I googled you last remark, and it seems it was signed by Isabel (Queen of Aragon) and Fernando (King of Castilla). Isabel and Fernando had the same power. So it was not only Castilla, Aragon took part of it.

I am aragones myself, so this point is important to me. I know Spain did not existed by then, but if you want to go to that level, you could say Castilla y Aragon.

What I meant is that Castilla is what's written on the map.

I think its pretty well done myself; maps with overlapping sections and notes from different eras are very tricky.

It's a cool idea but the implementation is garish, and there are a few glaring exceptions like the Omani Empire is missing. Mexican and Brazilian I can see leaving out since they were so short lived / similar to modern borders, respectively.

Also I see now that the Incan and Aztec Empires are indeed marked... but why did they both get tiny text and almost invisible delineations? The marker for the Incan empire is barely more visible than the delineation of Texas.

The map also makes a strange choice (to be charitable) by ignoring empires within Western Europe but not elsewhere in Europe. If you really want to commit to details like making the distinction between Spain and the Crown of Castile with regard to the Treaty of Tordesillas, at least be consistent and correct and don’t leave out Sicily, Naples, Milan, the Low Countries, Franche-Comté, etc.; or Gibraltar and Menorca; and so on.

Some of these are not like the others. Also why “of jerusalem”. Is this a medievalism where you send one guy to the crusades and from that point you can add that to your name?

Because Aragon controlled the Duchy of Athens from 1312 until 1388, having effectively inherited it from the rogue Catalan mercenary army that conquered much of southern Greece in 1311. This is part of the little-known phase of Iberian control of large parts of Greece prior to Venetian conquest in the late 14th c.

The Spanish monarchy claims the crown of Jerusalem via a rather tenuous claim by the kings of Naples dating back to the thirteenth century. Via an alternate series of claims involving the Kingdom of Cyprus, the crown of Jerusalem was also claimed by the Italian monarchy until its abolition.

The fact that the Kingdom of Jerusalem has not actually existed for seven hundred years should be considered a purely academic detail when it comes to these claims.

They should've no-CB declared on Byzantium in order to steal Constantinople out from under the noses of the Ottomans. Everybody knows that's how you kneecap the Ottos and stop them from running away with the game.

There was, but it was made part of Delaware in the 1920s.
