesia and parts of Eastern Prussia.
Michael Henman Eastern Poland was the "poor" ans underdeveloped part of Poland in which Belarussians and Ukranians where the majority of the Population (except for in Vilnius which had 98% Polish population and Lviv which had around 60% Polish population) and the new Polish lands being Masuria, Pomeria and Silesia where part of the Duchy of Poland in the 10th-11th century. There still are areas where Poles make up up to 80% of the population, mainly in Belarus and Lithuania around their borders, and also there are 900,000 Poles or people of Polish descent in Belarus.
Poles ruined Prussia, Stalin's biggest crime. If only East Germany had the whole territory of the former pre-Unification monarchy Communism would've probably won the Cold War.
"Poles ruined Prussia", what do you mean?
The Grand Chiefdom you should remember that the first Stalin’s crime was cleansing of Germans inhabiting Prussia, but there was second-Poles living in eastern parts of Poland didn’t want to lose their homes. They were forced like Germans, so not only Germans were victims

I think Lithuania was a lesser partner in the union because Poland was a kingdom and Lithuania was a grand duchy, The Kingdom of Poland + Grand Duchy of Lithuania = Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth. But I may be wrong, as Jagiellon was king of Lithuania before Poland
You should play Europa universalis 4, great game. Goes from 1444 to 1821
The thing is, he was a grand duke. A duke has less power and Authority than a King, so he had to become a king. Poland was a KIngdom, so he claimed the title of the king of Poland. He was the King of Poland and Ruled Poland, he had his claim on the Lithuanian throne, but he put his brother there to govern Lithuania.
By becoming the King of Poland, he had more authority as he was a king. Because the Only Kingdom in the Personal Union was Poland, Poland was ruling making any other duchy in this sort of united nation. Back then they had a hierarchy, and a King is higher than a duke or a grand duke. If Lithuania was a 'Petty Kingdom' Then Lithuania would be almost at the same level as a normal KIngdom when it comes to the hierarchy in the medieval times.
Besides that, if Poland was an Empire and had an emperor, then the title of the Emperor allows to give the titles of KIngs, simply put:
Titles did the work, becouse it was a Polish title, Poland had more to say.
Next up we’re gonna give Russia a more fitting color.... Turns it Red Lol

2:13 - Slight mistake. Moldova today includes a little sliver of land sandwiched between the River Dniester and its eastern border - Transnistria, which is actually an unrecognized breakaway state, but anyway. Back in 1933, Moldova's (Romania's) border was set at the River Dniester, with Transnistria being part of the Soviet Union. Seeing how narrow the country is, it probably wouldn't even show up on this map, but I just thought I'd point it out.
You are right-I can't believe I forgot about it! How embarrassing :|
Damn you beat me to it
I am impressed that you noticed! Good for you :)
Yes. Another little thing I noticed is that Hungary was marked "unchanged", when in fact, Hungary owned a little territory just south of Bratislava, that was given to Czechoslovakia in 1947. It's not a huge deal, but it was still definitely a thing.
It isn’t recognised by anyone in the UN however
I bet in 100 years time you and I will be on some future version of youtube watching some guy talk about 2016 borders compared to 2116 borders and how different they look.

Atleast the balkan looks better
How exactly? The Balkans are split with the treaty of Berlin still in effect. Ripe and ready for plunder just as the west wanted them. Bulgaria once the strongest of all is still striped from territories that would have more than doubled it's size today. The Romans are long gone but Bulgaria and Serbia still existed. In Bulgaria's case the goal was to repurpose the assets of a fallen empire create states some with historical identity based on pure fiction then milk them off one by one with the original state they belonged to lacking the strength to intervene. Like a parent who's hands are tied while some adult beats their child in front of their very own eyes. No i don't think they look better.
Agreed. One Yugoslavia! Would make a great combined soccer-team! 🙂

Hungary DID change in 1947. It became even smaller than in 1920 because three villages around Bratislava were ceded to Czechoslovakia and they are now part of Bratislava. The area was called the "Bridgehead of Bratislava".

Nice video this is very much improved from the WW1 video and I very much look forward to more history videos from you and yeah I know you made a history of Sweden video,but it would be much appreciated if the video had English subtitles or was remade in English.
Thank you! I also think it turned out better than the 1914 one. As for the video about Sweden's history, I'm definitely considering making a version for English speakers, but I can't say when it would be released.
You forgot the italian colonies in dalmatia
I seem to have missed the island of Lagosta, but besides that Italy's Dalmatian territories are all marked.
SoulsHunter did you just say colonies wtf
SoulsHunter that was in ww2 not before.
F1RacingFans Iraq got independence in 1932
SoulsHunter pretty sure dalmatia was one of the reasons Mussolini was so angry
An extremely interesting and well-done video.
Pls add more vids like this! They are great!
Awesome video !
How about version of 31 August 1939 ? Still many borders it is different then 1933
Not a bad idea at all!
Alright, let’s give Germany the entirety of Austria.
Also some of the Czech republic.
And we’re done!
and half of poland
and half france and netherlands and belgium and luxemburg and half of soviet union
lets give soviet union the baltics and half of romania.
The comment says August 1939 pal. The war hadn't started yet.

