Czechia is among those who controlled Berlin because of Charles IV, most of you know him because Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, had a long and successful reign. The Empire he ruled from Prague expanded, and his subjects lived in peace and prosperity.
When he died, the whole Empire mourned. More than 7,000 people accompanied him on his last procession.
The heir to the throne of the flourishing Empire was Charles‘ son, Wenceslas IV, whose father had prepared him for this moment all his life. But Wenceslas did not take after his father. He neglected affairs of state for more frivolous pursuits. He even failed to turn up for his own coronation as Emperor, which did little to endear him to the Pope. Wenceslas „the Idle“ did not impress the Imperial nobility either.
His difficulties mounted until the nobles, exasperated by the inaction of their ruler, turned for help to his half-brother, King Sigismund of Hungary. Sigismund decided on a radical solution. He kidnapped the King to force him to abdicate, then took advantage of the ensuing disorder to gain greater power for himself. He invaded Bohemia with a massive army and began pillaging the territories of the King’s allies.

In 1631, Swedish forces entered Berlin. This forced Brandenburg to cooperate with protestants in the 30 Years War
“Almost controlled” is an objectively ridiculous category

Principality of Copnic paid a tribute to Poland, so we can say Poland controlled Berlin.

Belarus and Ukraine definitely controlled Berlin, and the Baltic States technically did as well. Belarus and Ukraine, other than being part of the USSR, contributed troops to the war effort that took Berlin. The Baltics, by definition, controlled Berlin as well.
Poland also controlled Berlin, as Polish troops (as part of the First Polish Army, under the 1 Byelorussian Front) captured Berlin alongside the Red Army.

in 1757 Andras Hadik (Hungarian from the habsburg empire) controlled Berlin for a week before leaving with a huge pile of coins but not hurting any civilians or destroying anything but the gate

Where is the USA? They controlled a part of it

I wouldn’t say that we currently control it. It’s more like that we mostly tolerate it.

If anyone is interested, Russia has taken Berlin three times.

Technically Hungary too when Sigismund was King of Hungary and Elector of Brandenburg.

I assume the reason why Poland is marked as „almost“ is Principality of Copnic (known as Kopanica in Polish and Köpenick in German), which controlled Berlin and for some time was a Polish fief.

András Hadik took Berlin in 1757 during the Seven Years War. Also they paid war reparations to the Hungarian hussars which is quite nice of a performance.

Didn’t Austria also partook in the raids on Berlin during the [Silesian Wars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1757_raid_on_Berlin)/[Seven years War?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1760_raid_on_Berlin)
is it right to don’t include the countries that were part of Soviet Union? I mean, kreshev was ukranian
Little known fact, but Berlin had been captured by both Soviet and Polish armies. [Soviet flag wasn’t the only one on the Reichstag.](https://www.outono.net/elentir/2017/05/01/the-red-flag-was-not-the-only-one-in-berlin-in-1945-what-the-soviet-propaganda-concealed/)
Also if we’re talking about countries as of today, then [it were Belarussians and Ukrainians who got there actually.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Berlin)
If I were Berlin I won’t be comfortable neighbouring Luxembourg.
Does raiding the city during the seven years war not count as „almost“? Because then Austria and/or Hungary should be yellow too.
Por qué Rusia sí, y Ucrania no?
Si es porque „heredera de la URSS“, en todo caso va Kazajistán, no Rusia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A1s_Hadik?wprov=sfti1#
This should count for either Austria or Hungary
Hitler was Austria, sooooo……
Palestine current?
Those never countries are just plain lazy.
Turkey should be blue
Russians have actually done it twice. Actually once technically since the moment we remember was the Soviet Union.
During the Seven Years War, the Russian Army briefly occupied Berlin. Look it up
pls. add Austria (or even Hungary 🙂 )
