How do you feel about the size, shape and position of Belarus and Poland?

We've all watched those maps since the beginning of the wars.

So I was just a kid back then and hence not really aware of geopolitics or interested in the news, particularly, but in the 80’s the anti-apartheid message was strong and Mandela made the news. I vaguely remember in the news they announced he died (while in prison), but don’t recall any details. Just looked at his Wikipedia page and he had a surgery in 1985.. this year ‘feels’ about the right time to me in terms of me remembering the announcement of his death.

Does anyone out there have a recollection of more details (year, cause) during the ‘time line’? Maybe this has already been covered before, but I’m new to this subreddit, so even a link to prior threads would be appreciated.

Much thanks!
