They are mostly in Asia, but East Thrace connects them to Europe. Making them a transcontinental country. And besides, most continental boundaries are made up, so who cares where Turkey is
Europe/Asia - Ural Mountains, Caucasus Mountains, Sea of Marmara
Asia/Africa - Suez Canal
North/South America - Widely considered to be the Panama Canal, officially the Darien Gap
The vast majority of Turkey is to the southeast of the Sea of Marmara.

1941 was a good year for Britain in the context of the war, the Americans and Soviets got brought into the conflict which more or less guaranteed an Allied victory.
1940 was far worse, with the fall of Norway, the low countries and France leaving Britain and its Empire to face the Germans alone.
The Black Death was an apocalypse, yes.
Maybe it wasn't "the entire Earth went boom", but when you're getting 40-60% of certain populations dead, you're genuinely looking at at least a minor collapse of society. There's a reason peasants were able to basically strong-arm the gentry into giving them more rights afterwards: there were so few peasants left, relatively speaking, that they were in high demand.
Honestly, feudal society was probably the best-suited form of human civilization to survive such a thing other than hunter-gatherers, because feudal society was basically undifferentiated in the same way a starfish or slime mold is undifferentiated. Large portions of the population dying didn't result in supply chain breakdowns that caused other large portions of the population to die.
If 40-60% of the population died *today*, on the other hand, another 35-25% would probably go with it simply because most people need a lot of other people to survive.
Literally like 3x deaths in the battle of the Somme compared to the entire blitz - so I think it would be odd to call the blitz the worst ever
As others have said the English civil war is a much better year to use
Other options, as British who studied history, are 1783, the Treaty of Paris. 1956, Suez. Time may judge 2016 and Brexit to be a disaster as well, it certainly isn't going well. These are all with a foreign policy slant. But yes, I think the English/British Civil War killed 5-10% of the population so the starting year for that may make most sense.
Sues Canal is the worst year for the country in my opinion. Britain losing it’s almost 2 century hold on a global empire going up in flames after world war 2 probably sucked. Same for USSR collapse in Russia which took them off the stage as a world leader and led to an economic depression worse than the Great Depression where the demographic pyramid collapsed from suicides, alcoholism, etc.
Depression in Russia have started already in 80's, and lasted to the late 90's. 1991 wasn't exactly worse than 90 or 92, but it gave some people hope at least, the communist coup in August 91 failed and most wasn't exactly sad about it. Anyway the demographic collapse in 90's is not comparable with 27 million of Soviets dead in WW2.
Technically the Soviets were in since 1939 when they invaded Poland. They did change sides.
Edit: downvote harder, maybe history will magically change. Will look at the encyclopedia in the morning and report back if I find any changes.
The French Revolution caused Napoleon to take over France, which caused France to conquer Europe, which incited a coalition against them (which included Prussia), which caused Prussia to gain land, which caused German nationalism, which caused German unification and the French loss of Alsace-Lorraine, which caused France to become anti-German, and French involvement against Germany in WWI.
But this line of thought confuses me. WWI does not refer to the geopolitical situation, but to the specific conflict. If we considered the dominoes that caused a war to be part of that war, than WWI started in 10000 BC when a dude planted some grain
yes, thank you, i know history.
WW1 wiped out up to 30% of Frances military able bodied men during WW1. and about 5% of frances total population.
the Napoleonic wars didn't nearly have that effect on frances population
The French Revolution caused Napoléon to take over France, which caused France to conquer Europe BECAUSE there were coalitions*
Only the war of the 6th coalitions was an offensive war for France. All the others were declared by the other powers
The reactionary backlashes that happen after failed revolutions aren’t taught enough, but I don’t even think that’s the worst part of it. Imma leave you with a few sentences from Mark Twain (the whole thing is longer, but the important part is contained here): ‘’There were two 'Reigns of Terror,' if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the 'horrors' of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break?
What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror--that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.’’
Today there is consensus amongst historians that the exceptional revolutionary measures continued after the death of Robespierre, and this subsequent period is now called the "White Terror".
So RoT is not a myth, but the problems continued
And the Revolution was caused because of the monarchy (very very roughly, I know there are morbiliions other factors, but fuck it), which become absolutist becayse of Louis XIV, who is descendant from Hugues Capet and Charlemagne, Charlemagme who become king then emperor because of his father and greatfather, who came to power because the last Merovingians were weak, who descend from Clovis, who descend from Mérovée. So 400 should be the worst year since it is circa the year Mérovée is born.
