There's no justification outside referendums. Historical possession (more like a default tributary vassal accorded by the British during the Qing Dynasty) mean nothing. Germany used to own Shandong, we should give it back to them, without just cause, just because of what happened in history
This relies on a giant nationalist contingency.
