The best way to know the date of a map is to check if Portugal exists: If it does you can imeddiately narrow it down to between 1143 and the present day. And if it has the modern borders you know imeddiately that the map was made after 1250

Not a map or an atlas, but I once found my grandfather's old elementary school history book. It was quite interesting in that it contained an entire chapter on WWII. But because the book was written in 1943 it had to end on a cliffhanger...

That last Atlas is a treat for all geography enthusiasts! It’s a veritable encyclopedia of the world as seen from the Western perspective at the turn of the last century and was probably quite expensive.

Awesome and super interesting analysis, enjoyed every second of it! One thing to add is also the fact that it matters who drew the map. Countries dont always agree on international borders/changes and might draw two different maps at the same time.
One time my mother brought a globe map from my grandparents house, but they didn't even think anything of it, so I always passed by it and noticed weird things but didn't really stop to thoroughly inspect it until one day I did and noticed more weird stuff like it had Yugoslavia, West Germany, East Germany, Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, only one Sudan and a bunch of other stuff that was completely out of date, by what I saw it was probably a map from the 80s which is pretty cool.

Bordering the country of "Car".
Man All those maps are more or close to hundred years old
I have a map hanged in my room that says it was made in 1920, and I guess that's about right, but only for it's borders. The map had probably the first edition printed in 1920, but they kept on making new edits to name changes on the map, and while making those new edits they seemed to have no intention with messing with the borders again with each new update. The cherry on the cake is Ireland, because after it became independent I guess that they just said "Fuck it, I'm not doing this again" and changed the name of the British Empire to British Isles. So basecaly Britain doesn't exist in my map.
I love this, I’ve been doing this with every globe I see and im glad to see other people enjoy doing this
11:30 Switzerland is pretty much the same as now. The only thing is, that Jura was still a part of Bern on this map. Now is it independent.
Great Video! Old maps are very interesting, please make more of this!!
Why don’t you have at least 1mil?! You are one of my favourite channels and your content always gives! Keep it up!!! :D
Great video! For the atlas, it shows the New Territories north of Kowloon as part of Hong Kong, which were ceded on a 99 year lease in 1898 (precipitating the 1997 handover).
That Atlas is super cool. I can picture myself just sitting and staring at it for days
This was a super intresting video! Thank you so much! :D
The problem with older maps I think is that it took so much time to make them. There's a map of my town that was surveyed in 1846-1847 and released in 1849. Chances are it was out of date before it was even released.
Love your videos. Thanks!
This was a great video! Please do more similar stuff! :D
10:55 Ha... Don't knock Prince Henri of Orléans too much, please! One did not simply walk into Tibet in the 1890s and the locals did not actually know the source of the Irrawaddy at the time so he technically did "discover" how the geography pieced together. Salomon Andrée was not so lucky, but it took 33 years to find out what had happened...
This is funny since my grandma has the same map and always when I visit her I always see the map and, I always wondered what exactly year that was made and, then this video came out.
Loved the video! It keeps getting better!

There was a world atlas in my elementary school that was made during the early 1990s, and there were two copies that were different versions/printings. Stuff that the older version had that was left out of the newer version (that I remember) included Bonn as the capital of Germany, spelling Belarus as "Byelorussia", and a cliffhanger on the official borders of the former Yugoslavia (I even remember a white space being put over Bosnia and Croatia, with the SR borders being used as placeholders) .

The most recent world atlas that I own is from 1986 (reprinted 1988), so still has the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, East Germany etc. I also have the Bloomsbury Pocket Encyclopaedia of the World, 1991 printing. This is interesting because it has the information about Germany still split into West and East, but the East section is headed “Germany, Federal Republic of (former German Democratic Republic)” and there is a note “Since 3 October 1990 part of Federal republic of Germany”. There is also an entry for “Germany, Federal Republic of (former West-Berlin)”, with a similar note to the one given for East Germany. I remember being at a meeting in Frankfurt in late 1989, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the topic of the possibility of German reunification came up over lunch. The opinion of educated people was that it would never happen. Of course, less than a year later, it did happen.
