On Maps and Countries ... pre-WW1 and now


These days, I am reading, listening, watching stuff on WW1 to better understand how WW2 happened. Many historians, when writing about WW2 maintain that the humiliation of defeat in WW1 and the redrawing of her borders plus the loss of her wealth in Africa , was the main cause for the bitterness Germans felt toward the United Kingdom and why they hated her so. UK, as it happened, had the loudest voice in the decision making of those days and as we all know, UK also had a whole big multitude of cartographers. 
Below is a nice little summary on the re-mapping of regions.
