The World of Avatar: Every Year 

It was fun making a fantasy map for once. I wanted to include some of Avatar Yangchen's or Avatar Szeto's stuff but unfortunately there are almost no canonical dates. Either way, enjoy!

The single frame of "Phoenix Empire".... Ozai really thought that was gonna be something

1:50 this is the moment everything changes when the fire nation attacks

Love how you made Kyoshi island into an actual island throughout the video

It feels rather ominous that the ATLA World's equivalent to "before Christ - after Christ" is "before genocide" and "after genocide"

Very funny how most of the large scale conflicts were resolved by a single decisive battle. Chin the Conquerer: defeat at Kyoshi Peninsula (island) Fire Nation: defeat at Wulong forest and recapture of Ba Sing Se Kuvira: defeat at Republic City

Chin really did go hard

I would argue that the majority of the Air Nomad islands were under Fire Nation control. Obviously they didnt occupy the temples, but the ports and small villages would have probably been major centres of power for the Fire Nations Navy.

There looks to be an error around 2:54 - there was no war in Ba Sing Se

It's cool as hell. There are things that Interpret differently. For example I don't think Omashu's autonomy was very unique. Before Kuvira it was said that Earth King had very little influence in all of the Earth Kingdom but Ba Sing Se, and central interferention was mostly limited to taxation and conscription. Also I think that Fire Nation captured way more, probably encircling Omashu before taking it. There was Fire Nation army near Chin-Kyoshi island as well, it was showed twice.

Finally, I've been waiting for a good Avatar map for way too long. This is amazing, I especially love how accurate the Sun Warriors and Kyoshi Island is in this. Though I think the Fifth Nation controlled some of the Earth Kingdom and Air Nomad coastlines.

The details like the Kyoshi Island getting separated from the rest of the Earth Kingdom, the firts invation of Ba Sing Se or the complete annihilation of the Air Nomads were perfect. Good video.

Chin the conqueror must of been some military genius to have conquered basically the whole earth kingdom in less than a decade

I always assumed the Fire Nation took over all of the Earth kingdom, save for areas like the swamp and desert that weren't worth the effort.

As a kid I thought it was insanely stupid for Ozai to burn down the Earth Kingdom using Sozin's Comet. Because even if the Fire Nation had to face rebellions, it won't do them any good to turn the land they've been conquering for 100 years into ash and smoke, while also wiping out most of their tax paying subjects living there. But seeing how more than half of the Earth Kingdom was still out of their grasp. It now makes total sense that he would go down the total annihilation route and choose to eliminate the part of the Earth Kingdom that was still not under his control.

I guess we're waiting for the Water Tribe's and Air Nomad's turns at painting the map.

"And then it all changed when the Fire Nation attacked..."

The music going from calm ancient vibes to "now shit hits the fan" out of nowhere as the map catches of fire to the beat its kind if amusing ngl.

Respect for the men of the 41st division who covered Iroh”s retreat from Ba Sing Se. Especially Lu Ten”s 2nd battalion.

Fun fact: s02e05 of Avatar contained one of the first mapping animations, showing the rise of Qin's Empire.

One of the most interesting histories in media

Can we just appreciate the in 100 years the fire nation didn’t even take over the entire earth kingdom but in just 3 years the “great Uniter” took over the whole of the earth kingdom

2:37 600 Day Siege of Ba Sing Se.

2:56 well, by the end of the war Fire nation must have controlled the areas around Northern Air temple too, otherwise where the troops in the episode came from? Despite that, I'd say that's the most precise video on avatar history I've seen. Great job!

This needs a version 2 that a dot/line shows avatar's location or route at each episode.

Tigerstar and ATLA? Count me in Tbh Avatar's creator did a great job with adding a detailed map to their world. You can really feel the immersion. Heck when I was into mapping one of the first maps I made was an ATLA one.

An inaccuracy is that during the 100 years war, the Fire Nation attempted to invade the Northern Water Tribe in 15 AG. Source: Siege of the North Part 1 Hahn: [Irritably.] Of course they do. These are real uniforms captured from actual Fire Navy soldiers. Sokka: [Sarcastically.] When, like, a hundred years ago? Arnook: Eighty-five. The siege happend in 100 AG so 100 - 85 = 15

I’ve never seen this show but “phoenix empire” goes hard

A Song of Ice and Fire next?

Great work on this one my dude! what a banger\

Ngl, Kuvira's military dictatorship was pretty cool

ever since kayra did their vid I was wondering if anyone else would try it. glad to see its you.

My friend just got me into Avatar, this is great, wonderful job, keep up the amazing work!

