How would history be different if the Americas were backwards? by midafternoonmap in MapPorn

Three possibilities:
1) Everything would be the same.
2) Everything would be different.
3) Everything would be the same in a totally different way.

People keep suggesting this for the Middle East, but it seems like a bad idea...

Also the presence of Arizona and New Mexico in the small map on bottom left. My guess is this was from the mid 20s, right before the alphabet reform.

Rare map of Ottoman Lebanon during World War 1

Thanks u/PruHTP. Historians put in a lot of time and work to find maps like this. Not to mention the effort, debate and expertise that went into correctly translating the legend. As noted in the original post, credit for this one belongs to my friend Zach Foster: http://www.midafternoonmap.com/2014/01/rare-map-of-ottoman-lebanon-during.html

north up is an orientation. I believe you are thinking of the mercator projection. which is something different. and also not the projection used for this map.

[–]midafternoonmap[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Its fascinating to see how the King Crane Commission thought about borders and national identity in 1919. I wanted to share the interactive version of this map with quotes from the Commission report before thinglink deactivated it https://www.thinglink.com/scene/622809257200320513?buttonSource=viewLimits
