File:World empires and colonies around World War I.png

Summary

Description
English:
  • Taken from old colonialism wikipedia map and outlined.
  • Dated around 1900 (shows Italian - although the flag is not correct - North Africa post 1910 and Austro-Hungarian Empire circa WW1). British territories of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa would later become dominions.
  • Nations involved with imperialism, directly or indirectly, are coloured. Meant to portray the world around the time of WWI.
  • In case anyone wonders, the red flag with the yellow crescent and star is the Rashidi house and their allies. Below them are the Saudis and their allies.
  • Grey countries may be smaller empires ( Nepal and Bhutan) or have extended their geopolitical boundaries over unsettled/inhabitated areas (i.e. Latin America such as Chile acquired Easter Island and the Antarctic Peninsula).
