Surely, based on percentage, the winner is the Sovereign Millitary Order of Malta. They lost 100% of their land, but unlike most countries without land, they still retain their sovereignty.
Norway lost Greenland, Iceland, Shetland, Orkneys, Isle of Man, Faroe Islands, Jamtland, Herjedalen, Bohuslän and arguably a large part of the Antartica. Almost 5 million square km. Norway is now almost 400 000 square km. So she lost herself more than 10 times over.
@@kaushikrj5909 Nope. You're wrong. They were all a part of Norway, but then after Danish "unity" they Danes took them. But thanks for being so confident in something you don't know :) We should all strive to be as ignorant!!! :D
The Sovereign Order of Malta. It lost all of its territory (Malta) but is today still recognized as sovereign entity. It has a population, a government, a flag, its own currency and own law but not a single square meter of territory.
Yeah, kinda surprised you didn't mention either Vatican or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta Both lost 100% of their land at one point, yet remained more or less a sovereign entity under international law, and in Vatican's case they eventually regained a minuscule 0.001% of their former territory (yeah I did the math, they went from about 44000 to 0.5 km²)
Greenland used to be Norwegian. That's a big chunk to lose. Same with Faroe Islands, Shetland, Orkneys, Isle of Man, as well as a big chunk of what is today western Sweden
Much of Russia and Canada are unfit for agriculture or even habitation. The US has a huge amount of usable/useful territory. China does pretty well. Brazil -- so so. Australia -- much like Canada; just substitute desert for permafrost.
Idk why people say hungary lost territory, when they were in fact not fully independent and under Austrian rule. Austria lost all that territory, not Hungary. Austria gave that territory in the 1870s after 148 years of not existing. It was a gift that lasted 50 years and was then taken away.Don’t act all bitter abt territory you never fully owned for the past 200 years.
I would argue that the country that lost the most territory is the Kingdom of Burgundy, because it doesn't exist, and there was direct successor state to it.
i would mention the Polish and/or Lithuania considering the Commonwealth wasn't considered an Empire by many. Also Lithuania before the union with Poland was pretty big and was only considered a "Grand Duchy"
Palestine was never an independent country. The first time you got anything that could even claim to be a country of Palestine was the 1990s, when the Palestinian Authority was created under the Oslo Accords.
@@stephengray1344 Palestine is the legal successor of Mandatory Palestine. Palestine and Iraq were both independent states placed under League of Nations Mandate. The Zionists who are unwanted in the West were dumped in Palestine to rid the West of their presence once and for all. Nobody wanted them so they were forced to create Israel unlawfully on Palestinian land. That's why anti Semitic far right politicians in Europe support Israel and vice versa.
8:06 KMT were not really the original rulers of Taiwan. They were under the Imperial Japanese since the Qing Dynasty until 1945 when they surrendered. It was when the civil war went horribly that they retreated TO Taiwan and implemented the martial law under KMT rule. KMT was not founded in Taiwan, since their capital was in Nanking (or Nanjing).
9:35 Not an opponent of the R.o.C., however the fact is, their government controled noticibly less land, than which is now administered by the P.R.C., so your claim, that counting by the area of the P.R.C. (2024) (which they lost) is pessimistic, is false, or at the very least misleading.

Ooh, this might be the best win by technicality!
Fine point
Vatican by percentage
To an extent, i would argue Vatican City is a successor state to the Papal states. Monaco is the correct answer.
Or the sovereign order of Malta
I think this is the problem empire successor states from the beginning of the video, given they mostly amalgamated into Italy
@@ibx2cat You forgot to color Pakistan orange. British + Mongol overlap. And you should add orange dot for Hong Kong
I'm sad you didn't mention Monaco. The country lost 95% it's territory to the french and has been chilling ever since-
The Papal States or Vatican has lost about 99.98% of its territory
Mongolia. Bring back the Mongol empire 👑
Approved.
They'll need more horses
"Uncontroversal stretch of the middle east"
Best part of the video 😂 we love sarcasm
Assuming countries that still exist, percentagewise I guess the knights of malta or the papal state depending on how you see it.
Norway lost Greenland, Iceland, Shetland, Orkneys, Isle of Man, Faroe Islands, Jamtland, Herjedalen, Bohuslän and arguably a large part of the Antartica. Almost 5 million square km. Norway is now almost 400 000 square km. So she lost herself more than 10 times over.
Norway never owned any of these but was part of Denmark.

its actually the vatican, when they were the papal states they controlled a large chunk of italy and now are reduced to not even 1 square mile
I think this is the problem of successor states to empires from the beginning of the video!
Brunei used to control a lot of Borneo and is another small country now, I don't think they ever referred to themselves as an empire either

Poland lost the most because they lost all of their land twice, so they lost at least 200% of their land.
hahaha, compelling argument!!
Nah fam where is HUNGARY?? We lost 2/3 of our territory!!! TRIANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!! NEM NEM SOHAAAAAAA
as an Austrian, I think I am on your side here
get the gang back together, guys

Calling it right now: Mongolia or the British Empire.

Norway was under a union with denmark
@@imperify7671 All this was before the union with Denmark, but the union is the reason why everything was lost
Vatican: Didn't have to cut me off
Liechtenstein as the last relic of the HRE:P
Portugal by percentage also lost a lot
vatican lost 99.9% of their former territory
Novgorod Republic is just one of many countries that has lost 100% of their land.
Denmark will lose a lot of territory if Greenland becomes fully independent (no longer a part of the Kingdom of Denmark).
London times?... In New York?...
Toycat got kicked out of the U.N. Headquarters. Fun!

Good Question! I'd say Mongolia
MONACO / VATICAN
What about the modern Vatican compared to the historic Papal States?
Surely it would be Portugal because of the treaty of tordesillas
What about the vatican. They lost almost all of their land
"this uncontroversial stretch of Middle East" 🤣🤣🤣
Hungary has lost a significant amount of territory aswell.
Order of st Malta
Vatican City
My guess would've been Lithuania
Has anyone ever told you that you look like a young Otto Witt from the film Zulu?
Luxembourg is a tax haven for rich Belgians, ofc it's rich ^^
Britain, surely?