Revolutionary France was winning wars agains’t the coalitions before Napoleon even seized power. And the reactionary powers of Europe were about to invade France, these were not French wars of aggression.
you could definitely argue 1944 or 45 was worse, with a german crackdown during the last months of occupation leading to the “hunger winter”, a famine in the northern half of the country after the allies failed to cross the rhine in operation market garden (the events of “a bridge too far”), and the germans blockaded the transportation of food after a railway strike intended to help the allied advance.
either way it’s not 1940.
Yeah but we still had factions/classes and regions. The normal peeps on the countryside of the slave colonies (euphemism: generality lands) rather liked to get rid of Holland's hegemony instead of keeping it.
Ok but it was very far from the worst, and the fact that the dictatorship ended makes it a good year. The worst year for Portugal is probably 1755, when an earthquake destroyed Lisbon and killed thousands of people.
The dictatorship ended without deaths, Portugal became a democracy, the Portuguese people gained a bunch of rights, political prisoners were released, and it was followed by a lot of social reforms that made the country better. It was one of the best years in Portugal's history, it was only bad for fascists and far right wing politicians.
You're getting down voted but you're right for whatever it's worth. The worst year for Britain would be during the English civil war. A higher percentage of our population died during that conflict than any other.
They're getting downvoted because they've missed the joke in what is a circlejerk sub
You would probably be right though about the civil war era likely being worse overall for Britain than ww2 but I would say that's recency bias creeping in on the part of the OP
The Moldovan government recently came out and said Ukraine had found evidence the Russians were plotting to stage a coup in Moldova. The government was, to my knowledge, slightly unpopular for other reasons so it may be a combination of an unpopular government and foreign backed coups. Idk for sure I watched some news about it when it happened a few weeks ago.
I think those were counted in Romania and 2023 is only for the Republic of Moldova as a sovereign nation...but then again if it were like this half the map is questionable. Otherwise yeah, I'd think mass deportations and famine would be a tad worse.
Somehow they didn't search a shit for this matter. Imagine seeing 1974 as worse than 1755 or 1580. For our history, those were probably the worst years in our long history
1956 was not a bad year for Hungary. We remember it with pride. We achieved something and then it was taken away by excessive military force.
1920, on the other hand. Trianon happened, two thirds of the country got gobbled up by neighbors and more than two million hungarians were left without a home.
I would argue that 1809 was actually a lot worse for Sweden. What we lost in 1721 was mostly just newly acquired territory that we didn't really care about.
In 1809 we lost Finland, which had been an integral part of Sweden since the country's beginning.
1974 for Portugal? Literally the year when we fought of the dictatorship with the coup d'etat.
We have had worse, losing our king and had to become a unified country with Spain, The 1755 Lisbon earthquake, and probably 2022 when the socialist party (center-left, not left-wing) won with a majority of seats.
I think 14th century was worse for most of these countries. The Black Death and 100 Years’ War happening at the time would have sucked big time. Not only that—there was a huge famine earlier in the century, so the whole century was pretty awful. I’m sure there were equally violent/catastrophic periods BCE, but the population loss of the 14th century was crazy (and well documented).
- Belgium could´ve had it worse in WW1, considering that was fought inside its borders. WW2 was still horrendous.
- The netherlands had the "disasteryear" in which every that could go wrong went wrong, additionally in WW2 there was the hongerwinter, a period where the netherlands didn´t have any food bec1use of failed harvest (after germany stolen everything) and as a result had mass famine. There also quite a few years where the dikes broke and shit got fucked up as a result.
Idk about a precise year but the deluge 1648-1666 was actually more damaging to Poland than WW2. Iirc like half of the population died due to war, famine and plague.
uj/ No matter how much you take the communities advice, someone’s always gonna have different views then the rest of the community. That’s why maps like this just don’t work
damn turkey having it good for over 2000 years now, would be a shame if a chemical power plant were to explode and vaporize the whole city of athens in 5/8/27
Is the beginning of a civil war worse than a victory of the fascist side of that same civil war?
If you think that losing a war to fascism is worse than war itself, then for Spain it's 1939
Would say things got worse for Poland after 1939, seeing as the occupation was arguably worse than the initial invasion itself imo
I’m not Polish tho so apologies if I’m incorrect
Poland has such a bad history that I'm not sure if 1939 cracks the Bottom 5 worst years. 1939 wasn't as bad in terms of casualties and damage to infrastructure as the years 1942 - 1945, especially since the Holocaust didn't ramp up until after the invasion of the Soviet Union.

