@@humantenelevenYou could make assumptions of the earliest point it could have been made, but not any precise guesses on how late it could have been since that depends on the accuracy of the creator.
you can clearly see the salmon swimming in the middle of the pacific ocean being 8.63928 years old hence the map must have been made on 26. feb 1971 at 12:54 pm
That can't be true, the salmon was a female and is pregnant and didn't have a single baby if it was that then it would've have salmon babies by now. there fore it is January 12 at 4:11 am.
Portugal still has the African colonies which means that this map cannot be after 1974. Something similar applies to Greenland due to the use of the Danish flag (should’ve been used up to 1979 from what I understand). So yeah, it has to be very early 70s as far as all you’ve said is true.
Actually part of this map is from the year 1658. The danish Island "bornholm" is Swedish on this map which could only be true if this map was either from 1645 or 1658
@@danielbugby4149😭 they’re saying that how it’s pronounced in the native tongue, or at least an English approximate. It’s just using a French-based writing system
people pronounce things in English differently all the time but why is it when we pronounce things differently from other languages only we are corrected..
I would guess 1968, due to Rhodesia’s existence, Israel being big, Franco still controlling Spain, Portugal still controlling their colonies, and the Union of South Africa owning Namibia.
I feel that because your range only changed by one day and it was back in 1970 where info didnt as quickly on a large scale like that, maybe a few week buffer. Idk maybe the cartographer planed ahead of time for a flag change 😅
Bangladesh wouldn't have used this flag until later in the year tho. The mukti bahini wasn't fully formed yet and the kalo raat didn't happen until the night of the 25th of March. So I think he's off by a few days at least.
That dictatorshipment you're talking about was the revolution for a better future of greece at that time from the weak military and pour debt the old leaders did to greece
Hey! Bangladeshi here. Bangladesh got independence from Pakistan on Dec 16, 1971 after a 9 month war since March. Up until December, no other countries recognized it and instead the war was viewed by a civil war/ insurrection. So, if someone made this map, let's say in Oct 1971, they would probably use the Pakistan flag for the current Bangladesh location instead of the flag of the rebels at that time. So, I would say a timeline of 10 oct 1970 to 16 dec 1971 would be more accurate.
I just assumed (before I started chdcking the flags) that due to the fact this map remembered to include Iceland on the map that it was somewhere around the early 2000s. I am not kidding. The amount of world maps pre 2000s that forgot to include sizeable populated islands is silly.
I swear i thought the iranian revolution was in 1971. I thought i couldve been smarter than you. Damn it! Also, Omans flag wasnt used until December 1970.
The person who makes the Wikipedia flag maps always does the start of the year, that would mean that it’s 1971 since you narrowed it down after 1970 but before 1972
I’m nowhere near as knowledgeable as this fella, but the Canadian flag *immediately* stood out soon as he mentioned when the person thought the map was from. Egypt was another that caught the eye.
Normally old flags just slip in when the (mostly amateur) map makers collect graphics. So basically only the start days of flags are reliable for such maps.
@@tldredhistory8391 If the map went by what the UN said, then Taiwan would be shown as a part of the PRC. Yet it's clearly shown as the ROC here, so this map isn't affected by UN rulings.
I love how the flag of Canada was your clue on it not being in the 50s despite half of the world being decolonized XD. I found 1967 to 1970 because the Sinai is under Israeli rule but the UAE aren't independent yet.
I really hope this is parody. Rhodesia was a failed nation-state governed by a racist white minority government that promoted segregation and racial discrimination. the Rhodesian government committed war crimes against black civilians while they were at war with the Marxist rebels. you have a fucked up understanding of ‘beautiful’.
Id say you could probably even more specific if you talk to the person who made the map or find the original published piece, but october 1970 to march 1971 is probably good enough for the average person
I could be wrong. But I believe I see that Biafra is still apart of Nigeria in this map. That was in January of 1970. So it looks like we actually need to broaden the range again. Or that just means there are discrepancies in the original map.
I knew there would be at least one of you sheep commenting whenever the video even has the word israel mentioned once. I bet you don’t even know where Palestine is.
This map is supposed to show the world in 1970, and to show all map changes from that year, it is set on the last day of 1970, the 31st of December. So technically, that is the date of the map. But, the last change on the map is the flag of Oman, which was changed on the 17th of December 1970. (TLDR: 17th-31st of December 1970)
Using only africa and the middle east I was only able to narrow it down to 1966-1971. Rhodesia definitely helped narrowing it down to 1965-1975 and the UAE not existing yet told me it was before 1971 whilst Botswana gained it's independence around 1966. Very nicely done to basically narrow it down within a year!
This assumes all flags were accurately picked. Map makers have a large list of flags and countries, and don't typically check each one, so you can't judge the map's accuracy by the day.
I imagine that updating a barely usable flag map with partials of most flags wasnt a priority and would probaly at the earliest be used in an early scholastic setting so it would be researched and produced for the start of a school year so as schools usually in the UK start in Steptember it was probably produced and marketed may/june 71 at the earliest
Been watching your videos since the racist chocolates video, I appreciate your effort in linguistics. I myself have studied English, French, and Vietnamese but I don't think I have your knack for your research on the 3. subscribed!
Angola and other african portuguese speaking countries still had the portuguese flag. Only in 25/04/75 those portuguese speaking countries definetivly stopped being portuguese colonies. But some of them had already had some sort of independence. I was taught that one of them had in 1961 (which i think was angola 🤔, and i think that angola and guiné-bissau became independent in that decade)
