Hooray! feels good to be in the forge.
Ender516 last time I checked the XML it looked ready to be sent off for approval, do you agree?

It seems even universities have a problem understanding that the berlin conference was no treaty representing true political, military or economic control.
small example: Congo free state didn´t conquer Katanga/Garanganze until -91 but this map pretends CFS of -86 was almost as big as DRC which is completely ridiculous. Large parts were still unexplored and certainly not officially CFS.
..but I´ve seen much worse - lots of lies and propaganda in colonial maps that doesn´t reflect actual history.
the easiest thing is of course to skip forward a couple of decades and pretend that the european version of history is the correct one..

i dont think that you can reasonably say that this map or Brown are either misinformed or evil.
This map is:
a. incredibly detailed including battles and year-by-year expansion
b. accurate as far as any map possibly could be: there are conflicting historical accounts.
choose to think that this map is BS if you want, but its pretty damned accurate, and a great source
