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

Really? I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know!

Also, I just realized that Goa and other European Possessions in India are missing on the map

This has been fixed. I actually forgot to add the gray areas to India during the finalisation of the map.

Oman: Let's not get to excited about our colonies. Let's just have the coast and land near Muscat.
