It's clearly reciprocal. Both were so busy colonizing the other that they forgot to protect the mother country.
And everyone forgot about the United Danish-Swedish-Norwegian-Swiz Empire, tat also annexed Liechtenstein
I'm probably completely missing something, but I don't see what's wrong with the map barring the independent Algeria and Tunisia and the fact that it looks like Bulgaria owns Thrace (though that could just be due to the fact that the Ottomans are the same color as Bulgaria and there's hardly any border between some of the other countries).
Found this while searching for a map of WWI. Please avert your eyes from the Russo-German border, I do not want to be held accountable for giving you a seizure.
The border between Germany and Russia for one.
Non-Spanish Balearics for another.
I meant southern Thrace, i.e. the area west of Istanbul.
Apart from what the others wrote:
South Tyrol already Italian.
Alsace-Lorraine already French.
It seems to be their way of showing borders between the various Entente-aligned countries... despite using black borders to highlight them between the Central Powers.
i mean, that's not necessarily a bad idea (various shades of yellow orange for one, various shades of pink for the other, and various blues for the neutrals) but it's more the inconsistency in how they do it that drives you crazy.
Now for a map that is differently horrible, not badly drawn but in its own way probably even more horrible than many other maps here.
(Webfound, so the actual source is unknown but one can make quite an educated guess about when that map was made)
For those not capable of the German language a brief summary:
Ancient Egypt culture an offshoot of some Germanic Megalith culture that happened to migrate there.
Ancient Sumerians an offshoot of some Danube Germanic culture that migrated there.
Eldest Chinese culture... yep, also founded by some Germanic culture that just hopped across the entire Eurasian continent
Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, heck just about everything above hunter-gatherers was at least indirectly influenced by the high and mighty Germanic culture (because if somewhere a decent culture and civilization developed it just had to be due to some superior Germanics happening to be there)

Nice map, shame about the massive levels of racism and historic revisionism. I assume it was made by Nazis or Nazi sympathisers.
Also, 3/10 - no Aryan Atlanteans.

Last I heard he was trying to get elected as MP for North Minehead
Do you know from which year this map is?
( I guess some school atlas from between 1933-1945)
from Bernhard Kumsteller's Werden und Wachsen: Ein Geschichtsatlas auf Völkischer Grundlage (Braunschweig, 1938)
according to https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/2yf8qo/baffling_nazi_school_map_claiming_all_major/ which has the same image.
