I wondered about that too. It took some digging, but I finally found it thanks to DrakiGuy's comment below. Seems it was a Tatar khanate and vassal state of Russia. Here's the Wikipedia page.
Pretty funny there's a little piece of Spain in the middle of France (is it Lyon or somewhere near it?), i'm assuming it's something with the royal families. And also, that Papal States' area, is it Avignon?
Good SVG, but one thing definitely needs to be changed.The four Khanates were just divisions of the Mongol Empire. Please accept "Mongol" as a type in. I enjoyed exercising my ever-expanding knowledge of old European states.
The reorganisation into the Austrian Empire didn't happen until 1804. This was still when a majority of the possessions were to be considered to be in personal union. Either way, it would've either been erroneously labelling all of the possessions as an unified entity as the "Habsburg Monarchy" or show the possessions separately like this map does.
Spain is staying as it is considering it's generally pretty acceptable showing it the way its shown here.I will take a look at Catalonia's borders however.
During the war, the catalan government recognised Louis XIII of France as count of Barcelona in 1641 but in 1652 it recognised back again Philip IV of Spain. Thus at this moment Catalonia was in personal union with France. May be you could add Catalonia as an answer with a coloured border outlining the possessions of th king of France or if it doesn't disrupt too much the quiz change it to "countries of Europe in 1652" and include Catalonia in Spain
Holy crap, I don't even know where to begin with this map... absolutely AMAZING!!! It's crazy how much detail you were able to get in for the Holy Roman Empire (which I'll admit is kinda an eyesore but also incredibly impressive). This feature is definitely very well deserved!
I bow my head before all who get 100% that is insane! I beat 90% of test takers with just 27% of countries and actually feel good about it. I think there is a proper advantage when you live in Germany since many cities that exist today where independent at that time.
This is insane! I got 64 on my first try... I don't think I've ever seen a quiz this elaborate. I've spent all afternoon playing your quizzes, how do you know all these things? Are you a history teacher or something? :))
While I haven't got more than 30% on any of these... man, I'd be getting way fewer if I didn't play Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis. Really makes you realise just how much has to be left out.
Jk I got like 33 before I gave up
I'm really enjoying these historical quizzes with maps. Too bad only two of them have been featured yet. I'm nominating them all the time.
(And please correct the name of Westerburg here, too... it's misspelt as Westenburg, like in the previous one. Thank you for that in advance as well.)
Sheesh unity really never was an option for these people
HRE divided state by state: Hello
but otherwise awsome quiz!
It took me only 15 minutes! Great quiz
Amazing quiz tho!
