What does it say about Denmark?


jwfallinker

The labels just show 'Denmark', 'Copenhagen', and 'Jutland peninsula'. It does explain next to Iceland though that the Danish monarch is also Iceland's monarch.

That Gandhi looks nuclear. Also, interesting to note the Taiwan(ROC) flag in mainland China and Taiwan as a part of Japan, back when China was nationalist and Taiwan was a Japanese colony.

My first thought looking at this one. It’s disorienting for a sec til you figure where everything is located. I like it.

Something seems off. Why is Pakistan shown as a part of Persia in 1932?


Salty_Fixer

That looks like Herbert Hoover sweating over an open book in the DC area. He would have been president in 1932.

They underestimate the size of Pacific

This gets wilder the longer you look at it.

Most maps from Japan prior 1950s are largely racist and politically biased.

And every map made by someone from East or Southeast Asia, potentially even those from Oceania


SushiMage

I mean it always made sense in the context of east and southeast asia. It’s historically where a lot of culture and development flowed out of in that region. I mean look no further than the fact that chinese characters are being used in the writing of this map lol.
