Neat! Really drives home just how recent colonialism was, doesn’t it?

Also, TIL Tripoli was a country, for some reason I thought it was a city this whole time lol. Oops. American public schools 😂😅

Side note, “Abyssinia” was a dope name

To me it’s remarkable how most of those arbitrary borders are still there today. Also how few of those “proposed” railways got built. As for the red words - seems much of the desert (as well as some rainforest) is covered in “feathers”, why were these so important? (Well I suppose tycoons still think that way - only current fashion is rare metals for phones).

protip: if you see a lot of straight borders, that territory was divided by another empire.

I bless the rains
