Historical maps
IntMap’s historical maps of the regions this outline lies in, on every date the map draws them. A region is a frame on the map, not a statement that Germany existed then: the names on each map are the ones the historical records give.

What this page states
The outline, the name and the code are Natural Earth’s (admin-0, public domain), the set IntMap’s map draws countries from. The map opens on the frame the app’s country search uses for it: the country itself, not every far-off island it holds.
A historical map is listed when its region’s frame overlaps this outline. It is listed for the place, not for the country: the borders on it are what the historical records draw.
An event is listed when the point the war record gives it falls inside this outline — a fact about the point, not about which state held the place at the time.
