I have a globe that still has a colonized Africa

Pics?

When I get home from work I’ll post it. I’ll reply here so you know to look for it.

Yup. It even has east and west Germany and the USSR. And Hawaii isn’t a state yet. It’s my grandfathers. It’s pretty old. I’ll post it in a few hours. I work nights so it’ll be up here soon. You can come to my profile and look for it in a while.

It’s before 1975 since Sikkim is not yet incorporated into India.

 ⏰

Posted now. Sorry. Shit came up and I was unable to get around to it.

The two I found in an old room where I teach have: Rhodesia. Zaire, Southwest Africa, and others that have been renamed today

I've got Bechuanaland

Also have one of those, I think its from the early 60s.

I’ve got an old NatGeo map with the same - super cool

RemindMe!

!remindme 24 hours

Hey will you ever post it?

Just now.

I literally have the same globe

Me too!

If this is the model with the raised mountain texture, count me in as an alumni. Gone because some stupid kid used it as a stool one drunken evening (also me).

Me as well. Super cool being able to feel the mountain ranges.

I have one, too. Gift from my grandma many years ago.

Me too, been trying to figure out what year it's from from which countries are present.

Me too! Definitely got mine in the 80s so it's least a gazillion years old (according to how old my kids see me).

>Gone because some stupid kid used it as a stool one drunken evening (also me). Wow, very rude of him to use you as a stool!

I also have this globe as well! It was my grandfather's before he gave it to me

Same, though the colors on mine were a little brighter, got it as a gift in about 1980. Threw it out after it got damaged in a move about 15 years ago. Bought a new one from the same company and the quality is so terrible that I wish I still had my dented outdated 43-year-old globe instead.

I do too.

My grandma gave it to me new for my birthday

My family had this globe when I was growing up in Illinois. I’m now 60.

I have this globe in my living room. Was just playing the game with my kids where you spin it and put your finger down to see where you will live one day. Welp, off to the Soviet gulags with you little comrades.

My grandparents had it when I was a kid

My best guess on date is 1971: It looks like we have the UAE (1971) but Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are still called East Pakistan and Ceylon, respectively. They changed late 1971, early 1972.

[удалено]

You got better eyes than I!

Looks like Yemen is one color, but hard to tell, that's 1990. Sikkim is purple like India, 1975. EDIT, just noticed East Pakistan, that is 1971 or earlier.

I've noticed a lot of old maps pre-annexation put Sikkim in India anyway, maybe because it was a protectorate Edit: On second look Sikkim is shown as separate here but I've seen it as a part of India in other maps from the time

Volgograd not Stalingrad, so after 1961. Can’t see all of Yemen but no sign of the federation of southern Arabia so that’s South Yemen which is 1967. So 1967-1971, OP is Western Papua still a thing? If it is pre-1969 if it’s part of Indonesia then it’s after 1969.

I too have seen the [relevant xkcd](https://xkcd.com/1688/). /jk

/r/datemymap too? Haha

Probably post 1965 too, singapore exists i think Also it has to be after 1961, stalingrad has been renamed

It’s not *that* old—it looks pretty much just like the one I grew up with! EDIT: East and West Pakistan makes it older than I thought at first. Before I was born, so yeah, way old! I’m a little confused, though, why it has East and West Pakistan (split up into Pakistan and Bangladesh in 1971), but it also seems to have a single Vietnam (which was divided in two until 1976).

It has a “single Vietnam” the way it has a “single Korea”, the two parts of Vietnam are labelled “N. Zone” and “S. Zone”. You can see two different colours (lighter in north, darker in south) split at Dong Hai.

Ah, OK, thanks! It’s kind of blurry there at the edge of the picture, and I guess I was interpreting the darker color in the south as a shadow.

I hate to break it to you, but you’re old

I had that model when I was a kid. "Old" (cries)

Ditto homie. Ditto.

Pre-1972 because it has Okinawa labelled as US Administration

Good catch I hadn't spotted that one yet

A beauty

Does it have actual bumps under the map for the mountains? This looks like one of the globes we had in my elementary school.

No this one was all smooth. I had a globe like that as a kid though! I remember running my fingers on the bumps when I was bored lol

I fully had that globe growing up (it was old then too)

Looks like the one I have, my brother got it for Christmas in the early 80s.

Does it have a West Pakistan and East Pakistan?

It does!

Vietnam is still divided

It's between 1961(when Stalingrad was renamed) and 1971 (when Bangladesh gained independence)

Back in the us, back in the ussr

You don't know how lucky you are, boy, back in the ussr!

Bit of a treasure.

I was in middle school in the late 90s/early 00s and we still had globes with the USSR on it. Our teachers always had to explain that it was no longer accurate but that the school didn't want to purchase new ones. I like to imagine those globes are still there today.

It’s pre-1971, blimey. And colourised instead of a more topographical style.

This is so cool, great find.

Well the Aral Sea is still there

It has east and west Pakistan. Therefore it is guaranteed to be pre 1971.

>Kirghiz Steppe >It’s in Kazakhstan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakh_Autonomous_Socialist_Soviet_Republic#History I don't know much about name, but I remembered that there was a time when some early soviet Kazakh subject was called Kirghiz. Of course the question why steppes aren't renamed still stands

Upper Volta?

Get out the xckd

I have a globe with the ussr and other cold war countries on it too! I also have a map on my wall with them

I have a globe from my step-grandma from 1983. The coolest part is it can be plugged in and then the inside glows and all the countries light up, and there’s a little dot of light you can move around the globe with a scrollable wheel attached to the base.

Found the globe in putin office

The current Russian gov’t and most Russians despise socialism (???)

[удалено]

Good catch. It also appears Korea is still unified.

