Also, there are only borders in the Americas.
And "Falkland Islands (UK)" is marked, but not UK itself.
oh my god you're right
Might be part of an insidious plot: can't be part of UK if there is no UK...
Anyways, have some infographics show:

Well, the USSR did have northern Iran. Not when they gave Crimea to Ukraine, but still.
Still makes a lot more sense than the utter lack of Lithuania.
That was their 'Sphere of influence', pre-Soviet & then WW2, agreed with Britain (who got the south, likewise), with [but not in WW2?] a thin &v V-shaped buffer-zone where -- supposedly -- neither would intrude.Pretty sure USSR never had Northern Iran. Just occupied it.
I unsubscribed after their format change. It became such clickbait rubbish for no apparent reason.Might be part of an insidious plot: can't be part of UK if there is no UK...

On of the usual "we just take modern borders" map. Although it is a little extra cringy that they then titled it Geography of WWI

Also they even failed at using a modern map, since Serbia and Montenegro are united here
Also, speaking of Monty, the lists of countries on each side are woefully incomplete. Ottomans especially are a glaring absence.
How did they get Germany and Poland that mixed up?Speaking of WWI maps this one is a bit weird in that it managed to get Austria-Hungary correct but then has some massive blunder on Germany (and they were a bit unsure in The Balkans™ as well)

Because it’s just a modern map with nations colored in as they are today. “Oh, here is Austria… and here is Hungary… I know there was a nation called Austria-Hungary… it must have just been these together!” It’s what happens when you believe you’re at the “end of history.”How did they get Germany and Poland that mixed up?

Also, they seem to have ignored any colonial territory (North Africa, Malta, Rhodes, Cyprus).
Speaking of colonies the following one is actually quite good (heck, they even mention themselves that the map is not to exact scale but even with that they still do a decent enough job)
They only got a minor hiccup in South Sudan/Uganda/Rwanda (and Burundi is suspiciously where Lake Victoria should have been)
But still compared to many other maps in this thread this is how a good educational map should be (and kudos to the teacher or whoever thought that up)

Iceland walks in and asks, “Room for one more?”Britain, Japan and New Zealand walk into a bar, take a look at that and decide to stay for another drink.