Aang Era: Northern Water tribe: 🥱 yall having fun? Southern Water tribe: 😗💅eh, im pretty cool down here. You guys? Air Nomads: Earth Kingdom: YALL PLEASE HELP ME Fire Nation:👹👹👹 Korra Era: Northern Water tribe: 😴 Southern water tribe: North are you awake? i think there's civil unrest stirring again. also the Air Nomads are back Air Nomads: 👨‍🦲👨‍🦲👨‍🦲👹(

Cool vid! I always wondered where the northern air temple was supposed to be on the map, though I'm quite surprised it occupies so much less land than the other air temples

I've always wanted someone too make a video just like this and even better that it is done by you.

Currently reading the first Kyoshi novel and I love it. She may be my favorite Avatar now.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se

Really cool seeing a map video of Pandora 😊

Tigerstar making maps of a fictional world was something i wasn't expecting but it's a really good suprise. hopefully there will be more of the same type !

What is this small island in the middle of the map. The equator . It's name is sacred island, water tribe. What's this. 2. Sunwarrios were their own independent small tiny island? I suppose. 3. I just love kioshi island detaching from mainland. Brilliant. 4. Flat earth?

I've been waiting for this for actual years

Also man Fire Nation for all their hype tech and shit took 100 years to do half of what Chin and Kuvira did in just a handful of years.

I just started to watch avatar for first time since i was a kid, and now you make this video, it feels like you've read my mind, i like your content, I hope you continue making anime maps like this.

EmperorTigerstar doing an Avatar mapping video dreams do really cone true

For some reason I thought the fire nation had a lot more of the world under its control by season 3

More info Camilla-Peony war, essentially a royal succession crisis in the fire nation from the crowning of Zoryu to the 290s BG. Yellow neck rebellion - the entire rebellion was held by some cultist who wanted to make a nation that only existed in his mind or on paper. Members of the revolt grew erratic, going on killing sprees before the revolt would be crushed. War of Chin the Conqueror - Chin was a governor presumably in the Northwest, during his governorship, the 46th king, who was corrupt, ascended to the throne, the 46th emperor's incompetence, failures, and corruption led to him starting an uprising presumably with popular support. Despite the military estimates being unknown, it can be infered that either Chin had a large army from the start or Earth Kingdom troops defected. The rebellion collapsed after Chin's confrontation with Kyoshi. Era of peace - the Pax Britannica of this world, lasted a century and was started by Kyoshi. Water Tribe - Earth Kingdom naval standoff - caused by a dispute over naval boundaries, lasted from 14 BG to the beginning of the Airbender Genocide. The Hundred-year war - A war that lasted exactly 100 years that encompassed the globe. The war was marked by the Fire Nation invading a large part of the world and subduing certain areas, EX: Southern Water Tribe. The war ended in an allied coalition victory after the battle at wulong forest. Dai Li Coup - Earth King Kuei had arrested City Secretariat, Long Feng, and shortly after, the "Kyoshi Warriors" (in truth, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee) would arrive and, after finding out about the arrest of Long Feng, decided to make a deal with him and became essentially the leadership of the Dai Li in all but name, Azula would forge a plan that would be orchestrated as a 1-by-1 takeout mission that goes from the council of 5 to the Earth King himself. Azula crowned herself as Queen of the Earth Kingdom and the Dai Li would tear down part of the wall shortly after, letting the Fire Nation in. The fate of the rest of the lands that the Earth Kingdom controlled before the Dai Li coup is unknown, but one of the Dai Li Officers in one episode mentioned "The Council of 5 and the Military remain loyal to the Earth King" so it can be assumed that Azula only ruled in Ba Sing Se and had to deal with a civil war after the coup. Collapse of the Earth Kingdom - occurred after the death of the queen to anarchists. The entire nation quickly collapsed into either full anarchy or warlords, being united by an Interim Government which would turn into a Nazi-Like Dictatorship.

Air 'nomads' seem awfully stationary despite their name

Love it! Finally a pretty accurate map. Though arguably after the 100 year war, the air temples were given back to the Air Nomads. No one was gonna interfere and Aang had free reign. The Northern Air Temple even went back into their control prior to harmonic convergence

Yellow neck rebellion? Now that sounds familiar!

I like how the fire Nation is shaped like a flame

Great map, but it's confirmed in the original show that Uncle Iroh did put Ba Sing Se at siege before retreating/being expelled. This isn't shown here

you just forgot to remove the northern air temple of the map in the end, since it got destroyed

Ba Sing Se was fully occupied twice. The first time it was by iroh, and you missed that

I love how the Fire Nation basically didn't suffer any losses after the 100 years war

YES I WANTED THIS FOR SO LONG THANK YOU

You should do fantasy maps more often. It's more content & this was pretty good

I'm surprised that the map of the Siege of Ba Sing Se by the Fire Nation doesn't show the breach in the outer wall. From what I know, after breaking through the outer wall, the Fire Nation took over the large farming areas. The Earth Kingdom's leading general gave Iroh a knife as a sign of surrender, which Iroh later gave to Zuko

Wasn't southern water tribe basically under fire nations control?

i love the way how kyoshi island is split from mainlad 0:56

Wasn't the Southern Watertribe basically occupied? I mean all water benders were kidnapped, and Zuko sailed there with impunity. Also, the Air nomads were completely wiped out, assuming that all Air Temples were conquered?

