As part of our ongoing series of historical video-maps, we present ‘Every European Country’s Maximum Extent,’ from YouTube creator Bulgarian Empire Mapping. As the name implies, the following video-map shows the borders of every European country at their greatest extent, whether it be France during Napoleon’s conquest of Europe in 1812, Germany during World War II, or Italy during the height of the Roman Empire. It is important to note that the borders of each civilization refer to their greatest extent in Europe and excludes colonies outside the continent.