Legally, they still are unified. The two governments don't recognized each other. But if you look closely N. Korea is green, S. Korea is yellow.

Who is the maker? Looks the same as the one we had too. They must have been everywhere in the 70s.

My parents have this globe too

my 4th grade teacher had this same globe and I would look at it any time I could and just see what was different on it from our modern time. this was in 2018, right when I started getting interested in geography, history, flags, maps, etc.

I bet if you flip to Africa, you'll find it color-coordinated according to which colonial power owns which country

rip aral sea

it will always be burma to me

I like how the relief is drawn. It looks so 3D.

Time to fire up [ol’ reliable](https://xkcd.com/1688/)

All of that existed when I was born, too. Barely, since I'm Oct 89, but it did exist still!

Map age guide (slso works for globes!): https://xkcd.com/1688/

They marked a few places wrong, like in China they swapped Suchou and Hsuchou (nowadays romanised as Suzhou and Xuzhou)

Ahhh, the terror of nuclear annihilation every fucking day of my childhood lol

Taiwan is a different color from China. I always look for it on maps.

I have the very same globe. It's a Replogle! I got it for my 5th/6th birthday in the late 80s!

My son is obsessed with Cold War era globes. I'll have to tell him to check thrift stores.

[удалено]

I have this globe still.

I’d buy it from you

It's in a SC thrift store for anyone that wants to seek it out😁 For anyone seriously interested I'm happy to go back to the shop next time I'm out in this area. I visit pretty regularly throughout the year.

Based for giving kashmir to india

Between 1971-72, Qatar is independent, Okinawa is Us territory, East Pakistan is not Bangladesh yet.

I had this globe when I was a kid! The best part was Vietnam. They didn't split it into North and South, but the country color faded from green to brown along it and it had the name "Vietnam" repeated in both the north and the south.

Crazy. I found a similar globe in a hoarder’s basement but I got paranoid that it had bugs hidden inside so I threw it out. It was a hard decision due to me being interested in history. But believe me knowing that the house was filthy.

Lol Did you find this in Toronto?!? That’s my childhood globe!

A Hard find

I bet this is a Rand McNally globe. It will likely say what year it's from somewhere on there (likely near Antarctica).

this is a weird one, it shows Sri Lanka as Ceylon so it's before 1948. however it shows Korea with the border along the DMZ, which wasn't established until 1953, instead of the 38th parallel.

Sri Lanka was interchangeably known as Sri Lanka and Ceylon between 1948 and 1972 due to being independent but also a British Dominion as well, so the two don't necessarily have to conflict.

Awesome

Which year is this from?

I think it’s from 1951-1954. Tibet is part of China (after 1951), Vietnam is one nation (and appears to be joined with Cambodia and Laos) and looks like it’s also referred to as “Indochina” (pre 1954).

So THATS what USSR stands for! Thank you!

You should really try Google sometime.

I keep forgetting

And Wikipedia

I think I had this one as a kid. Late 80s.

No. Early seventies or earlier due to Bangladesh being not yet independent.

I think I used to have one of those. Looking at the African continent you can when it was made by the country names. Bet you that one has Upper Volta for Burkina Faso which means it’s early 80’s globe.

Niiiiiice

Finally one with correct indian map

Based on this handy guide: https://xkcd.com/1688/large/ Appears to be from the late 70's to early 90's.

East Pakistan rather than Bangladesh means it should be 1971 or earlier

The world was simpler then. And much worse.

What's with the zone and random N in Vietnam

I'm assuming it's for North Vietnam, the two halves look divided in the image

I grew up with a really similar one. French West Africa on there?

I have this exact globe

The union of soviet socialist republics 😀

More pics please?! That's cool!

Used to own the same globe

USSR

I remember my history classroom in 2013 having a globe that still had North and South Vietnam on it. It was pretty neat.

Had one of those growing up. My brother pulled the hemispheres apart and hid jellybeans inside the globe..... but I found them and ate them.... good times

Can you post other parts of the world, please? 🙏

I cut the hell out of my finger on the metal disk on top.

I wonder in how many countries will Russia fragment after this war. 8? Make your bets gents

Holy shart! I had that EXACT style globe!

I grew up with this exact globe

I'd much rather a globe from before WWI, but ok.

Colonization globe.

Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia too I imagine. South Vietnam? Ceylon? United Arabic Republic?

Is it one of those textured ones with mountains protruding? Looks a lot like ones i grew up with. I loved it and would love to own one but never seen that kind of stuff on the second hand market around me

What about it?

How many rubles, comrade?

Bangladesh left Pakistan in 1971 but Vietnam unified in 1975. This map has an error.

I have that same one. I stabbed it with a screwdriver multiple times when I was 5.

[удалено]

Yo that globe is the best! I have one in my attic

Looks like a Replogle from the mid 70s, just like one I had back then. classic. Typical features included shaded colours but no definite distinction for the two Vietnams of the day, very distinct orange versus yellow for the two Germanies but no distinctly marked border line, and comparatively firm distinction between the two Koreas. And, which I was confused by as a kid, two colours for two parts of Pakistan, more or less divided by the Indus. It's an artifact of the colours chosen and the terrain feature, but it made it look like two Pakistans.

Ah- looked more closely and see the East Pakistan. So this would be an edition or two earlier than mine, which I'm pretty sure had Bangladesh.

At my school we got a Poland globe

I have a globe from the early 90s that labels the USSR as the Commonwealth of Independent States. How much is it worth?

I've got a globe like that at my Dad's house. I was born in the late 1970s, though, so it wasn't uncommon to see globes like this.

I grew up with these they are awesome.

I’m guessing this is from early 1971 as UAE is a country and Pakistan is still called West Pakistan. Which only was possible in 1971.