This is going to be good i love this series

Why didn't Kyoshi stop Chin the Conqueror before? Like, she was ok with him taking over the whole world except her tiny peninsula?

What do the numbers next to B and E mean? Also, brilliant work!!!

YES, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!

I clicked on this thinking it was gonna be about the Avatar movies I’m pleasantly surprised!

What a coincidence: I just finished watching "The Legend of Korra" :D

The issue with the map is that it is not accurate. We know from ATLA Season 3 I think in Zuko's reading of scrolls from the life of Sozin that Avatar Roku confronted Sozin over territorial gains made in the Earth kingdom a couple of decades prior to Roku's death. These were given back I believe. Granted we don't have any information on where but one could wager the Hu Xin colonies would be the likely candidates.

I know it only happened for four years, but Chin's conquest of the whole Earth Kingdom super-continent is terrifyingly impressive. Even Omashu was conquered. Literally, only the "Impenetrable City" didn't fall. And he did it before the Industrial Age that started during the Hundred Year War. Absolutely wild. Highkey, Kyoshi should have stopped him sooner. Visualizing it on a map really puts that into perspective.

silly question: what is BG and AG? before and after what? :') on another note, great video! it was very interesting and I loved the detail of Kyoshi Island detaching from the main land ^^

Can't wait for the new earthbender series to come out. that would mean more content to add to this.

If this really is accurate I had no idea Zaofu was so far away from the U.R. The show made it seem like it was just a hop skip jump across some mountains.

I would be so here for more fantasy map content

*Full History of Five Avatars* 0:18 Kuruk the First Avatar 0:36 Kyoshi the Second Avatar 1:09 Roku the Third Avatar 1:45 Aang the Fourth Avatar 3:04 Korra the Fifth Avatar

I just started rewatching Avatar a few days ago what a coincidence

It’s crazy how the Earth kingdom was losing to the fire nation, and that the Earth Kings had no idea that there was even a war going on.

Good to know you're obssed wit Avatar to

I didn't expect this. This feels like something an avatar channel would do, but I digress

It Never made sense to me that the northern air temple was on earth kingdom teritory

The Fire Nation: N@zi Germany Both Water Tribes: America and UK. Earth Kingdom: The Soviet Union The Air Temples: *Poland*

I always wanted to watch Avatar, but never get around to it. Still a great show from what I've heard

World of Avatar: Everything changed when the fire nation attacked Eastern Europe: Everything changed when the russians attacked

It was fun seeing something from a show I loved as a kid being broadcasted on a channel that has history, something I also love

I disagree with the notion that Omashu was unique in its degree of autonomy. Personally, I believe that the entire Earth Kingdom was incredibly decentralized and that there were dozens of Omashu-like kingdoms that were largelly independent but recognized Ba-sing-se's unique status. Something analogous to Spring and Autumn period in china.

The ideological enemy after Korra would be this universes version of maaoism if avatar continues to follow eastern history

You sure the fire natiom didn't take more?

This was a really cool watch, though I wish there was maybe a pause when big changes happen so I can watch it on normal speed without needing to scroll back constantly to see all the little changes.

I feel like there should be more stuff before and after the original series.

2:38 The outer wall of ba sing se surrendered to iroh so it should be shown as breached

Why is the United Republic just one big province?

Finally a quality video of the avatar world, there were a few already but poorly translated to english

bro ran out of wars

Looking at the map you have to be amazed at how the Fire nation wiped out every air bender given how easy it should have been for them to escape.

I was wondering if you were going to do this. Are you going to do other fantasy maps over time?

I wished in the ATLA lore, there would actually be a fifth nation way before Avatar Wan's time consisting of fantasy based Pre Colonial Filipinos and Southeast Asians in an Atleantean based vibe that can bend the element, Energy. I know the Fifth Nation is mentioned in the Kyoshi novels and Avatar Generations game, led by Tagaka and her pirates from mixed nations, but it would be cool to add Filipinos into the Avatar lore

Really cool video, love the world of Avatar and it's geography and history.

That video WILL explode.

I just watched this entire video until realising it was based on the last airbender rather than the james cameron movie. I was just waiting for the humans to invade

As a History Lover and Avatar Fan, I love this so much!

Fist and only map of the avatar universe like this that doesn't just show the entire earth kingdom suddenly falling to the fire nation all at once and instead having a front line. One very minor criticisms; The fire nation launched 4 simultaneous attacks on the air temples and likely would've used the conquered Northern Air Temple as an FOB close to Ba Sing Sei, hence why we can see them freely operating that far north in Book 1 and Book 2 prior to the Earth Kingdom's fall at the end of Book 2.
