Keep contemporary issues out of this thread.Well it's starting2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine - Wikipedia
Two proposals regarding the Ottomans and Hungary:
1683
1529 (Not sure if this truly was a proposal)
1683
1529 (Not sure if this truly was a proposal)
That's wild. I wonder if "Upper Hungary" would have eventually morphed into an early Slovakia.
The 1916 Treaty of Bucharest, showing what the Entente offered the Romanians to be in their side. While Bessarabia is shown in diagonal stripes here, it was not offered. If the map is to be believed (the Wikipedia page has more details) it seems they were offered more than they ended up getting from Hungary. I am guessing partially because they could have went for the names of entire regions, and Banat ended up split between Romania and Yugoslavia. Also looks like the Romanians got a bit of land north of Bukovina here.
yes none of the allies would have dared to offer Romania Bessarabia back in 1916 ☺
Not sure if this has been done before, but here's a map of the claimed borders of the Belarusian Democratic Republic. (1918)
Hmmm, odd coloring for those Arctic Islands. They are all in Arkhangelsk, and I can’t seem to find anything signifying they were not before the recent annexation of the Nenets area. I also have to say it is telling that St. Petersburg and Moscow don’t have letters when describing possible mergers. Maybe because it doesn’t have autonomous oblasts or non-ethnic Russians being swallowed up? Also a bit confusing with the mixed numbers in yellow north of Mongolia.
It's interesting to see what Napoleon sought to change from this given how he eventually ruled.Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès' draft constitution for the French Consulate as described by one of the people who saw it, Boulay de la Muerthe. Here is a link to where I found this, and here is a link with some additional information and thoughts on how it might have worked in practice.
Maps of the planned Markerwaald polder in the Markermeer lake in the Netherlands. Originally planned by the Dutch civil engineer Cornelius Lely as part of the other polders in the Zuiderzee known as the Zuiderzee works, the first image is the original planned extent of the polder until the 1960s, the second image is the extent of the polder after revisions were made throughout the 1970s and early 80s due to environmental concerns (believing that the use of the Markermeer for recreation and as a buffer protecting Amsterdam from weather coming from the North Sea outweighed the potential benefits of the polder), and the third image is the Marker Waaden, a chain of islands that will instead be created in the lake after the original polder was scrapped.

Maps of the planned zones for the 1920 Schleswig plebiscites, with the northern zone, in red, voting as a bloc and voting overwhelmingly to join Denmark, while the parishes in the pink central zone were supposed to each vote whether to join Denmark or to remain part of Germany, but none did. The plebiscite was never held in the southern zone as a result. The second map shows the percentage of the vote in each parish to join Denmark. There was actually a constitutional crisis in Denmark around Easter 1920 before the plebiscites resulting from the dismissal of the government by the Danish King Christian X, who agreed with many conservatives and Danish nationalists that central Schleswig should be returned to Denmark regardless of the results of the plebiscite, and believed that the elected government was not pushing hard enough for the territory to become part of Denmark. There was nearly a revolution which overthrew the Danish monarchy entirely until King Christian agreed to hold another general election, followed by amendments to the Danish constitution which got rid of most of the real power of the monarchy.

Certainly can't fault the Assyrians for lack of ambition
There'll be Danish Entre Rios if you aren't careful.
