5. It's actually only a bit over 100 years

It covers 1772 to 1874.

If it had started 1,000 years ago, the Byzantine Empire would still have held modern-day Turkey, Greece, and a chunk of the Balkans; see map.

8. This website has all those historical maps....

Just pick the year and the borders for that year show up. Fascinating.
