At least they got North Yemen in exchange, I guess?
I think that's meant to be Djibouti?
Why are all the Central Asian 'stans marked as independent states in 1975?
And Lawd that map projection
>Imply anything is a fair trade when Yemen is one half of the equation s_s
Don't think it was made as educational but I don't know where else to put this one

No worries, if you need educational maps then have the next one from reddit:
What makes it even worse is that the redditor who posted it said that it was from a schoolbook of the early 2000s and supposed to show the current world. Although mind you, with those borders that map can't really be pinpointed to any specific date.
Super Peru, Space Filling West Africa, even bigger USSR, separate Papua and New Guinea, independent British Cameroons, big Oman, and strange Ethiopian borders...
It's clearly from before the Finland-USSR Winter War of 1940, as Finland still has a northern coast.
No, wait, it's clearly from after 1949/1953, since there's both West and East Germany and both North and South Korea.
No, wait, it's clearly from before 1922, as there's no internal Irish border.
No, wait, uhh, help, ... no, I give up.
And where's Cyprus?
With the exception of the line dividing China from the USSR in Western China and the Southern border of Ethiopia reaching the sea, I think every border on there was used at some point in the 20th century. Just lots of other missing borders.
It is obviously during the part of the 20th century when Canada controlled all of the shore of Lake Ontario.
Well, it seems things have gone south in Northern Ireland.Don't think it was made as educational but I don't know where else to put this one
Sweet, now I've finally got a reason to share this one:
It's an anglicized map of Japan. All the names are the same, just, well, anglicized.
