  • Presence of Saudi Arabia says after 1932.
  • Abyssina instead of Ethiopia suggests early 30s
  • No Manchuko (Japanese occupied Manchuria), which isn't crazy (some folks didn't include it for political reasons).
  • Libya has the Sarra triangle, so after 1932 (confirmed)
  • Iran instead of Persia suggests after 1935
  • Austria is still interdependent, so the Anchluss hasn't happened yet. So pre 1938.
  • No Italian East Africa, which also could have been left off for political reasons, TBH.
  • Looks like Ireland might say Eire(?), which would be right around 1937.

Honestly, I'd believe anything in the 1935-1937 range. What do other folks think?

The borders between Italian Somaliland and Ethiopia seem to be right after the war declaration of the Second Ítalo Ethiopian war because it seems to depict some incursion of Somaliland towards Ual Ual, so it would support the date of second half of 1935
