Curated entries are written and checked by us. Records badged Wikidata are auto-ingested and link to their source. Continents name a part of the earth's surface, never a state, so they are never anachronistic.
Spotted an error, missing something, or just curious? We read every message.
Reporting an error? Please be specific: say what is wrong and give the year.
A guided path across the map: each chapter sets the year, so the borders you see are the borders of that year.
