What is this map? “Most recently conquered by”? If so then England should have the Normans (1066), shouldn’t it?
None of the SSRs were conquered tho. If anything they were released as members of the Union. They could leave at any time had they wished to.
Also the Golden Horde never conquered all of Russia. They enforced tribute from the russian principalities and Novgorod was never even attacked once. It got to stay in a vassal position, of which it had slipped out by the end of the middle ages.
Germany still is effectively under occupation, so the date should be 1945-ongoing. With the former GDR 1991-ongoing.
The Mongols never conquered all of todays turkey. The last and most advanded foray was under Timur, beating up the Ottomans.
Iran likewise never was fully occupied by either the UK or USSR. Meaning any full absorbtion has to be dated much earlier.
The “UK” famously got conquered by a certain William with the epithet “the Conqueror” (he got that exactly for that event), former epithet “the Bastard” (dude got an upgrade). Yes, that was just England, but the map creator clearly does not care about the historical fine print, see Russia and Turkey.
I think you put way more effort into this response than this half-assed historically illiterate garbage deserves. For one thing we don’t even need to go into the historical details of whether this or that territory was completely occupied because half of these weren’t even countries at the dates that are being cited here. It is ridiculous to talk about the USSR “conquering” Ukraine or Belarus because these SSRs were among its founding members. The formation of the USSR is what made them into distinct entities to begin with. Before that they were just parts of other countries.
“Yougoslavia”? Ne, prijatelju, Ourgoslavia.
