Caucasus, Central Asia and Tibet

Were the Caucases and the modern Central Asian republics part of the Russian empire at the time of the first world war? Was Tibet part of China? I think that there are many innaccuracies in this image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Btnw (talk • contribs) 00:26, 20 September 2008

Territory of Soviet Union is not territory of Russian Empire

Cuba

In 1900 Cuba was still occupied by the United States in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, although the Teller Amendment was in effect, which guaranteed Cuban sovereignty. It was replaced in 1901 by the Platt Amendment, which made Cuba a quasi-protectorate country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.191.128.144 (talk) 06:03, 3 December 2008‎

Korea and Middle East

Korea wasn't officially part of the Japanese empire until 1910, and what are the two countries sandwiched between The Ottoman and British occupied territories in the Middle East, I thought there was only one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.140.11 (talk) 16:44, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

From looking at the map description, I think one of them was the Emirate of Ha'il, and the other was another Arabic kingdom. The various Arabic kingdoms/states/tribes were conquered or formed a single union/state to make modern-day Saudi Arabia. - M0rphzone (talk) 01:17, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

American territory

The United States of America had a period of imperial territorial expansion: Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, the Canal Zone of Panama from 1903-79, the island of Guam acquired from Spain in 1899 and the Northern Mariana Islands acquired from Japan after WWII, American Samoa, the Philippines from 1901 to 45 and the Ryukyu Islands from 1946 to 72 as part of the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific (expired in Micronesia 1986, Marshall Islands 1991 and Palau 1995). U.S. armed forces bases remain in Panama after the U.S. turned over control of the Panama Canal in 1999, in Okinawa which is under Japanese rule again, and the Midway Islands and Wake Island are U.S. territorial possessions in the Pacific. Joint U.S-British armed forced bases in Bermuda being a British crown colony and Diego Garcia in the Indian ocean are noted. 71.102.2.206 (talk) 12:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Colors

I think non colonialist countries should be painted on gray on this map. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.12.200.38 (talk) 17:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
