Altered Maps X: Ten Time's a Altered Map

[Mathalamus]

Well...

they did the best job that they could under the circumstances. Persia just got the short straw.

 

[Dachs]

It's not as though the rulers of any of those other states wouldn't have done the exact same thing if they'd gotten sufficiently lucky.

It's just that in the case of Islam, there is a good reason to call it "militant".

 

[Dachs]

It's violent territorial expansion, of course it was militant. Again: you think the Merovingian kings, the Lombards, the Byzantines, or the Sasanian shahs wouldn't have "militantly" expanded their territory if they had a fair chance at it?

And an altered map thread devolves into a debate about Islam.

I did add a new map...

 

[hoplitejoe]

The evil militaristic Christians.

The evil militaristic Buddhists

The evil militaristic Taoists

 

[Dachs]

Ew, that Qing map is grotesque. Whatever happened to the rest of Dongbei? The Korean suzerainty? The rule over Taiwan and Hainan? Tuva? aaargh

map was clearly created by Russian imperialists

 

[hoplitejoe]

I was being quick, it was to prove a point rather than to show a map.

 

[Kyriakos]

Although it seems the map has something to do with the Oslo bombings, and the theory of their mastermind. But i did not want to post the usual Sevres map...

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Why don't Bosnia and Albania get countries? And why is Armenia larger than Turkey? That is a really terrible map.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

@ HJ, you forgot the militant Confucianists.

 

[W|M]

What the hell are Assyria doing in Lebanon and the Coptics doing in Sinai?

 

[Joecoolyo]

The evil militaristic Buddhists

wat

The hell is this blasphemy?

According to the link on the map:

All Muslims will be deported to central Anatolia। Western Anatolia will be reunified with Greece once again. The territorial claims involves territory in Northern Epirus, Thrace (including Constantinople and ofc Agia Sophia), the islands of Imbros (Gφkηeada) and Tenedos (Bozcaada), and parts of western Anatolia around the city of Smyrna to name a few areas. These areas (and many more) contained sizable ethnic Greek populations.

See map of Christian European claims presented by Mr. Eleftherios Venizelos at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. It’s worth noting that the western Allies, particularly British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, had promised Greece territorial gains at the expense of the Ottoman Empire if Greece entered the war on the Allied side (which it did).

Even the Treaty of Sevres which was signed by the Ottoman officials, in 1920, acknowledges partial Greek territorial demands in Anatolia.

That map is wrong, god forbid such a map.

 

[Tee Kay]

didn't they ally with the odd Muslim state from time to time?

That's the least of it. Orhan Gazi and John V Palaeologus were brother-in-laws.

wat

The hell is this blasphemy?

Right. They were radical Tengriists.

Also, India is just wrong on that map.

 

[Dumanios]

Armenia should like a bit more like this.

Spoiler :

Dear god, that last map is from a website about China Towns (chinatownconnection.com)

didn't they ally with the odd Muslim state from time to time?

And this, of course. Note the Byzantium-Trebizond-White Sheep.

(PS: Of what accuracy is the Charlemagne-Mughal linkage?)

I was more offended at the lolIndia than I was at the Buddhism comment
