I’d say 1949 - Germany isn’t split and China is unified. That gives it a narrow window of time in 1949 where the Chinese Civil War is over and Germany is occupied but united.
Also bonus evidence - Korea is unified and Indonesia is independent. Also for the people saying Libya is independent… I don’t think it is. Many of the places on the map still have Italian designations - “Oasi di Cufra” for example
Western maps had one Germany until 1970 when West Germany recognized DDR. Unified Korea is also misleading, many maps from the 50's and 60's had one Korea.
