With the help of a map, can you name all the countries of the world in 1250?
Click on the map to zoom in.
Kingdom of France outlined in blue.
Due to its complexity, most of the German and Italian states are unified under one single entity. States with territory outside of this entity are also included.
Due to a lack of information, some states in the Americas might be missing.
I wasn't thinking about the significance of the date chosen, and when I do these historical map quizzes I tend to choose somewhere on the "global periphery" and work inwards. I had gone across (obviously missing many) the Americas, Africa, and the Arabian peninsula when I was like "Wow Persia is unified? Wait why do they control— *Oh.*"
It's because of the Mongol Empire. In 1250, they were reaching their zenith of power. They thus controlled territory as far away as Iran, which is what Forsaken was talking about.
52/507!!! Honestly proud of myself. There are definitely ones I'm annoyed I missed though. Like some cities in France and Italy that still exist today, the same for some cities around the Baltic states. Oh and I missed a ton of islands that I should've gotten. I'm very annoyed I didn't get some of the biggest ones though... dumb england
There also seems to be an issue with the orange dots becoming smaller when zooming in.
Fun quiz otherwise.
