map of the Second German Reich, 1905


A smaller scale but continuation map of the one for Denmark (see earlier post).  To the east was the Russian Empire, to the southeast the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  It all changed with the end of WW1. 

Between 1938 and 1940 Hitler recreated the Second Reich (except for the 1920 border with Denmark) and added in Austria and a large chunk of what is now the Czech Republic.  That was all changed again in 1945.
