    Had the Netherlands already started getting land back from water in the 16th century?

      I think what @i_love_FFT@lemmy.ml means is that on the Ottoman map you kinda get France, and then directly on the coastline right north of France you get Jutland. It’s sorta like if you took Europe and did a ripple cut to remove the Netherlands out of it.

        Yup! That’s what it looks like to me! After Denmark you get Sweden and Norway, and they’re easy to close to the UK!
