Some of it is based on events that took place during the RP. For context, the Ottoman Empire fell apart a few weeks before the time this map is based on.

As for Africa... i've done what I could to at least make it acceptable. Some of it is based on the events of the Great War, and some of it the peculiar circumstances colonialism created.