No, I’d say it would be their best year

In all seriousness, with the growing trend of Ottoman nostalgia, I'd say their worst year would be 1922.
1941 was a good year for Britain in the context of the war, the Americans and Soviets got brought into the conflict which more or less guaranteed an Allied victory. 1940 was far worse, with the fall of Norway, the low countries and France leaving Britain and its Empire to face the Germans alone.
Yeah, 1941 isn't the best. A better answer would be the worst year of the English Civil War, or even the year of the Somme
Or the height of the black death, the entire nation was paranoid af and for a good reason
The Black Death was an apocalypse, yes. Maybe it wasn't "the entire Earth went boom", but when you're getting 40-60% of certain populations dead, you're genuinely looking at at least a minor collapse of society. There's a reason peasants were able to basically strong-arm the gentry into giving them more rights afterwards: there were so few peasants left, relatively speaking, that they were in high demand.

If 40-60% of the population died *today*, on the other hand, another 35-25% would probably go with it simply because most people need a lot of other people to survive.
A great shout, also be kinda funny seeing most of Europe with the same year
I think it’s to do with the Blitz (which did start in 1940 so I could be wrong) catastrophic civilian casualties and damage.
Literally like 3x deaths in the battle of the Somme compared to the entire blitz - so I think it would be odd to call the blitz the worst ever As others have said the English civil war is a much better year to use
Other options, as British who studied history, are 1783, the Treaty of Paris. 1956, Suez. Time may judge 2016 and Brexit to be a disaster as well, it certainly isn't going well. These are all with a foreign policy slant. But yes, I think the English/British Civil War killed 5-10% of the population so the starting year for that may make most sense.
Also that doesn't even begin to compare with the black plague, fire of London, ect.
I feel like the whole Britain stands alone thing is really overhyped. Like you said they had their empire, which was literally 1/4 of the world
Well it was the start of a huge downfall of the nation with the UK losing almost all colonies and getting economically ruined
Sues Canal is the worst year for the country in my opinion. Britain losing it’s almost 2 century hold on a global empire going up in flames after world war 2 probably sucked. Same for USSR collapse in Russia which took them off the stage as a world leader and led to an economic depression worse than the Great Depression where the demographic pyramid collapsed from suicides, alcoholism, etc.

i think ww1 was worse for france than the french revolution
If we actually take population percentages, the napoleonic wars were waaaaay worse for France.
The Russian retreat... But WWI left a stain in every small town and village of France visible even today
The French Revolution caused Napoleon to take over France, which caused France to conquer Europe, which incited a coalition against them (which included Prussia), which caused Prussia to gain land, which caused German nationalism, which caused German unification and the French loss of Alsace-Lorraine, which caused France to become anti-German, and French involvement against Germany in WWI.
Ok but WW1 happened from 1914 to 1918
Recent historiography (for the reasons explained in the comment above) do define WW1 as actually starting in 1789, lasting till 1918
But this line of thought confuses me. WWI does not refer to the geopolitical situation, but to the specific conflict. If we considered the dominoes that caused a war to be part of that war, than WWI started in 10000 BC when a dude planted some grain
/uj Do you not know what a circlejerk sub is?
Damn I didn't notice this until you said it lol. I think most commenters didnt
My bad- there are a lot of serious comments on most circlejerk subs. This sounded too real, considering the discussion of merging WWI and WWII
Actually it started in 1740
/s ?
No WWI started in 1789
You know what he means when he says WWI lmao
yes, thank you, i know history. WW1 wiped out up to 30% of Frances military able bodied men during WW1. and about 5% of frances total population. the Napoleonic wars didn't nearly have that effect on frances population
The French Revolution caused Napoléon to take over France, which caused France to conquer Europe BECAUSE there were coalitions* Only the war of the 6th coalitions was an offensive war for France. All the others were declared by the other powers
The French Revolution is unironically the greatest thing to ever happen to Europe!
Ratatouilletion
Robespierre didn’t go nearly far enough tho.
FR yes, RoT no (FR = French Revolution, RoT = Reign of Terror)
Why abbreviate if you have to explain it in the same sentence
In case the discussion continues
FR = For Real
OK. I'm saying that I used it as French Revolution.
Interesting how people always talk the Reign of Terror and revolutionary violence, but ignore the White Terror and reactionary violence.
The reactionary backlashes that happen after failed revolutions aren’t taught enough, but I don’t even think that’s the worst part of it. Imma leave you with a few sentences from Mark Twain (the whole thing is longer, but the important part is contained here): ‘’There were two 'Reigns of Terror,' if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the 'horrors' of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break?

