Maps of Greater [insert country]

[VetLegion]

Well, I got this idea from the Turkey thread.

What I'd like is everyone to find a map of your "greater country", by which I mean maps of your country at it's greatest historical extent or including all "historical provinces" or including all nationals living in neighbouring countries as minorities or something along those lines, I bet you know what I mean.

Rules:

1. Don't draw them yourself.
2. The map should ideally have been "actual" in the last century or so, as a part of someone's political platform or something.
3. If there are many such maps, pick the most important ones, don't post twenty of them.

This is for Croatia, I'll try to find a bigger one later:



It includes all Bosnia and parts of nowadays Serbia. This was never a teritorial reality, but NDH, a quisling "state" during the WWII came close.

well I read that thread too and I wondered what this "greater finland" thing was all about and I found this disturbing map in wikiopedia.
now the green part belongs to norway, there aren't (m)any finns there. what is "lebensraum" in finnish?

this is the extent actually controlled in WWII. The control was not perfect because of partisans and war, but this image still warms the heart of many a Croatian nationalist:

This one caused us much grief. One proposal for Greater Serbia:

seems like most of istra and the coast is occupied by italy, what do the nationalists think about that?

Hungary got screwed royally post WWI, but to be fair the yellow area which says "Horvatoszag" (Croatia) wasn't really a true part of Hungary, more like a federal component. Basically, we had one crown and Croatia had lots of paperwork about it's autonomy, of course, Hungarians didn't always appreciate that but we petitioned Vienna to death

I'd say it looks about that
PLUS colonies.

I think you should just give Croatia over to Hungary. They'll take better care of you than the Serbs.

True. The quisling bastard sold those parts to Italy, and some still think him a hero of some sort . They are not very consistent. But trust me, those wackos are a tiny tiny minority over here.
