Map of the Kingdom of Belgium in 1914

You can also download a hi-res copy as a pdf (3 mbs).

This map shows the boundaries and major cities of the Kingdom of Belgium at the time it entered the First World War in 1914.

Note that since publishing this map we have been made aware of an error in the map - the small eastern Cantons gained by Belgium from Germany in 1919 are mistakenly shown as being part of Belgium in 1914.  See these resources for more information: Euphen Malmedy (Wikipedia) and this map showing territorial changes after the Treaty of Versailles.

Map of the Kingdom of Belgium in 1914

This map is incorrect as includes the areas given to Belgium at the Treaty of Versailles in 1920. It is thus the map of Belgium in 1920 rather than 1914.
