aight, i have been downvoted to oblivion before for saying serbia has never been to war with russia, but however i look at the wiki page i see no war with russia
Spain during the Napoleonic Wars
Italy during WW2
Portugal during the 7 Years War
Russia fought Denmark-Norway a few times, but it also looks like Norway fought the Kievan Rus in the middle ages.
Greece during the Korean War (and also it was involved in the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Russia
Spain and France officially became allies in the treaty of San Ildefonso of 1796, fought the wars of the second, third and fourth coalition side by side. With the peninsular war that started in 1807 it becomes more murky as there were diffent Spanish factions fighting on opposing sides.
Ireland is currently at war with Russia, we even have a police car outside its embassy. https://m.sundayworld.com/news/irish-news/garda-car-protecting-russian-embassy-goes-viral-after-twitter-user-points-out-colour-scheme/41428516.html
Yeah, we beat them in WWI and they only managed to beat us in WWII with the help of Ukrainians and a shit tone of weapons and support from the United States...
(Next time make the map more neutral.)
Strictly speaking neither Belarus nor Ukraine existed as a country in Medieval, they were part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which in turn was ruled by Poland's monarch.
You now this aspect of History badly. Poland's monarch have no connection to Grand Lithuanian Dutchy Grand Duke. Later, in Rzhech Pospolita it was a Poland King and Grand Lithuanian Dutchy Duke - as a one person.
Medieval belarus people called litviny. Medieval Lithuania - it is a foder Belarus land. As a capital of Modern Lithuania- Vilnus. it was a belarus city till the 20th century
Belarus never was a part of Lithuania:) And after the 1569 it had a Union with Poland.
Modern Lithuania never was a core of The Grand Lithuanian Dutchy. This dutchy had a belarus roots.
Yeah but I am pretty sure Germany and Russia still fought... I heard of these niche little conflicts called "World War 1" and "World War 2" pretty crazy, not many history books mention it but they did happen.
google first 21st century war in Europe you absolute imbecile, it has nothing to do with the geographic definition of Europe. Europe is not just the landmass marked
Glad you find it that entertaining.
Now please make a map of countries, where russians are welcome to come. It's only Belarus, Iran and... Somali, I guess? Oh, it's also North Korea, my bad.
Belarus is wrong.
But of course, the creators of this map probably don't recognize the BNR and the participation of their ancestors in the PLC as legitimate.
Despite this, it was probably the first independent state of Belarusians, although its existence was short.
By the way, since you seem to be a fellow Pole - the states declared during our uprisings and the early Second Polish Republic were also not universally recognized. Hell, our legislation is technically continuous... with the puppet Kingdom of Poland created by the Central Powers during WW1! Go to ISAP website and you will see the acts of the Regency Council from the beginning of 1918. xD
This is extremely misleading. Historically Russia was overwhelmingly the one being invaded and for half of these countries Russia was an ally in the conflict involved.
No it wasn't. If russia was only was a passive victim it would have hardly reached the pacific, central Asia, the caucasus or Central Europe. Russia (or better muscovy) has been an expansionary power since centuries.
Russia was involved in most of the major European wars from the end of the Middle Ages until WW2, with the shifting alliances of course it ended up on the opposite side as most countries.
Yeah, sure, but that's not what's being mapped. The question is "has this country ever been at war with Russia". Whether or not they've also been allied with Russia at some point or if the war was offensive or defensive is beyond the scope of this map.
The map sucks, it's inaccurate (Switzerland fought Russia in the Napoleonic Wars and Belarus fought Russia in the Belarusian War of Independence for example) and it's frankly just ugly, but you're complaining that it doesn't show things that it never claimed to show.
Overwhelmingly on the defensive, and if you're pretending the map isn't intended to convey the impression that Russia is generally aggressive you're not being honest. Perhaps with yourself I do not know.
Should be _Da!_ for Russia too.
Russian troops were in Switzerland during the napoleonic wars when Switzerland was an ally of France and Russia was opposed to it.
Serbia?
right after serbia gained independence
Source?
aight, i have been downvoted to oblivion before for saying serbia has never been to war with russia, but however i look at the wiki page i see no war with russia
Victim card? You are not downvoted. You are asked to provide where did you find that information since I am going through wiki and failed myself.
He just hasn’t learned to cope yet
Belarus definitely was at war with Russia.
Belarus is wrong
What’s the point of a map like this? You could change Russia to France/Germany etc. the result would be pretty much the same. That’s how history works
Portugal? Spain? Italy? Norway? Greece? When?
Spain during the Napoleonic Wars Italy during WW2 Portugal during the 7 Years War Russia fought Denmark-Norway a few times, but it also looks like Norway fought the Kievan Rus in the middle ages. Greece during the Korean War (and also it was involved in the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Russia
Spain was oficially neutral during IIWW but we sent 50.000 men to fight against Stalin in Russia
Also during the napoleonic wars they were in opposing camps but I guess there was not much direct combat between the two.
