Here are final versions of my TL-191 Maps.
I've fixed some minor errors and uploaded them unto my DA account, so here they are, with descriptions of course.
1914
A map of the Timeline-191 world in 1914, on the eve of the First Great War (1914-1917). Even with fifty-two years of the butterfly effect, the world looks much the same, map-wise at least, to our own, outside of North America and the Pacific at least.
Therefore, this map only needed a few changes to an OTL 1914 map. Some changes are pretty obvious, as for the more obscure ones, this will explain everything. OTL's Micronesia is divided between Japan and Germany. IOTL Spain sold their Pacific island possessions to Germany after they lost the Spanish American War. ITTL they are seized by the Japanese during the Hispano-Japanese War, and they border some colonies the German's already owned, both OTL and IITL.
Samoa is a German Colony. IOTL the USA and Germany feuded over the islands during the Samoan Crisis in 1887, and later divided them between each other. IITL there was an attempt in the late 1880s to claim some of the Samoan islands for the USA. However, apathy at home and the need for funds to support the American arms growth prevented the Samoan islands from becoming an American colony. Instead, the USA supports German claims to Samoa as a show of thanks for their support after the Second Mexican War.
The British are much more powerful in the Pacific IITL, with the USA unable to colonize more islands due to their loss of and subsequent weakening after the SMW. However, the US owns some islands such as Johnston Atoll, most of which were acquired pre-POD in the 1850s.
1925
Here's a map of the Timeline 191 world in 1925. While there are still similarities to the 1925 of our world, things have really begun to change map-wise. Once again, obscure and speculative elements of the map will be explained.
After the Great War, Germany is the victor in Europe and is the continent's dominant power. Turtledove only mentioned Poland and Ukraine as German puppets, but it is most likely that other nations such the Baltic states, Belarus, and Finland exist as well. Some of these Turtledove hinted at. In regards to Finland there was some conflicting info, but it most likely became independent after TTL's Russian Civil War. There is just no good reason as to why the Russians could still hold onto it. There was mention in one of the books of a provisional government in Finland during the Second Great War, and it could have been an emergency war-time government declared during a Russian invasion.
There were oblique references to other Eastern European countries, but I assumed that Romania, Greece and Albania were neutral during the Great War. There are enough butterflies to justify it, and it makes the CP winning even more plausible. There were internal conflicts in the first two countries over who to ally with, so maybe IITL they decided to remain neutral so as "not please any one side too much", for lack of a better term. Albania and Romania were hinted at being in AH's influence, but I assumed not directly and most likely through a German led "Zollverein Economic Union." Much would be the same for the Netherlands.
In so many TL-191 maps, the Ottomans are shown getting way to much out of the war. Turtledove mentioned they won little in both wars, and this is conveyed here. The Ottomans have managed to annex Georgia and to gain Azerbaijan as a puppet state during TTL's Russian Civil War. Meanwhile in Arabia, the land of OTL's Saudi Arabia was annexed by the Ottomans after the war. In northern Arabia, the Emirate of Jabal Shammar, under the House of Rashid, is an autonomous region of the Ottoman Empire. IITL the Arab Rebellion fails, Ibn Saud is killed and the rest of Saudis executed, so Arabia is never unified under the Saudis with the Ottoman's still around.
In South America, TTL's border dispute between Colombia and Venezuela is showed as the Colombians wanting land south of the Orinoco River. Maybe they discovered valuables there or something like that, who knows? Another border dispute that Turtledove mentioned was between Venezuela and Brazil, and the river this time is the Branco River.
In China, things are different with no Soviet backed warlords. Butterflies will also assure differences between the Chinese Civil Wars of TTL and OTL.
In the Pacific, I assumed that Germany gained French Wallis and Futuna after her victory in the Great War, due its proximity to German Samoa, plus the Germans may have been a tad more powerful in the Pacific IITL.
1941
A map of the world of Timeline-191 in 1941, on the eve of the Second Great War. There are quite a number of changes from the map of 1925. Again, the obvious ones will be skipped, and the obscure ones will be explained.
In Africa, France sold some of her more minor colonies to Italy in 1926. Italian Libya also gained some land from British Egypt and Sudan like IOTL.
In South America, a few aforementioned border disputes were resolved. The border dispute between Peru and Ecuador was resolved after a slightly alternate Ecuadorian–Peruvian War in 1940. The Chaco War also occurred largely as it did IOTL, with Paraguay as the victor.
Due to butterflies, in China things are slightly different from OTL. Part of this has to do with the fact that Japan is already preoccupied with her new colonial holdings purchased from European powers, so the invasion of China goes differently. Meanwhile, an unofficial Sino-German alliance is helping China to control her continually restive land, modernize her army, invest in her troubled economy, and eventually fend of the Japanese invasion.
France was awarded Clipperton Island like IOTL. This somewhat strains relations between France and the Empire of Mexico.
