The Hitlercaust is worse than itself?

 

[Joecoolyo]

Yeah, it warps all time and space, allowing it to be in fact, worse, than itself.

I don't understand that map. Is the big deal just that it makes no sense from both geographical and historical standpoints? What is it from?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

I found it on the History channel and shared it with you guys, its an abomination. It represents nothing.

I knew the history channel was bad, but not, that bad.

There is also an issue with a Libyan city flashing up in Romania.....

If you need to be disengeuous to make fun of that map, don't even bother trying.

Wait, weren't the aliens enough?

It is a big deal if it is trying to represent geographic and historical facts, which it seems that it is trying/failing to do.

Why is Rhineland listed as a country but not Luxembourg?

 

[say1988]

Because Luxembourg is small and irrelevant, and has a big name that covers a lot of the map. No offense to any Luxembourgers, but it didn't have the size to do anything of significance on its own. Note that several other countries also aren't labelled.

The Rhineland would presumably be important when it was showing earlier events as this appears to be a screen capture of an interactive timeline and probably include the remilitarization of the Rhineland (the marker in 1936).

Basically it comes down to, the Rhinland is more significant to the map than Luxembourg. Though, if making the map I would make the label for the Rhineland distinct from countries, that is the least of the map's problems.

The strangest thing about the map to me is that it is apparently based on a late 1990 or 1991 map (unified Germany with modern borders, but still an USSR, the baltics could indicate late 1991 or more likely refusal to recognize their annexation by the USSR). I could see a modern map or a contemporary map, but why that period?

Then what the map is supposed to be showing I have no idea. I would guess countries occupied by Germany at some point in time, but is grossly wrong.

I like how the mormon state is represented in those graphs.

Something about the Plains is unhealthy for husbands.

And the Black Belt strikes again.

Here's a map I just made from recently published data by Barcelona's mayor's office.

Why does the Port District not fit in with any of the others?

Why does the Port District not fit in with any of the others?

O_O

Mainly because it's a port and there're only ships, containers, roads and warehouses, you know?
