Somehow I find it difficult to believe that the British Empire did not at least once shed blood in the act of claiming what turned out to be a ketchup stain.

Until fairly recently ketchup didn't have much to do with tomatoes.

Quorum posted:Syria, in this case, although the name outlasted the actual union (which died... about when this map was made, I think?) Expecting Egypt–Syria to remain as a stable entity through A.D. 2000 is even more delusional than expecting a larger pan‐Arab union though.

Blut posted:The American tourist who decides to follow the state department's advice and goes on holiday to Angola instead of Denmark is probably going to be surprised. Most of those European advisories are literally “watch out, there could be a terrorist attack!” and sometimes an additional “there could be strikes!” Also I don’t think Monaco even gets its own, it just gets the French advisory.

Looks like it must be between 1838-1845, based on Texas? Can anyone read what it says for Tierra del Fuego and Antarctica? To the left of Patagonia it says Magellan Strait, and above it it says Patagonia. Tierra del Fuego looks like... Asalka? And Antarctica something like... Rafqirbaland? Most of the rest of the labels seem to be for major cities (e.g. Rio de Janeiro, New York, Boston) or notable landmarks (Galapagos). I can't read what's going on in Chile at all, but it's interesting that it (a) doesn't name any countries and (b) doesn't note the location of any of the cities, even the labeled ones. Rio Grande does not seem to be "Rio Grande" and also doesn't seem to be "Large River" translated into Turkish. I can't figure out what else that's supposed to be since it's not like any cities existed there at the time. Saladman fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Sep 3, 2023 |

the name is Rio Bravo in mexico so could be that. also in Victoria 1, Patagonia is unclaimed and up for colonization so maybe the new country of Argentina hadn't absorbed it yet

Maybe whoever drew the map just had a weird thing for the region? Or maybe it's from like the monthlong 1927 Fredonian Rebellion. I don't really know what's going on with the rest of South America.

i say swears online posted:the name is Rio Bravo in mexico so could be that. also in Victoria 1, Patagonia is unclaimed and up for colonization so maybe the new country of Argentina hadn't absorbed it yet Argentina invaded and colonized Patagonia in the late 1880s - so at least 40 years after this map was made. I found a much higher res copy of it where the text is more legibile:  It looks like "Nehir" is Turkish for River, so in that copy you can clearly read like "Nehir Mississippi". The Rio Grande is like Nehir ... Barawad (h?)anuria? Then the river to the west of it is Nehir Quarauradu? So Colorado. Still can't figure out Rio Grande/Rio Bravo.

Just do not let Mel Gibson anywhere near it, because you know he'll show up drunk and pulling his eyelids while doing an offensive accent.

this one seems weird since the snapshot is from the day after the invasion, and it's very conspicuously routed around turkmenistan and uzbekistan the red hook around the destination is pretty interesting too

British Airways doesn’t fly to central Asia at all, so it might be easier to stick to the established Kazakhstan flight plan than to establish ties to countries whose ATC they have previously not communicated with

"A Land for the Jews" proposed by an American Jew around 1938. Some of these places would be decent to live while others would be unbearable. As you can see, the author opposed the Zionist program of building a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Herzl's Uganda proposal overlaps a little with territory 8. Territory 1 expands on the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, which was established in 1934 but never attracted much migration. According to some blog, not much is known about the author, Joseph Otmar Hefter. This pamphlet is supposed to be from 1938 and as you can see, he opposed Zionist efforts to build a Jewish state in Palestine. "Only the broadest outlines of Joseph Otmar Hefter’s life can be described with any certainty. He was born at the end of the nineteenth century in Austro-Hungary, emigrated to the U.S. and spent the last decades of his life in Mexico, working as a graphic designer. A documentary about Hefter, titled Faktories und Felder and produced for the aforementioned 2011 Israeli exhibition, eventually had to change course and turn into a speculative biography, for lack of hard evidence."
