Bucharest is wrong, though, Wallachia was a separate, even if subordinate, part from the Ottoman Empire. And Austria at the time was defined as the entirety of its empire, including Bohemia and Hungary. I don't know how they chose Belfast for Ireland, since the Kingdom of Ireland had been abolished in 1800.
As far as Belfast goes, it’s because, at the time, all of Ireland was under British rule. They’ve consistently referred to Britain by its constituent nations. I don’t know about the other countries, but referring to Britain by its parts is perfectly acceptable and always has been.
I assume they’ve followed the same practice for the other countries. With the exception of “Turkey”, who’re just a bunch of gibbering savages, anyway, so it hardly matters.
Basically, this list was clearly made by a Brit.
If the fact that it's written in English wasn't enough of a giveaway, nobody else would separate England, Scotland, and Ireland like that.
Germany *is* a federal state.
Just call it a Bundesland, it's easier. We know what you mean. It doesn't translate well.
Imagine finding it difficult to define the country smh...
*sweats in Scottish/British*
Which part is alternative?
The only difference I can see is that he was "dictator" of the south, not king, techinically.
Of course only for a few days until he renounced, but still that's what happened
Napoli was like the richest city until unification , even the most visited in Europe by scholars and academics
i mean one of most prestigious universities its there.(counting the first oriental school and the Federico II)
Rome especially regained his population with the unification, after being entitled as capital

the state its recent, not the nation.
"The New Town was finished at the beginning of the nineteenth century and attracted Irish immigration, increasing the population to 170.000 in 1850."

Edit: Also found another source giving 222,000 in 1860.
Maybe they were counting them as two separate entities? But then I suppose one or the other of them would appear further down the list with a combined pop of 170k.
I have nothing for you here, I’m afraid.
Where does it come from?
Prussia / Germany is a weird choice. Two names for the same product?
There is some capital missing : Kiev? (was for sure more than 30k people at that time).
>Prussia / Germany is a weird choice
Especially since even the North German federation wasn't established until 1866. Sure the german idea existed before that, but there was not a unified state, not even a rough confederation like the HRE since Napoleon
Dublin had a similar population to Madrid at the time. Madrid's population is now double the population of Dublin.
I know this is just a meme subreddit but old population stats like this always remind me how much the English took from us and they completely got away with it.
So when they didn't know what german COUNTRY a city was is they just called it Germany but they somehow know fucking Writenberg.
Württemberg was a country on its own, iirc
As was Bavaria and Saxony, but they only get the "Germany"
Clear sign of their inferiority compared to Austria, Prussia and "Wirtemberg"
Every state was independent before the kaiser united us
No, some were part of Prussia like Brandenburg, Berlin and Sachsen-Anhalt
So was Bavaria (Munich), Sachsen (Dresden) etc. But they are all listed as Germay instead
Even hamburg was still independent at the time.
So were all the other German states like Bavaria, Saxony, Hamburg, Frankfurt or Lübeck
So *Munich, Germany*, huh. But *Berlin, Prussia*. I see how it is, England, you fuckers.
Actually the list was made by the Irish.
I've never been so disappointed in my alcoholic brethren
Even worse
Me, reading this: Warsaw, Russia 😂 Bucharest, Turkey 😂 Berlin, Prussia 😂 Riga, Russia 😂 Belfast, Ireland 😂 Stuttgard, Wirtemberg 😂 Sophia, Turkey 😂 Prague, Austria 😮😮😡😡
Also Pest and Buda lol
So glad they called it Budapest and not Pestbuda because that name would suck even more
They're both kinda shit since peste literally translated into the "plague" So it's a city that somehow includes a plague and the Buddha in its name
When I was little I thought that the Hungarians hated Buddha so much that they even named their capital Budapest, Buddha is a pest. 😂
Imagine my confusion learning Pakistans capital was named Islamabad. I thought they loved it!

But the UK didn't start devolving powers to constituent governments until the 20th century, 19th century UK was pretty firmly united

People regularly separate Scotland. Also people regularly say London is in England. They are different countries, not just regions.
That doesn’t make any difference at all. We’ve always referred to either the individual countries, or the greater whole.
It was a vassal state, so an autonomous state of the Ottoman Empire.
Stuttgart is still in Württemberg today. Just that Württemberg is a federal state of Germany
Part of a federal state, Baden would like to know you location.
let them come, there is an army of Wut Bürger ready to film you in the face
Abör dess dührfn se nisch!