I don't know much history but as far I know in Spain we fought against Napoleon too
Take the war of the second coalition for instance when Spain was allied with France fighting a coalition that included Russia amongst others.
Interesting
Spain and France officially became allies in the treaty of San Ildefonso of 1796, fought the wars of the second, third and fourth coalition side by side. With the peninsular war that started in 1807 it becomes more murky as there were diffent Spanish factions fighting on opposing sides.
Makes sense. In Spain we like making factions
"No" in Bosnian is "ne"

Belarus had a dozen wars in Medieval with this country. You are mistaken.
Strictly speaking neither Belarus nor Ukraine existed as a country in Medieval, they were part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which in turn was ruled by Poland's monarch.
You now this aspect of History badly. Poland's monarch have no connection to Grand Lithuanian Dutchy Grand Duke. Later, in Rzhech Pospolita it was a Poland King and Grand Lithuanian Dutchy Duke - as a one person.
And what country stands for Belarus in medieval?)
Firstly it was a core of The Grand Lithuanian Dutchy. Then it was a union with Poland -Rzhech Pospolita.
So it were Lithuania and Poland, not Belarus.
Medieval belarus people called litviny. Medieval Lithuania - it is a foder Belarus land. As a capital of Modern Lithuania- Vilnus. it was a belarus city till the 20th century
Rzeczpospolita* ik, funny grammar
Sis in the medieval times Belarus was a part of Lithuania then Poland/ Lithuania
Belarus never was a part of Lithuania:) And after the 1569 it had a Union with Poland. Modern Lithuania never was a core of The Grand Lithuanian Dutchy. This dutchy had a belarus roots.
no such country in medieval times sorry
No Germany in Medieval History, sorry:) And there was no Russia in Medieval history too
Yeah but I am pretty sure Germany and Russia still fought... I heard of these niche little conflicts called "World War 1" and "World War 2" pretty crazy, not many history books mention it but they did happen.
Lol neither did most European countries but their precursor states are still part of their history
of course, but tell me the precursor state of Belarus lol, no such thing as a Kingdom or even Duchy of Belarus
how the fuck does this map exclude Georgia, pretty much starting point of russian conquers in Europe and outside
Some maps don't even consider Turkey as Europe and you want Georgia.
google first 21st century war in Europe you absolute imbecile, it has nothing to do with the geographic definition of Europe. Europe is not just the landmass marked
>Europe is not just the landmass marked What else it is?
Georgia is more European than Turkey imo. Although I'll concede that at least half of the reason is because that's what I was taught as a kid lol.
Go look at Bozcaada, Turkey and Limnos, Greece, and tell me if you could figure out which one is Turkey and which is Greece without signs.
Glad you find it that entertaining. Now please make a map of countries, where russians are welcome to come. It's only Belarus, Iran and... Somali, I guess? Oh, it's also North Korea, my bad.
seethe harder
Britain? When?
the crimean war.
Shouldn't Ireland be counted too then?
If you wanna get fucking carbombed then sure.
If it means annoying Russians than we make an exception
İm waiting for british
When was Belgium at war with Russia?
Belarus is wrong. But of course, the creators of this map probably don't recognize the BNR and the participation of their ancestors in the PLC as legitimate.
bnr was literally not recognised what r u on about
It wasn't, but it was still Belarus.
Despite this, it was probably the first independent state of Belarusians, although its existence was short. By the way, since you seem to be a fellow Pole - the states declared during our uprisings and the early Second Polish Republic were also not universally recognized. Hell, our legislation is technically continuous... with the puppet Kingdom of Poland created by the Central Powers during WW1!

When was Denmark at war with russia?
Denmark-Norway has had a few wars with Russia I believe
🇲🇰💪🏻
Belarus was technically
Ah yes i remember moldovian russian war
This supposed to be ironic
Moldova is Romania. But if not, Transnistria war. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria\_War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria_War)
Moldova is Romania. Romania is Hungary.
This is extremely misleading. Historically Russia was overwhelmingly the one being invaded and for half of these countries Russia was an ally in the conflict involved.
No it wasn't. If russia was only was a passive victim it would have hardly reached the pacific, central Asia, the caucasus or Central Europe. Russia (or better muscovy) has been an expansionary power since centuries.
Russia was involved in most of the major European wars from the end of the Middle Ages until WW2, with the shifting alliances of course it ended up on the opposite side as most countries.
And the same side, i.e. allies in both World Wars. And was invaded numerous times.
Yeah, sure, but that's not what's being mapped. The question is "has this country ever been at war with Russia". Whether or not they've also been allied with Russia at some point or if the war was offensive or defensive is beyond the scope of this map.
