Notice the Rhineland DMZ. And the western and eastern borders of Poland. It was already bad.
Ok, it looks like the Curzon line was used as the Polish-Soviet border ITTL.

The Dutch Crusade Against The Ocean culminates in the reclamation of the Zuiderzee, looks like.
*really* bad, the first thing that I noticed was mAngolia as opposed to Mongolia, then I saw the missing Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in North America, then missing Red Sea and it wasn't until I started typing this that I noticed Japan, Newfoundland, Hispanola and Puerto Rico. There are a few odd missing borders (Portugal/Spain and others) and I think the Singapore Strait is missing...
You can tell this map was made by anti-semites or militant atheists. Trying to make it seem like it was no big deal with Moses. That, or I have just discovered where they put all of those missing islands.
They have to! They also still have labeled Newfoundland...
But now for some other textbook material:
The first of the maps is correct. People just don't like to talk about the Grand Duchy of New Hampshire.
This is actually a really cool idea for a map and it's a shame they butchered it.
Biggest issues are the lack of Slovakia in 1939 and the little disconnected area in the first map.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and German Tyrol in the 1920 map are also eyebrow-raising.
Just checking. What was actually different in Austria's borders in 1920 and those today?
