Note on the first map: im not sure on its accuracy. i've only found it discussed on this forum site (link below) where most people seem to be ridiculing it https://www.nairaland.com/6796018/breaking-leaked-map-ijaw-republic

I am going to eventually use these to make early Kongo Patches.

I'm pretty sure that some of it is wrong.

A lot of it does look questionable, like the modern border for Spanish Guinea, and whatever the hell is happening with Yemen and Ethiopia

The angular borders and total lack of lakes is also really throwing me off

Lake Victoria is a big thing not to show.

"Cumulatively referred to as Kuba, the people in fact comprise unique independent chieftains. Though culturally and linguistically similar, each is an entity to itself. Joseph Cornets tribal map (above) was published in Art Royal Kuba - page 15. It details political groupings aligned to the Bushoong."

A Source List for the Horn of Africa
Hello! This is the source list for the Horn of Africa that I have collected for Eu4’s timeframe (and a little beyond) =D. Some sources are heavily used while others are more used for little bits of info. I’ll first go through hard copies of books and then go through online sources. Finally, there...
  • massive
  • many texts
  • (the lengths people go for eu4 holy shit)
Before I dump this timeline for Ethiopian here, I have to say they got the placement of the early Funj Kingdom wrong. What was where they put the Early Funj Kingdom was Fazughli which was a part of Alodia that gained independence when the Funj conquered the rest of Alodia and lasted c. 1500–1685.

Longrigg’s map of proposed partitioning of Eritrea with (1) North going to Sudan; (2) the southeastern “Dankali coast with Assab (useless to Eritrea, invaluable to Ethiopia) should be handed without restriction to the Emperor” and (3) the central region (shaded dark) that he infamously called “Greater Tigrai” to be “administered, at least for a considerable term of years, on the Emperor’s behalf and authority, by a European Power in alliance with him”