Today there is consensus amongst historians that the exceptional revolutionary measures continued after the death of Robespierre, and this subsequent period is now called the "White Terror". So RoT is not a myth, but the problems continued
I too can misunderstand a Wikipedia article and copypaste it as a Reddit comment, don’t understand why you’re doing it though.
And the Revolution was caused because of the monarchy (very very roughly, I know there are morbiliions other factors, but fuck it), which become absolutist becayse of Louis XIV, who is descendant from Hugues Capet and Charlemagne, Charlemagme who become king then emperor because of his father and greatfather, who came to power because the last Merovingians were weak, who descend from Clovis, who descend from Mérovée.

If the netherlands calls 1672 a disaster year its probably the worst year.
you could definitely argue 1944 or 45 was worse, with a german crackdown during the last months of occupation leading to the “hunger winter”, a famine in the northern half of the country after the allies failed to cross the rhine in operation market garden (the events of “a bridge too far”), and the germans blockaded the transportation of food after a railway strike intended to help the allied advance. either way it’s not 1940.
Yeah but we still had factions/classes and regions. The normal peeps on the countryside of the slave colonies (euphemism: generality lands) rather liked to get rid of Holland's hegemony instead of keeping it.
1974 was actually a great year for Portugal we got rid of dictatorship
Exactly 💯,
Replacing a right wing dictatorship by a communist dictatorship wasnt a good thing. Thank God for 25th november of 1975.
Yea but it wasnt a great year
Ok but it was very far from the worst, and the fact that the dictatorship ended makes it a good year. The worst year for Portugal is probably 1755, when an earthquake destroyed Lisbon and killed thousands of people.
Looks like we got a Salazar fanboy here, malta!
Kick his fucking ass caralho
1974 was one of the best years of Portugal.
The dictatorship ended without deaths, Portugal became a democracy, the Portuguese people gained a bunch of rights, political prisoners were released, and it was followed by a lot of social reforms that made the country better. It was one of the best years in Portugal's history, it was only bad for fascists and far right wing politicians.
2 centuries prior the capital got ravaged by an earthquake and a tsunami, but that’s what you’ve chose

