Could I have a map of Europe and the world by 1873 or 1874, please?

sigh... what was supposed to be a AH map somehow turned into a OTL map of Europe in the interwar period..

Would you by any chance have one of 1914?

well... funny thing is... this map at one point had the borders of 1914 Europe

so yea, I have a older version..

note that the borders for the German Empire may be a bit off..

Do you happen to have one in that style that covers the whole world in 1914?

EDIT: punctuation is our friend.

Nah, it would be easier and less time consuming to just create a vector map out of a existing World Map.

take old map of world in 1914, use Gimp or Photoshop and create a new layer, use vector tools to make outline of continents, nations, rivers, mountains, what you desire in the map, PROFIT!

@DarkSlavik,
If you want I can fix the borders for the German Empire for you.

go ahead, I pretty much free handed the map w/ German Empire. For the map with Weimer Germany, it is a bit more accurate, I sized a map of the nation in Mercator projection to the scale I needed and traced the lines appropriately.

Kewl, man. The free handed rendition of the German Empire is not bad, its just that eastern Prussia just sticks out a little too far into the Russian Empire, but I will fix that, and repost the map.

If I can make a suggestion, another good addition to that DarkSlavik map would be adding dots for major cities, e.g. capitals (not the full names, just the dots). I find that's very useful when working out war fronts and borders rather than trying to juggle it based on rivers and prewar borders - we don't all have Qazaq's leet Rain Man type map skillzors

Q.

Here's that map I PMed you about:

Still not finished of course - need to do western europe but I found some basic info on Yugoslavia at the time (no maps though dammit!)

Qazaq2007 · #**2333** February 13th, 2009, 07:47 AM

@Chris S,
Great map, so far.

@DarkSlavik,
Here's the fixed version of your 1914 Europe map. I have fixed up the borders for the German Empire, and Austria-Hungary, as well as a few minor fixes elsewhere.

Bump, as some say.

A map that I spent altogether too much time and effort on.

Nearly every major fort, post, mission, etc. in the Pacific Northwest during the pre-Civil War period. The dates are (generally) of the first usage of the facility.

It was very fun, and I hope someone has some use for it, be it for a budding timeline, a history commentary, or for general knowledge- so long as I did not work in vain, I feel grand.

(I actually haven't changed this map in several months; I merely haven't bothered to post it.)
