When viewing this, it's very important to keep in mind at all times that "The French Republic is one and indivisible".

Except for all the times it totally was, I guess.

The Sun has yet to set on what’s left of the British Empire, but only because it includes an archipelago of mutineers and child rapists in the South Pacific.

The Qing collapsed in 1912-ish. The PRC was established at 1948-ish. The 35 years in between featured both a civil war between the PRC and the ROC as well as innumerable generals, warlords, and mafia bosses who controlled slices of territory.

"On her dominions the sun never sets; before his evening rays leave the spires of Quebec, his morning beams have shone three hours on Port Jackson, and while sinking from the waters of Lake Superior, his eye opens upon the Mouth of the Ganges." ?

It was from a Scottish newspaper editorial in the 1820s.

Woah, woah. Don't think I'm condoning this sort of thing!

Copper mining in the UP started right about when the Miami and Erie canal was finished and ended up producing about 11B tons of copper over the next century, which I'm sure made certain Michiganders at the time pretty smug about their "loss".

At least when I was growing up in MI, when this was taught in Michigan History, it was specifically described as "being considered a huge defeat at first and ultimately turned out to MI's advantage eat poo poo Ohio we even win when we lose."
