I think it'd be a good addition, showing all those conflicting claimsAnybody else think it wouldn't hurt to show territories with overlapping claims as striped?

Added Brazil and Argentina. Some of the Nazis' long-term goals included the political penetration and support of the Integralists in Brazil and far-right nationalists in Argentina, both countries which also have notable German populations.
I like how Liberia is just sort of there. Untouched. You'd think that all the racists shuffling borders around in Africa as they please might have something to say about them, but apparently none of the fascists cared enough to ever bother making plans for them.
"1940s fascists were more busy fighting each other than hating Africans. Sure, they hated them and thought they were inferior, but white supremacy, as in including all whites, is more of a modern thing.
speaking as a white guy who's mostly Germanic but identifies as Italian and is also partly Slavic, that's almost certainly because the definition of "white" is so loose and has changed so much across history as to basically be meaningless--remember, little more than a century ago the Help Wanted signs were typically appended with "No Blacks or Irish" despite the latter being "undeniably" white today and plenty of people descended from the discriminated-against Irish doing the exact same things done to their ancestors (lookin' at you, O'Reilly, you racist piece of fucking garbage)Yeah, and back then their hatred extend to other, "inferior" whites, like Slavs.
I would've done the same for Japanese Siberia, but I left it because it didn't seem as obvious as the others (maybe they were left for a rump Soviet Union or something).
I would assume than in this ASB scenario of total Axis Victory he would get the South Atlantic Islands and Antartica. (Though there would be competing Chilean claims in the later).
Did Argentina have an official claim on those islands in the 30s/40s?
Yeah, I considered unifying the interior borders and different country shades, but I figured I'd leave it in case I messed something up.Also since there's multiple different colouring methods being used, and since we're almost done with the map, some kind of key would be useful.
Someone should add that stuff we learned about the plan to give land back to the native americans
I honestly have no idea what's going on there. I assume the Japanese just forgot to include it in their plans, but they're pretty big islands so that doesn't quite seem right.

Madagascar would be this world's largest concentration camp.Well the dark grey of crimea, burgundy and madgascar are the horror shows of SS run territories....
you say that like the Nazis wouldn't take the Holocaust to its logical conclusion....Madagascar would be this world's largest concentration camp.

Why kill all that workforce eh?
Anyways, their initial plans were to just move them from Europe, the Madagascar plan being one of them (damn, they really wanted to give the Jews all that land though? Makes little sense tbh, too nice of them)
The logistics either way are absolutely ludicrous. But the Nazis and logistics weren't such good friends, which cost them their territorial aggrandizement
According to this article: https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-onli...th_African_and_Portuguese_Colonial_Objectives there were several plans involving swapping Portuguese colonial territory to Belgium & South Africa in exchange for part of German East Africa. Anyone know how specific the proposed land swaps were?
Probably something along the lines of the maps on the first page in the first post. I remember reading once that Smuts had pushed the idea of swapping German East Africa for most or all of Portuguese East Africa (which would be put under South African control).
After WWII a conference was held in San Francisco that contemplated a Kurdistan from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. The notion was quickly abandoned but not by everyone. Some Kurdish people still envision a huge Greater Kurdistan like the one outlined on the map above.
Maybe this belongs in the Shitty Educational Maps Thread.
