Is there any other nation in history whose borders have been dictated by invaders, neighbors, enemies, and conquerors more than Germany?

Poland

Algeria
Drawn by the French with a ruler

Germany and Poland failed to centralize and had weak states so it made them easy targets for their neighbours

who since then has done anything to the border?

and how their enemies quavered when they finally had the power to shape their destinies

Turkey

Isn't that how basically all borders are formed? Save I guess the occasional island country that just unifies the island.

>Nein

>Alexander "macht aus Gdansk wieder Danzig" Gauland

Replace "French" with "English", and replace "Algeria" with "the entire fucking world", and you're 100% correct.

...

and how they were raped when their enemies knocked them back to reality.

self fulfilling prophesy, be careful what you unleash

Mexico.

unless you count that nations internal strife that an easy no

>Memeland

>Memeland

>no one has posted this absolute meme of a country yet

>conquer all your neighbors to create your borders
>get conquered by your neighbors later
>except they still let you keep a good chunk of your territory
>WOW ITS SO UNFAIR POOR GERMANS

>unite all neighboring German states to create your borders
>neighbors get jealous of your might and conquer you
>take away the richest and most important lands leaving you with all the unimportant land
>turn it into an economic powerhouse anyways

Ur a catamite Hans and ur country is made for migrants

DO IT AGAIN BOMBER HARRIS

Germany today still rules over large swaths of territory that wasn' ethnically German a thousand years ago.

By that logic pretty much none of Germany's territory today was Germanic thousands of years ago; it was Celtic.

This.

Every other country is the same.

Don't start shit you can't finish

Veligrad aka Mecklenburg

To be fair, the same can be said for literally every ethnic group in Europe.

...

seemsa bout right

"""""mutilation"""""

Exactly. Borders are a consequences of a nation's ability to defend them, either militarily or diplomatically. They're not an inalienable right, as much as today's legal code implies.

>a nation made out of whole cloth is capable of mutilation
>Germany is built on the claims of Habsburgs but we'll just conveniently ignore that
lol no

Jesus Christ at least people don't do this shit with Italy

Germany's position in Europe made it clear it was always going to be the last place to have any kind of central authority, props to the poles for trying to make the best of their geographical situation with the Commonwealth though.

>get most of these territories by war
>lose them the same way

It's like poetry

>plaything of your neighbors for centuries
>not a plaything any longer
>this is a bad thing

Not far enough desu

...

>Drawn with a ruler
You realize that's in the middle of the Sahara desert, where apart from Tuareg merchants passing through the literally endless dunes once a year to sell salt in Morocco there is NOTHING. No people, hardly any animals, just endless dunes and pure desolation.

Belgium.

While i do agree that Germany lost way more than they should have over the years, but that map is just fucking ridiculous, Northern Schleswig? Even the fucking Nazis gave up their claim on it because there were so few Germans there.