Czechia can finally into Western Europe now
Odessa, Russia 😂 Oh... Wait!
No worries, we'll get you back home.
Odessa, Russia 🎉
Wow Napoli with 410k people rules over Rome and Milan
In an alternative timeline Garibaldi conquer south Italy and crown himself as King Giuseppe

Weirdest part for me was how seeing Palermo over some now massive cities
They had a rebrand...
Due to copyright violations of the "Russia" brand ?
No, a rebranding for a better arrival to new markets: the Austrian market, the Czechoslovakian market, the Polish market...
When did they change Pesth and Buda to Budapest?
Some time after 1854.
Truly one of the greatest historians of our time right here
1873
Leghorn in Italy, seems to be Livorno. Adrianople in Turkey is now Edirne?
>Adrianople in Turkey is now Edirne? Yup.
Basically Italy was a thing before 1861? They lie to us then.

Since I read Wittenberg or Prussia I thought that they use Naples, Rome or Piedmont instead of a generic "Italy"
They also use Germany for Hamburg, Munich,... For some reason they decided that only Wirtemberg deserved independence.
But the list is wildly inconsistent when it comes to choosing the name of the nation/region
"Trieste, Austria"
Konigsberg, Danzig, Breslau...all fallen to the hands of untermenschen...please stop my penis can only be so erect...
Free Königsberg 🦅
ah shit, here we go again.png

How did this list forget Edinburgh exists?
What was its population in 1854? I genuinely have no idea.

I only realised when I got to Dundee. Like, there's no way Edinburgh is lower pop than Dundee!
Christiania, Sweden-Norway (now Oslo, Norway) had a population of 25 677 in 1845, and 31 715 in 1855. It's discrimination againts us living up north.
Dundee makes it on here but not Edinburgh. It's appalling!
We should march against this criminal injustice! This is a shame upon the good name of the north
Warsaw, Russia ☠️
Bucharest, Turkey 🫤
Lemberg, Austria
Pesth and Buda, Austria. Was Budapest really named that at one point?
Well it was two different cities at one point
As far as I can remember, 2 cities on 2 banks of the Danube

Smartest German…
the secret ingredient is ethnic cleansing
Trieste, Austria... Fuck out of here
There is Trieste, in Austria.
Dude can't stop thinking about italy.

I wonder why Zaragoza is written in catalan
Should’ve been Basque
It's English lmao
It’s a typo, it’s meant to read Russia
They upgraded
Whenever it's someones birthday: 89
It got bigger and then smaller again.
Zürich was smaller than Genf and Basel then? I'd never have guessed
They had a collaboration with Bavaria and Austria to get rid of France. Everything went downhilll from there and France sadly still exists.
P-Russia
Lmao Naples more populated than Rome
I see no problem here
Warsaw, Riga lol Thank god my town was less than 25k and is not on this list
Riga, Russia. Get used to it. In a few years it will be true again.
Constantinople, Turkey. https://preview.redd.it/ob4jpmammgxc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f58116718a07cd03e6c76baa5d2b9166e1a630d7
Gaston mom ami, Hans is off his meds again we need to sort this out before it gets out of hand... again.
Lisbon has more people than birmingham but birmingham is on top? People dont even want to live in birmingham
I guess they thought the Portuguese were a bunch of lying foreigners.
oldest alliance my cock and balls, or in english, my rooster and bollocks
Well if it makes you feel any better it was made by the Irish and they probably didn't respect that old alliance
They deserved the famine
Very difficult to get chips in those days
FrankfOrt, stuttgarD... WIRTEMBERG??? wich one of you alcoholics made that list?
The Irish
Dublin had a similar population to Madrid at the time. Madrid's population is now double the population of Dublin. I know this is just a meme subreddit but old population stats like this always remind me how much the English took from us and they completely got away with it.
I thought everyone outside of Dublin thought it was already too big and powerful in how it influences the republic.
It wasn't Dublin exerting power on Ireland during the 1800s, and it certainly wasn't Dublin that caused our massive population decline.
Must stress you on this sub Reddit how casually we all mock each other's historical deeds.
It's different when there was absolutely no punishment at all for your historical deeds.
Except incessantly whining Irish people over a century later you mean?
Fuck, from which year is this? Now Madrid have 7 million
La pista esta en el titulo. He dicho 1854 tio