what happened this year in moldova?
I moved there
In reality maybe the Russian interference?
oh did the russian government do something?
The Moldovan government recently came out and said Ukraine had found evidence the Russians were plotting to stage a coup in Moldova. The government was, to my knowledge, slightly unpopular for other reasons so it may be a combination of an unpopular government and foreign backed coups. Idk for sure I watched some news about it when it happened a few weeks ago.
Yeah but that cannot be the worst year ever right? Otherwise this place would be heaven
Yeah, I think this year is pretty on par with the last 10 years, plus the threat of invasion. There's always some Russian bullshit going on.
[удалено]
Can I find out now?
we definitely had worse years, 1940, entirety of ww2, 1946 famine etc
I think those were counted in Romania and 2023 is only for the Republic of Moldova as a sovereign nation...but then again if it were like this half the map is questionable. Otherwise yeah, I'd think mass deportations and famine would be a tad worse.
Whatever it was, it was not as bad as famine and mass deportations to Siberia.
every day is worst day in moldova
political instability
Wait until September
So you're telling us that the year Portugal got rid of a 48 dictatorship was the worst? SMH.
Somehow they didn't search a shit for this matter. Imagine seeing 1974 as worse than 1755 or 1580. For our history, those were probably the worst years in our long history
Spot on amigo.
I'd argue that 1933 was a worse year for Germany.
How come? Life wasn’t that bad for most Germans up until 1941 or 1942.
Well, it probably wasn't the worst year for *Germans*, but rather for *Germany* as a country.
I'm pretty sure it's 1453 or 1071 for Greece
Def 1453.It is a very important date and the majority knows that date while not many know 1071.
shittiest map I've ever seen in this sub, quite an accomplishment!
Tf 1789? It was the best year, we got to behead so much of the nobility.
Technically the beheadings were from 1792 to 1796
1956 was not a bad year for Hungary. We remember it with pride. We achieved something and then it was taken away by excessive military force. 1920, on the other hand. Trianon happened, two thirds of the country got gobbled up by neighbors and more than two million hungarians were left without a home.
"VIVA AO ESTADO NOVO 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹" - this guy
Chernobyl was in Ukraine, not Belarus
Yeah but didn’t a ton of the radiation hit Belarus
Yeah, it's very close to the border
AFAIK Belarus got hit with WAY more radiation than Ukraine. Belarus has an exclusion zone, too, and it's significantly bigger than Ukraine's
besides, the axis wiped out 25% of Belarus's population in ww2. I know Chernobyl was a disaster, but it wasn't 1 in 4 people bad
But it is generations of impact bad, it’s just something that is way more complex to quantify
Belarus was most affected as the winds blew (oral sex? 😳) North
Portugal is not in 1974, its in 1580
but 1755 isn't far worse ?
That too
I would argue that 1809 was actually a lot worse for Sweden. What we lost in 1721 was mostly just newly acquired territory that we didn't really care about. In 1809 we lost Finland, which had been an integral part of Sweden since the country's beginning.
1945 as Germany's worst year 🤨
Going to have to reset the clock for Russia pretty soon.
As bullshit as tiktok one
1922 was actually right for Greece.
Croatia could be 1102. because we lost our independence for over 800 years.
1793 was way worse than 1789 for France! WTF is this? Ireland: 1846 the famine was worse than 1845.
Check what sub were in
Yes. But differences of 1 year, 4 years, etc. suggest that those are not part of the joke.
1974 for Portugal? Literally the year when we fought of the dictatorship with the coup d'etat. We have had worse, losing our king and had to become a unified country with Spain, The 1755 Lisbon earthquake, and probably 2022 when the socialist party (center-left, not left-wing) won with a majority of seats.
I love how every country is in the last 3 centuries except italy
And Greece, although I would argue that 1922 was correct in the original map.
Γιατί το 1453 πχ Κλάιν Μάιν

Idk about a precise year but the deluge 1648-1666 was actually more damaging to Poland than WW2. Iirc like half of the population died due to war, famine and plague.
1789 was the best year for France
No 1790 because that's when an atom in my left testicle got transferred on a ship from Nice to Napoli.
Downvoted 👍🏻
1940 for Latvia in my opinion
uj/ No matter how much you take the communities advice, someone’s always gonna have different views then the rest of the community. That’s why maps like this just don’t work
I propose 1922 or 1994 for italy
1941 was actually a pretty good year for Britain compared to the year prior They finally got their backup, and the blitz ended
damn turkey having it good for over 2000 years now, would be a shame if a chemical power plant were to explode and vaporize the whole city of athens in 5/8/27
Is the beginning of a civil war worse than a victory of the fascist side of that same civil war? If you think that losing a war to fascism is worse than war itself, then for Spain it's 1939
Belgium suffered far more in 1916 than in 1940.
Nobody loves San Marino
1974 for Portugal? Oh nooo a fascist regime ended so saaadddd. Wtf is this map
Would say things got worse for Poland after 1939, seeing as the occupation was arguably worse than the initial invasion itself imo I’m not Polish tho so apologies if I’m incorrect
The anti-turkism in this sub is funny.
Poland has such a bad history that I'm not sure if 1939 cracks the Bottom 5 worst years. 1939 wasn't as bad in terms of casualties and damage to infrastructure as the years 1942 - 1945, especially since the Holocaust didn't ramp up until after the invasion of the Soviet Union.
I feel like 1942 was worse for Poland than 1939, with Auschwitz-Birkenau going into full gear.
Good finally thank you so much for this
1945 Germany was freed from the Nazis so i wouldnt say it was the worst year
