I want to do a list of territorial claims in Europe in the pre-WWI and post-WWI time periods. Basically, I want someone to correct me if I missed some territorial claim(s) and/or got anything wrong. Anyway, here goes:
Pre-World War I:
*France: Alsace-Lorraine
*Belgium: Malmedy?
*Germany: None
*Austria-Hungary: None.
*Italy: At least Trentino and Trieste, but possibly South Tyrol, Zara/Zadar, and/or Dalmatia as well.
*Greece: Eastern Thrace, Smyrna, northern Epirus, Cyprus?
*Bulgaria: Macedonia and southern Dobruja.
*Romania: Transylvania, the Romanian-majority areas of Hungary proper, the Banat, Bessarabia, and Bukovina.
*Serbia: Montenegro, Vojvodina/the Banat, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Carinthia, and Trieste.
*Albania: Kosovo?, western Macedonia?
*Russia: Galicia, Subcarpathian Ruthenia, the Memelland, the Polish-majority parts of Germany, the Armenian Vilayets of the Ottoman Empire, and Constantinople.
*Ottoman Empire: Kars Oblast, Baku?

What exactly am I missing here?
