wait canada that small?
still 2nd largest in the world
This map false
Pakistan bigger then Asia
Pakistan zindabad 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
South Asia actually not that different tbh
Brits still f***ed every boundary and map they made there though
Africa and south America should combine their forces and unite under one banner
Well cal ourselves South Africa
What is the reasoning? It’s interesting that almost all the distortion is above the equator, does that fall into the reasoning?
Seen a TikTok and a couple other things about it
They don’t want Africa looking that big
And also places where people with darker skin are smaller
White people was just being weird and insecure
shouldn't canada fit onto the us like a puzzle
that makes it look like the southwest corner would be like a thousand miles east of the north west corner of the us
Russia small af
The reasoning behind distorting size is still so weird to me. Like I get the reasoning and needing to pick and choose which thing to represent bc 3d world 2d image and everything, but I still can't help but feel minimizing Africa was part of the actual reasoning
This doesnt really make sense
The most popular map with the equator countries smaller just happened to be more practical for navigation and a lot of things
At the time they didn’t have any reason to make africa smaller when they owned the place and could flex how big their empires were

Flexing your empire is a W, but when your goal is permanent subjugation of a race, belittling them/their worth to the point that they believe it is a far bigger W. By your logic they shouldn't have spent so much effort covering up our history and accomplishments, because they missed out on the chance of flexing how all of our ancestors' wit made them just qualified enough to be slaves to the white man.
