    Skåne, Halland and Blekinge, ~ 1/4 of Sweden
    Not even close to a quarter of Sweden by area, a bit over a sixth by population.

      Heresson's map of Greater Poland is lame.

        I think it's neeeds a bigger map.
        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
        Then why call him God? - Epicurus

            this is not the furthest extent. Also what I wanted to show is all the provinces demanded for Poland at one or another point in XX century

                You're right, I should've said by population in this case, as the others I mentioned were by area.

                BTW, I think ca. 1/4 ~ ca. 1/6 when we're talking demographics 400 years into the past.

                      Fair enough, though you should have included Bohemia and Moravia since those areas were annexed prior to Sept 1939.

                        Not quite, because it's missing Central America, which was all part of Mexico at one point.

                        BTW, the map of Greater Israel is accurate, at least as far as Theodore Herzel (the founder of modern Zionism) dreamed anyway.

                          Third Reich map is fair enough in context of this thread.

                          MOBIUS, there was a pro German clique but also a strong antifascist movement in the country.

                            But who was actually running the country at the time?

                              Germans, Italians and quislings the major part. Smaller areas in the mountains were "liberated zones".
