Map for a patch on Ottokar's Bohemian "Empire". If you don't know who he is, he's the guy that ruled generally all of Austria except for the Prince-Bishoprics, Bishoprics, Imperial Cities, and Tyrol for the first time. If he succeeded in becoming Holy Roman Emperor, the Hapsburgs would never come to power in the way they did.
He was an interesting guy. As was his son.
 
I suggest you watch "History of the World: Every Year" by Ollie Bye for inspirations.
I’d urge everyone to take his maps (and a lot of maps on YouTube) with a massive grain of salt depending on the topic. I’ve found that his maps (and many other channels maps) on Central Asia, India, Africa and Southeast Asia to be incredibly dubious. The borders they draw are far too precise, and I can’t find many sources that back up a lot of the borders, and oftentimes can’t find sources that verify the existence of some of the countries they have on the maps. Most stuff on Europe and the Americas is good quality, though.

Hello everyone ! I am a new member

I would like to know if someone could create a map of World War II in 1941 (during the Battle of Moscow) : here is a map of Eastern Front.
Thank you

October 28, 1922: Mussolini's March on Rome

Looks great! I like the representation of the situation in Italy and the Italian holdings in Libya, and nice catch with the Yakut Revolt - that's pretty easy to miss. (EDIT: Had a criticism about the representations of Byelorossiya, Ukraina, and Zakavkaz as independent autonomies but it seems I had the date of the founding of the USSR misplaced - this takes place a few months prior!)

LSCatilina made a list which I really liked and I want to go back to that so that we can reference it. I added in a few more dates and some links to maps of these dates, from both new and updated historical maps, older ones as well, and WIP maps (That I could find, I missed a lot). This is mostly just to remake the list

This is super useful thanks, it should be in the first post of the map index
 
Does anyone have a QBAM patch for the Confederation of the Rhine in 1808? I can't find the borders for the northern german states that later would be annexed by France anywhere.
