  • Enter a country in the box below
  • Correctly named countries will show up below
  • Answers do not have to be guessed in order
  • Countries do not have to exist today to be an answer. They must only have bordered France or its possessions at one point since 1870. Vichy France, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Republics count as France.
  • Militarily occupied territory does not count. Only lands that were annexed. Modern (1986) "regions" are used for the third column.
  • Also try: Borders of Germany (1871-)
