Fuck it's not even the biggest continent
>>1814661
>We gotta give all these people a home! They own continent is not big enough!
>>1815390
The fact is the common mercator projection makes it look much smaller than what it actually is, nobody claims it's the biggest continent, but many people think that "Africa" is one homogenous country (which it absolutely ain't obviously).
>>1815402
I suppose I am already aware of the distortions that the Mercator projection creates.
But it's when people tell plebs it's some sort of cartographical racism

>>1815416
Well a logical question is that if the mercator is indeed useful mainly for navigation, why do we use this to represent the world when we have way better and more faithful projection to do so, like the Gall Peters for instance?
The map in itself isn't racist, but its uses en lieu of more appropriate maps can hardly dodge accusations of racism when one of the key thing it does is dramatically reduce the importance of Africa as a landmass.
>>1815483
>gall peters
lol
>>1814801
Maybe
>>1815483
I understand what you are saying and personally prefer not to use mercator presently. However I don't think that it is used to deliberately reduce the importance of africa as a landmass and therefore can't be described as racist.

Ok, I'll bite. When was Finland invaded by the territory currently known as the UK?
>>1815634
>>1815638
Mostly yeah, but there are some mistakes. France is named after the Franziska of the Franks which is a throwing axe, not a spear.
Spain is the land of hyraxes. Belgium is the land of the men who swell with rage.
And whenever it says "river" or something along those lines, the country is named after a river which has its own etymology.
>>1815696
That map uses wacky logic to count military action against another country as an 'invasion' IIRC
So at the time it may have been Britain taking action upon Sweden whilst Finland was a part of it : And they would count that as 'Britain taking military action against Finland'

It goes by percentage of population. The Netherlands has a smaller population than France, so deaths will make more of a difference.

You're right about India and Peru. Uruguay possibly means "bird river" and Paraguay might mean "river that spawns the sea". In the case of india, it seems to be derived from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, which originally just meant river. That word was applied to the Indus river, which in turn lent its name to the country in Western languages.

Anglo involvment in the Paraguayan war is a conspiracy theory by Latin-American Marxists. There is no recorded support of the war, or even communication between Britain and the South American countries involved.
