A Map a Day Keeps... Well, Something Away.

[Bourbon Spirit]

Everyone likes maps! I do, at least, and I have a fairly large collection in my bookmarks. So, in the spirit of Taijitu civic pride I present to you this thread. Every day a new map.

Pretty detailed. The author could have followed the real borders more closely though :/

Portugal and Britain have one of the oldest alliances in effect, yet the British liked to abuse whenever they had the upper hand, the whole problem was a train route and it's adjacent territories for resource exploration.

To be fair to the Brits, if they abused the alliance "whenever they had the upper hand," that would be all the time.

Nope, "the old alliance" was done in the 1300s, Portugal was a super-power around the 1500s, England only had the "upper hand" probably around 1700s with their maritime expansions after overpassing one of their main enemies. I'd say it's tied, around 300 years of upper-hand to each party, wouldn't you say?

Great map. It's a pity that so many people tend to forget about the consequences of European greed and abuse in Africa and place blame for the continent's state where it doesn't belong.

I didn't know the Berlin Conference was a thing until I saw that map. I feel rather dumb now.
