Anyone here have a Map Of The World in 1939?

[Propaganda]

Thanks, in advance.

Didn't the map of the world used to be the same 63 years ago?
At least last time i checked it was. Maybe Europe moved away from South America 10-15 centimeters.

Do you know what?! I actually DO have a World Map from 1939. Well... 1938 to be exact. I couldn't find a 1939 map, so I figured I'd show you a 1938 map instead, since it's close enough. This one here is low resolution but I can e-mail anyone a larger, higher resolution scan of it instead, if one desires. Map is a © of C. S. Hammond & Co., 1960. Yeah, it's my dads old historical atlas etc.

leonel, thanks for your reply.

As I can't really see what's happening in that low-resolution map, would you kindly send me the larger map?

My e-mail is redpropaganda@hotmail.com

Thanks, again.

I actually wanted a map detailing the different boundaries and influences of that time.

And last time I CHECKED, the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore, and Israel is an established state.

But, thanks for your sarcastic reply, anyway. I appreciate it.

Propaganda, I think he misunderstood what kind of map you wanted. He probably thought you wanted a Civ 3 map of the world in 1939, not a political one.

Of course, I could be wrong,

Come on Trip, it was quite sarcastic and Erocco beat me to the sarcasm. Ughh!! Everyone knew what he meant, but what he meant and what he asked for were 2 different things. Details, details, details.

 

[Jon Shafer]

That's what I get for browsing the forums at 2am.

That is why I put a smily in every line.

 

[Propaganda]

leonel, could you please forward me the larger map? Thanks.

As for details, I would have thought people here were intelligent enough to decipher what I meant. Guess some people are slow, or just don't have the ability to read between the lines. Oh well..

 

[Leonel]

Alright! I'll scan the map tomorrow 'cause it's almost 11 PM here.

 

[Leonel]

Yer e-mail didn't work, Propraganda, so I just put it up here. Enjoy.

It's got maps with demographic information, etc. Really neat stuff.

I have a huge German atlas dated at about 1937 with swastikas, autobahns and the whole bit. Pity I can't exactly mail it to you...

But that gives me an idea. Since I plan to begin work on transferring my WWI atlas shortly, we could develop a "historically accurate maps for scenarios" group to trade best practices and save modders some work. The trouble is, I'd need to improve my abilities with all the other crap - e.g. picking the right civs, modding them, leaders etc. first before I could do much in that regard.

Oooo! A real pre-war, post-Hitler German atlas?! I'd love to see one of those! All I got is a 1960 atlas that still shows Canada as a British dominion.

Why couldn't you just post the maps here, before we had the possibility of scenarios that's what everyone did.

 

[Frog Propaganda]

Great thread. I'm sure some of the maps/links here will be a help to prospective scenario-makers. If anyone else has any good historical maps, share them here!

P.S. on 1938, german didnot have the little part of the czech republic.

 

[Richard III]

Well, on request, I will try to deal with the 1939 map after I'm finished with 1900 (the likely start date for the WWI sce).

But as for posting it now, I don't think you get it: this is a BIG Atlas, chock-full of German the way the Germans write it with tiny German fonts and everything. I will try and scan it soon so others can have a crack, but it will have to be done in sections...

But I will give it a try.

Hello all.

I'm currently at work on a 1938 map, based on the same map leonel posted. Without writing an essay, summarizing my current progress, I'll give you the .BIC file, and you can look for yourself.

If you have any suggestions, please post them here.

I could use all the help I can get.

(BTW, I'm mainly looking for circa 1938 suggestions. I need to know what countries were affiliated with whom, at that exact year. So, if you can help, please do so. Thanks.)

P.S. Thanks to mdelprete for starting me off.

Affiliated as in colonies of? Or allies of ?