Hey, what's that radio broadcast
There are also little differences at the border between Italy and France; in 1947 Italy has given some little territories (Briga, Tenda, Valle Stretta etc) to France
This really helped with the WW2 video I did. Thanks!
Please do more continents. Great video.
I think it is hard for someone born in this age and in a country whose borders have not changed significantly by conflict and war to imagine this. People tend to live in the moment and take things for granted and rather static. This kind of change happened a long time ago from out retrospective, they think. But in fact, the world is still changing, and thanks to the Internet in ways that transcend both geographical and political lines. Although, the changes are subtle.
Bra video, great video. I would recommend it to others.
Bra is a part of a woman's clothing
@@lin7823 In Swedish, it just means "good".

Thank you!
Disputed territories like Crimea and Kosovo should be marked with stripes, but other than that great video.
Kosta M.
Nope, Kosovo is independent 🙂
user new I want it to be but if it becomes FULLY independent then half of my entire country goes into serbia
domestic pigeon actually if there are serbs let them have it. If in northern kosovo there are serbs i dont care if serbia takes it. Im albanian. If there are bosnians in montenegro bosnia should have it. Its not about occupying
Include Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Northern Cyprus in that case.
Denis Saliaj Also there are Albanians in South Serbia.
You should do 1942 before Operation Torch. It's even more different from today than 1933, and was when Nazi Germany was at its height.
Good video
nearly perfect borders, world war 2 ruined them
+JC7595 Nah, Austria should still be in the German nation.
Person Human Austria wasn't annexed until 1938 tho
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth he's saying Austria should be part of Germany today
No there were many mistakes, Russia controlled too many people groups. Hungary is too small, Bulgaria too, Yugoslavia is better split up, part of Germany and France should be with the Benelux, no united Ireland, Danzig as a free city, Polish under German control, the middle east and Magreb are fucked up. I am not saying that todays borders are better but the old borders were terrible too. Nationalism ruined Europe's chance to fix them peacefully
Nationalism isn't nazism. Natio-Socialism is nazism. But nationalism is the worse part about nazism in my opinion
Hey, could you do this again but with 1914 or 1910? Thanks my dude and awesome video

Very good video but I think that you forgot the Tangier International Zone in Northern Africa.
You are right! How embarrassing :(
Iceland became independent in 1918, it still shared a monarch with Denmark since the two were in personal union (like England and Scotland from 1603 to 1707), but was an independent country.
Also, in Morocco, the Tangier International Zone is missing.

Yes.

Sadly fascists ruined it. If Romania was a part of allies they would maybe even have a bit larger territory than 1933 one.
Bulgarians on the south, rusyns russians ukranians on the north,and hungarians on the west. Nope it was not perfect,it was only made because the allies wanted to,not because it was fair considering the minorities. It was like Yugoslavia but in a smaller scale.Moldova was deserved doe.
@@feha6580 Hungarians were and still are a minority,then Bessarabia is also kinda unnecessary,but there are still Romanians living there and not the complete south was filled with Bulgarians the majority were the Romanians and it wasn't the Allies who wanted it like this because there were no Allies until in the begging of WWII I think you meant the Entente,if you think that a minority should rule over a country where the majority should live under the minorities rule then I can't help you.

@@sciblastofficial9833 not in 1914, or in 1913, austria annexed it in 1908
All the people saying "this part should go to this country" is just stupid. First of all you can infinitely use this argument until Europe has the same borders it did 1000 years ago, plus imagine the political mess and the violence that would result if something like that were to happen. Look what happened during the Yugoslav wars, that would happen again and no one wants that.
brazil should have urgay
Kosovo is
Yugoslavia
I am serbian and yes i would prefer for the argument of kosovo to go on our side but the best proposal jus stop it and let the people in there live how they want it was a part of aerbia and is just stupid for a eqr to happen just live peacefully there and idk be peaceful?

That's true. For the sake of simplicity I've ignored territorial changes that are so small that they wouldn't be visible on the map to begin with.

They gave it back
they returned it in 1963
Hungary lost 3 villages near Bratislava to Czechoslovakia in 1945. So it is not true, that the borders of Hungary are the same as they were in 1933.

Kosovo is independent deal with it
and Balesdine
My nation recognizes Kosovo, they got an independent governement, law system, economy and army. They are in my book
Freek Mulder Nah mate, if you knew the history behind Kosovo you'd agree with me. Kosovo used to be filled with Serbs in the 19th century but mysteriously the Serbian population started to decline as the Albanian population increased. This accelerated in ww2 when genocide was commonplace so the Albanians could continue doing as they wished since Nazi Germany gave them Kosovo and supported the genocide of Serbs. Only in 1998 did it become apparent after the Yugoslav wars that something had gone seriously wrong as Kosovo was now full of Albanians and the Serbs were in danger of being exterminated. Then came the KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army) who was a recognised terrorist organisation who tried to kill as many Serbs as possible, if you google a picture of the leader he is holding the severed heads of Serbs. Serbia wasn't very happy with this and sent in forces to stop them which was met with fights and the Albanians decided to take the piss and call for help saying they were being ethnically cleansed by Serbs. In comes NATO, bombs the shit out of Belgrade after already being devastated by the wars in early 1990s. Kosovo doesn't deserve to be an independent state because it is built ok the skulls of millions of serbs and if we let it go we lose our historical sites, lots of land, a part of the country we could use for our economy and our Serbs living there. We lose everything the Albanians get it all when they don't deserve it.
Benamon9 First of all it's Palestine and no they are not satisfied ever with what they are given so long as Israel exists, they refused every deal given to them by the Israelites who are tired of being fire bombed all the time by the Palestinians.
