All Possessions of the British Empire in 1921 with a Map

Not sure how to respond to that, but thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! That was a minor mistake in the map which has now been fixed.

Aden changed borders quite a lot over the years. This is just how it looked in 1921.

Allied occupation at the time.

Zone of the Straits, a joint allied occupation zone that existed in the final years of the Ottoman Empire in and around Constantinople.

Thanks!

Barbados, Bahamas and Solomon Islands. Well, I personally wouldn't worry too much about it, considering there's quite a few harder answers here, lol.

Malaysia was a bit more complicated back then. By 1921, most of Malaysia wasn't federated yet and a lot of the sultanates that today make up the country were administratively separate protectorates. While western modern-day Malaysia was unified by the end of World War II and gained independence in 1957 as Malaya, the eastern British holdings (British North Borneo and Sarawak) and Singapore (later expelled in 1965) would join Malaya in 1963 to form Malaysia. Brunei would remain British until 1984.

This was featured yesterday.

Thanks!

I will be sure to take a look into this when I find the time for it.

Their status as external territory, like with Papua, does put both possessions in a strange position within the British Empire. I chose to include external territories for the sole fact so that it adds a bit more clarity.

It should be noted that these areas were administrated differently back in 1921.Tokelau was part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony. Niue and Cook Islands were under more less tighter control of New Zealand and not yet separate entities. Either way, West Samoa, which was a mandate subject to NZ-authority is included.

Norfolk and Papua were placed under Australian control as external territories pretty early on in contrast to that.
