I know at least some JewishGen researchers struggle a bit with keeping track of the
borders that changed over time as far as places from which their ancestors came.
This video is a pretty good visualization and for those researching towns in the
Pale, the 19th and 20th century parts of the video are useful (You can use the
progress bar in the YouTube video to skip past earlier years). Here's the URL:

The map that Bruce recommends is wonderful. However:
The dates are out of sync with the changes on the map. The German
advance into Russia during WW I, for instance, starts around 1894! A
century-plus before, the partitions of Poland are about 15-20 years
early, and Napoleon's Grand Duchy of Warsaw is established while
Napoleon is still living in Corsica.
Fortunately, Europe east of today's Germany is very simple for the
period 1815-1914. Essentially no changes in national boundaries between
the Congress of Vienna and the outbreak of WW I, and until the end of
the war, little changed in the way of administration, vital records, etc.
