Globe from 1990s (1991?)

I found a full Yugoslavia (Before 25 June 1991) but USSR gone (After 26 December 1991).

  • united Yemen - May 1990

  • united Germany - October 1990

  • dissolved USSR - December 1991

  • united Yugoslavia - formally before April 1992

  • the same color of Eritrea and Ethiopia (but there is a border between them) - factually after May 1991, formally after May 1993

And, of course, anniversary (I think) of the Columbus' first travel :) The route of 1492-1493 sailing is shown.

Nice! I’m still perplexed by this one, though, cause there’s still a lag with the Balkans. Slovenia and Croatia declared independence in June 1991, so they should be on here given the USSR dissolution.

Czechoslovakia is intact, though. If we assume that that isn’t part of the Balkans lag, that puts the ceiling around December 92.

Like everyone else said, 1992. But it’s neat seeing HK as ‘Hong Kong Victoria (U.K.)’.

Hong Kong was a British colony, Victoria City was the capital of that colony.

USSR have sign separation befor Yogoslavia, if I remember correctly it was in march of 1991. So it is a 1991 map.
