Greece is Cthulhu then. Great map

Today is the independence day of Finland. Here is a map of the eastern borders of Sweden 1323-1809, and the borders of Finland as a Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire and as an independent nation.

Finland was a Grand Principality

I didn't know Russia was trendy, it has a nose ring.

Finland was a Grand Principality

The official term used in English for autonomus Finland was Grand Duchy, and the Russian Tsar was the Grand Duke of Finland.

If you go to the artist's webpage you can find the image here. Scroll to the right and there is a legend!

Italy wasn't neutral, and why is Albania part of Greece?

Like HR Giger for maps. Thank you.

Btw what does "clanker" mean? Urbandictionary doesnt help either...

I dont think it is depicted as being part of Greece. It is shown as a worm-like being. But still it was neutral, and here it seems to be member of the allies.

I think that the cthuloid that Greece is, is wearing a traditional greek irregular army uniform

It was in 1914, and you can barely see the pale-yellow/white line between Greece and Albania.

This map appears to be from November/December 1914. After the Allies declared war on the Ottomans.
Italy didn't join until 1915, when it declared war on its allies from a year earlier (which is what the snakes are all about).

And isn't Abania that maggot like thing?

Serbia is the best part of the picture.

 

[Kyriakos]

It is really a fantastic map.

 

[warpus]

It is a great map.

I just wish the n00bs would stop quoting it.
