World History
These are two of the 40 maps that Max Fisher of the Washington Post compiled to help explain the world. Some of the other maps include: A political map of the world, circa 200 A.D., The countries where people are the most and least emotional, Who loves and hates America, or Languages and dialects of the Middle East and Central Asia, to name just a few of these entertaining maps. The map of Africa above shows a missionary's view of Africa in 1908 and the lower map shows the reach of North Korea's missiles. Thanks to Kay Connors for tweeting the link.
