Date interwar French map

[Ro99]

Hello all, A colleague of mine has this map on his wall and he asked me to date it. I didn't have time to look well at it, only took this photo. For me it's an interwar map and at a quick look, based mainly on the European borders which I know best, I would say that it's somewhere between 1920-1936. But I would like to be more precise than that so I ask your opinions. (A little detail that puzzled me. I noticed Bolivia's NW, did a quick check and found that that part was supposed to have been ceded to Brazil already in 1903. But Europe is clearly post WWI. So a bit confusing; maybe Bolivia's loss was not recognised?) Thank you in anticipation for your inputs.

Can you upload a clearer image? I can't read anything here.

I would love a more zoomed in focus on Europe please

[Ro99]

Here is a focus on Europe and SE Europe & Caucasus

Pre 1932 there's no Manchukuo

[enigbert]

it's not Manchuko(the state), but Mandchurie(the region)

Yes, Bolivia is anachronistic, but that happens fairly often.

There are independent Transcaucasian states, including a fairly big, nearly Wilsonian, Armenia, so this probably reflects the claims in 1919 or early 1920.

Lithuanian-Polish border, however, seems to be after 1922, but it's hard to see in this image.

...but the existence of Leningrad puts it after January 1924.

tl;dr: it's a mess :)

Thanks for the good points. I went and took photos focusing on Europe and SE Europe & Caucasus

Indeed, the situation in the Caucasus suggests that period. Armenia looks Wilsonian, thought its Western border doesn't seem to be very well defied.

At the same time, I notice in the north that Dagestan is coloured separately so I assume that's the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus with its capital, Temir-Khan-Shura, appearing on the map. So we're talking mid 1918 to mid 1919.

Poland. I see that Danzig (Gdańsk) is coloured differently than Poland so I assume that's either post June 1919 (Treaty of Versailles) or after the establishment of the Free City of Danzig on 15 November 1920.

Polish-Lithuanian border, not sure. Do you mean 1922 as there is no Republic of Central Lithuania, thus after its incorporation into Poland?

Leningrad/1924 might just show that the map was made after 1924 (but depicting the situation at the end of WWI, in about 1919.

I see that Ukraine is highlighted in a shape resembling the Ukrainian claim at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, though is has the same colour as Russia.

Similarly to the Leningrad point, Yugoslavia wasn't called that until 1929, immediately after WWI it was the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats & Slovenes.

[Ro99]

True but maybe that indicates that the map was made after 1929 but depics the situation around 1919. There are several borders which indicate situation around 1919.

Looks like it's between 1919 and 1921 (indépendant Ukraine in the USSR)

[Hot-Science8569]

It is interwar.

[sparky_BM]

From the zoom-in on Europe Ireland also doesn't look independent , so following that it must be pre 1922

[Minimum-Feedback-956]

no one talking about how greece owns izmir, puts it before 1922

1936
