• Russian Empire → Poland, Finland, Baltics, USSR
  🔹 Happened between WWI and 1922 (Revolutions 1917, Brest-Litovsk 1918, USSR formed 1922).

• Ottoman Empire (lost everything outside Anatolia)
  🔹 Finalized between WWI and 1922 (Sèvres 1920, Lausanne 1923).

✅ Pattern to memorize:
Almost all the “broke up, expanded, lost” happened in the same big jump — between WWI (1918) and 1922, when the treaties were signed and the new borders settled.

The 1910 → WWI jump = mostly the same map, just empires at war.
The WWI → 1922 jump = the massive reshuffle.
The 1922 → 1930 jump = stabilization of those new borders.
