Everything on Poland is pro-catholic, pro-nationalist when it comes to world war 2 and pro-Solidarność.

You sure this is a good resource?

Not really sure how good of a resource it is overall, just thought it was a neat approach to visualizing history.

Understandable

This map just sucks, incredibly biased towards Western "libertarian" sensibilities

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Definitely agree that there is a lib bias there, I do like the idea of visualizing history like that though. We should start our own. :)

Brazil doesn't have any workers, we're all just very urban peasants. Very weird map. Turkey is somehow worse despite having such a long and well studied history.

Edit: Oh god the Native Lands layer in Brazil is actually horrible. Apparently nobody lived in all those lands with native names.

yeah that map definitely needs some work in a lot of areas, but I do like the concept of the project

Me too, tbh, but it's a bit of a "Great Taste;Awful Execution" right now. I think a better approach would be to do one for each country first, and actually bothering to invite historians from those countries, and then if possible joining those together. I've been reading Galeano's "Las Venas Abiertas de América Latina" lately and it would be cool to do timelines and maps of the events listed in broad histories like that one in easily digestible form.

Edit: For some reason I also forgot to look at the USSR region there, and it along with China just being that sparse is a really bad look for the map makers too.

yeah completely agree
