Badger of Basra posted:ahem, algerie is an integral part of france I was actually reflecting on how interesting it was that Japan was the only entirely non-European country in this map that colors in countries all over the globe. And then I realized that for some reason the European part of the Ottoman Empire apparently didn't participate.

They were six separate self-governing entities until federation in 1901

The map just has the british and french empires internal borders for colonies outlined for some reason like modern day maps will have the borders for all the US states and sometimes the canadian provinces even when its not relevant. It also doesn't count for example Cuba and the Phillipines as Spanish colonies inexplicably so it makes it even more confusing since its inconsistent with its own rules BIG FLUFFY DOG fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Mar 10, 2024 |

Here's the list of the participants: Hawaii as an independent entity with voting power was a bit surprising to me. That of course didn't last long after this. quote:In 1893, local businessmen and politicians, composed of six non-native Hawaiian Kingdom subjects, five American nationals, one British national, and one German national, all of whom were living in Hawaiʻi, overthrew the regime and took over the government.

There would be riots if we had to live in a Great Bavaria, this is supreme bullshit. That's like making a unified state from California to Texas and calling it Great Texas.

Yeah, there were 41 delegates voting on behalf of 26 sovereign entities. Hawaii is a surprise because it's probably one of the lowest-powered nations there (maybe like Liberia, Guatemala, or Santo Domingo could give it a run for its money), but that's because the focus of the conference isn't one of the many instances of the Great Powers of the 19th century making deals among themselves for the rest of the world to only listen, it's about genuinely trying to create a global standard of time, and Hawaii is especially important for that since it's so far from anywhere else on the opposite side of the world in a place where the map decided not to depict it. Including Japan was also important for similar reasons, but it would be more of a regular at Great Power meetings.

I still refuse to acknowledge the unlawful American coup of the sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii. It's not a state it's an occupied area.

German Unification is the biggest mistake in human history and tens of millions of deaths could've been avoided if Germany was still dozens of vaguely related independent states. Which is why we should break it down again just to be safe.

You know, i think you might be right. 'European' is an unnecessary qualifier there. Shout out to the Gulf Stream etc.

If having parts below the line makes the country grey, shouldn't Gibraltar and the Falklands make the UK grey?
