Altered Maps X: Ten Time's a Altered Map

Netherlands - only sane people on the map

probably because the map is Dutch
the text below says: 'The Madhouse (new song, old tune)'

The look on Gibraltar's face is priceless.

we're a piece of paper

No, you are Austria-Hungary's boot.

 

[Mango Elephant]

No, you are Austria-Hungary's boot.

Ohhh, that's true.

 

[Tee Kay]

I see a piece of paper (and it'd actually be funnier if it was)

 

[choxorn]

I'm pretty sure that's a boot and Serbia and Montenegro are pulling it off.

Is that Switzerland at arms?

 

[Civ'ed]

what, you never heard about the conscription?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

I know but the Swiss, such a peaceful and prosperous people, the polar opposite of us South Slavs.

The Bosnia map is totally wrong.

 

[Civ'ed]

It took me a while to find the muslims on the map tbh.

You mean the Mohammedans?

The Austrians did there part in messing up Bosnia, before the occupation and annexation there were more Muslims than after, because most Muslims fled to Turkey were there still is a Bosnian minority, if the population hadn't fled, we would have made 70% of the population.

Riiiight, and if there was no WW2, Poland would have 70 million inhabitans (or whatever the number was that Kaczynski claimed)...

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Official Austro-Hungarian records show that 56,000 people, mostly Bosniaks, emigrated between 1883 and 1920, but the number of Bosniak emigrants is probably much larger, as the official record does not reflect emigration before 1883, nor include those who left without permits.

not the best source, but I was to lazy to scan and translate a book

Many Muslims migrated to the Ottoman Empire after the Austrian occupation and many died in the 1875 revolt. The Austrian census in 1879 recorded 449,000 Muslims and 496,485 Serbians in Bosnia. The losses were 245,000 Muslims and 37,500 Serbians.

And that's supposed to invalidate the map... how, exactly?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Its not but cities like Bihać (and the surrounding area) we're from the 1500 completely populated by Muslims, even the area where I live is by that map populated by Serbs, but my town is mentioned in 1528. with a muslim population, as well as the fact that the Croats should be in mid-western Bosnia, as well as the fact that the population was 50-50, but we have a small amount of land, and only marked in some major cities. Another huge indicator is that Tuzla isn't marked, even though it was a Turkish built city, huge city that exported salt, Muslim population but still marked as Serbian.

It's a religion map, we don't know what year it's from, and I doubt it was meant to be "sharply" accurate. No need to get worked up over it.
