Return of Horrible Educational Maps

[ElectricSheepNo54]

HOW DOES FDR EXIST IF THE POD IS IN THE WAR OF THE FUCKING ROSES!

That's althistory.wikia.com for you. A few good timelines are outweighed by so many badly written, ideologically driven, butterfly ignoring timelines. A World of Difference isn't even the worst.

 

[Iserlohn]

Not educational, and I'm sure not intentional, but there is something seriously wrong with Google Maps.

This kinda reminds me of this, mostly because both focus on Wisconsin.

 

[Woolly Mammoth]

Admittedly its a 1919 map and therefore subject to a little bit of border wibbly-ness but this one is still grim (highlights are found in Yugoslavia-Austria area)

 

[Emperor RyRy]

My favorite part is the independent Texas and Japan's flag

What's wrong with the flag?

http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Finland_Superpower

Obiously written by a Finnish nationalist, from humble beginnings in the 17th century, Finland grows to become a utopian superpower with electric cars galore. Randomly conquered and annexed Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Karelia, Kola Peninsula, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria and Italy without Sicily for some random reason. Despite a PoD in the 17th century, the timeline still contains the Soviet Union, Nazism, the moon landings in the 1960s, John Lennon and Marilyn Monroe. Despite glaring inaccuracies, Finland is somehow the world's dominant economic and military superpower, and despite having all that conquered territory whose inhabitants outnumber quite heavily actual Finnish people, has no signs of major separatist conflict.

There are probably worse timelines, but this is an example of everything wrong with althistory.wikia.com.

The new nation of Austroslovakia is certainly amusing.

Switzerlake?

 

[DracoLazarus]

Switzerlake?

I think they only highlighted EU nations (see Bosnia &cie). Mixing Ljubljana and Budapest is a bit annoying though

Making all of the blank space blue makes it look like all water though...

It's not the same shades of blue. Not exactly.

So, Austria was partitioned between Jugoslavonia and Austria-Hungary and England declared independence then annexed the rest of the UK and Ireland?

 

[Aquagel8last320]

It's the Swiss Void[tm].

 

[Sabot Cat]

Switzerlake?

Switzerland felt like they were going to be invaded by Austroslovakia, so they deployed the standard procedure of converting their entire country into an underwater base.

England declared independence then annexed the rest of the UK and Ireland?

in fairness at the time is was perfectly acceptable to refer to the UK as England.

[Chicxulub]

The North American Tectonic Collapse, caused by the North American Plate splitting into a dozen smaller ones, oddly enough the new plates were in the shapes of the U.S. states, though with vastly different sizes.

I'm assuming they've reshaped/repositioned the states so that they can fit the names inside them?
