History, maps and geopolitics: Central Europe at the beginning of the XXth century (from Josef Partsch, Mitteleuropa. Die Länder und Völker von den Westalpen und dem Balkan bis an den Kanal und das Kurische Haff, Gotha, Julius Perthes, 1904) The countries and peoples from the Western Alps and the Balkans to the (English) Channel and the Curonian Lagoon (East Prussia) as a geopolitical realm (a German view). Fun fact: Eastern Rumelia, an autonomous province of the Ottoman Empire, created by the Treaty of Berlin in 1878, was viewed as a part of the Mitteleuropa, but not Poland, a Russian territory at the beginning of the XXth century. #history #geography #geopolitics #map #CentralEurope #Mitteleuropa #Germany #Austria #Belgium #Netherlands #Switzerland #Austria #Hungary #Romania #Serbia #Bulgaria #Bosnia #Montenegro #Balkan #France #Italy #UK #Britain #Turkey #Russia

History, homelands and maps sine ira et studio: Palestine as “a indivisible territorial unit” - An Arab nationalistic view (according to the PLO Charter, 1968) In July 1968, the Palestine Liberation Organization adopted a revised National Charter that transformed the Palestinian question into a clearly defined territorial claim over all of Mandatory Palestine. The Charter’s opening articles declared Palestine to be the homeland of the Arab Palestinian people and affirmed that the territory, within the boundaries it had under the British Mandate, constituted an indivisible territorial unit. This formulation rejected earlier ambiguities about borders and anchored Palestinian nationalism in a precise cartographic frame: the whole of the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, including Jerusalem, was claimed as a single Arab space to be liberated and reunified.

History, maps and money: France before the euro... (La France avant l'euro...) A map of France as of January 1941, with the boundary line (ligne de démarcation) marking the division of Metropolitan France into the territory occupied and administered by the German Army (Zone occupée) in the northern and western part of France and the Free zone (Zone libre). During the German occupation, the official exchange rate set by Germany was 100 French francs to 5 Reichsmarks (RM). This fixed rate, established in 1940, meant 1 French franc was worth 0.05 Reichsmarks (or 1 RM = 20 francs). #carte #historique #histoire #historical #history #map #France #Germany #argent #monnaie #euro #Macron

History, maps and ethnicities: Ethnographic Map of Poland, ca. 1910 (nationalistic map published in 1914 by the Polish community in Paris, France) Original name: Carte ethnographique de la Pologne d'aujourd'hui dans les frontières de 1772 (Ethnographic map of today's Poland within the borders of 1772) The map depicts the distribution of the Polish population within the borders of pre-partition Poland (1772) using hatching. Six unequal percentage ranges are used (from 0-5% to 50-100% Poles). The source of the data is not provided, making it difficult to verify. This wide percentage range allows for the distribution of the Polish population across virtually the entire territory of historical Poland. The use of the 50-100% range also allows for the depiction of a vast and compact area of ​​Polish dominance across Congress Poland, Western Galicia, Silesia, most of Greater Poland, Pomerania, and the Vilnius Region. Furthermore, colored lines, not included in the legend, have been hand-drawn on the map, encompassing regions with a Polish population of over 50% (red), and with a Polish population share of 30-50% (green) and 20-30% (yellow). #history #historical #ethnic #ethnographic #language #linguistic #map #carte #ethnographique #Poland #Pologne #Polish #Poles #Germany #Russia #Lithuania #Ukraine #Hungary #Slovakia #Romania #Paris #France
