As the maps show, the postwar treaties carved up old empires into many small new
nations, causing huge land losses for the Central Powers and changing the face of Europe.
The former empire of Austria-Hungary was dissolved, and new nations were created
from its land: Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia.
The Ottoman Turks had to give up much of their land in southwest Asia and the
Middle East. In Europe, they retained only the country of Turkey.
Poland, which had long been divided among Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary,
was reconstituted.
Russian land yielded the new nations of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
Russia and Austria-Hungary gave up additional territory to Poland and Romania.
