Nope, only in the colonies
Damn that is suprisingly accurate for being hand drawn. How did you draw it? Did you use a reference?
Yeah I used a map kinda resembling my own, some time ago tho I don't think I can find it):
damn ... why is there so much unclaimed white space in (north) africa? Below Tunis for example... why did no one claim the Sahara space until/ before colonization?
Well im not exactly a historian, but I'd assume the land was quite difficult for European style armies to traverse though. Back then, the interior of Africa wasnt really seen as important by the great powers either. But of course, the Portuguese technically claimed all of Africa
This is great. Would love to know what technique you used to be so detailed.
Just really thin pens ngl
