disputed btw. Electorate of Cologne & Cleves

 

  • Simplified country name: Cologne\Cleves
  • Nation: Ecclesiastical Germany (1)
  • Predecessor: Electorate of Cologne
  • Chronology
    • 1772: Quasi-country created when Prussian Cleves claims sovereignty over the Bönninghardter Heide, previously held solely by the Electorate of Cologne; (the Electorate simultaneously claims sovereignty of the Seveler Heide, previously held solely by Prussian Guelders)
    • 1794: Quasi-country terminated upon French occupation/end of database

 

(1) I keep the disputed Heiden in their original nations, because the alternative (Jointly-Ruled Germany) is not descriptive of the ad hoc nature of the governance

  • Nation: Kingdom of Prussia (1)
