Altered Maps X: Ten Time's a Altered Map

[Winner]

Do you think the Mercator Projection would fall out of favour if Europe still dominates the world? I think not.

I think yes. It is not used now because we've generally moved to projections that better represent reality.

Accuracy and distortion were the main concerns when National Geographic adopted W-T (over Robinson, mind, not Mercator) a bit more than a decade ago.

Not exactly a map, but I found this cool diagram.

This also isn't exactly a map:

Never - Oder-Nise line
Vote CDU

Wasn't British Malaya a subset of the India Office? Man, extending the political evolution of that way back would be great and complicated.

CDU is Merkel's party, and as you can see from this... well....

I guess it's very old, probably from the early post-WW2 era, before FRG gained independence.

FRG only recognized the Oder-Nise line as the eastern border of Germany during reunification in 1990, if I remember correctly.

Looks like we're both right:

The Treaty of Warsaw was an important element of the Ostpolitik, put forward by Chancellor Brandt and supported by his ruling Social Democratic Party of Germany. In the aftermath of the 1990 Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, the Oder-Neisse line was reaffirmed without any reservation with the German-Polish Border Treaty, signed on 14 November 1990 by re-united Germany and Poland.

The map shows occupation zones, so it must be from before West Germany regained independence.

If West Germany wasn't independent, why would anybody be voting for the CDU?

There were elections in the occupied zones (the Western part, at least), at first municipal and local.

Anyway, this particular election poster is from 1945, if my sources are correct

And it's not like the main opponent of CDU saw the matter differently:

SPD 1949 ---------------------- SPD 1963

(the first one doesn't even give Poland the corridor )

 

[Tee Kay]

The 1949 one looks shopped.

The 1949 one looks shopped.

I don't think so, but I won't exclude that possibility.
