What would've happened if Germany and Austria had lost land in WW1?
Austria got the borders it declared for itself, with the backing of the American President - German Bohemia, Teschen Sudetenland, South Tirol, Sudetenland, Ödenburg, and so on. Germany lost Alsace-Lorraine and North Schleswig, but nothing else. I know the Poles wanted a corridor to the sea, but if they'd gotten it, wouldn't there have been a much bigger German resentment towards the Poles? They did get free and unrestricted port rights in Danzig (to this day) and Stettin (till 1999), so the point's kind of moot. I was kind of surprised to see the idea of a "Polish Corridor" was floated by the Allies after WW1. It's not often found in history books nowadays.
How would Europe look if both countries had lost even more land in WW1?
