As the maps show, the postwar treaties carved up old empires into many small new nations, causing huge land losses for the Central Powers and changing the face of Europe. • The former empire of Austria-Hungary was dissolved, and new nations were created from its land: Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia. • The Ottoman Turks had to give up much of their land in southwest Asia and the Middle East. In Europe, they retained only the country of Turkey. • Poland, which had long been divided among Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary, was reconstituted. • Russian land yielded the new nations of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. • Russia and Austria-Hungary gave up additional territory to Poland and Romania.
