All Modern-Day Countries Ever Controlled by Germany
With the help of a map, can you guess all modern day countries that were at one point under German rule from 1871 (unification of the German Empire) up to now?
I think when a part of a country is smaller than the dot for a city it should be highlighted somehow. I really enjoy the first phase of these quizzes: going round the world filling in countries and thinking about the history of it, but the second phase of zooming in all over the place searching for a tiny dot somewhere isn't as satisfying. I always nominate them though, I definitely love them much more than not!
I guessed Azerbaijan because of the alphabetical list, didn't think to try Armenia because that should be before Austria...
I'll probably end up revising the map at one point. And yes, it's Hankou, which was a separate city that would eventually merge with Hanyang and Wuchang to form Wuhan.
Finland: Short-lived nominal monarchy (1918-1919) that was a German client state for some time.
Georgia: Another German client state/protectorate. Under de facto German control for the first few months of its independence in 1918.
Guinea: Kapitäi and Koba, a short-lived German colony existing from 1884 to 1885.
Dobruja region (Romania/Bulgaria): Under joint Central Powers (Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Ottomans) condominium from 1916 to 1918.
Mozambique/Zambia: East African Campaign.

BTW is that Wuhan in China??
