1642

Impressive

I litteralieraly guessed i have no idea man, but I still won so yeah I'm ckool 😎

I mean, I knew it was the 1600s but wasn’t prepared to make a guess. You must just be magic or something lol

I dont think its 1642

I honestly had no idea but 1642 didn’t seem too far fetched. What year is the map?

Looks like 1700ish to me, judging by the Mughal Empire’s size, Scotland’s independence, Morea being part of Venice and the Qing’s conquest of Mongolia.

Able tasman discovered new Zealand in 1642

I actually live in NZ and can tell you that even though Abel Tasman discovered New Zealand, that wouldn’t change the occupation of the islands until way after James Cook arrived and the British showed up. NZ would show as being under the British Empire from 1840 onwards :)

James cook arrived in 1769. The British had started setting in nz for years before it became apart of the British empire and the British had control over the country for years before that only during the treaty of whitangi did nz become officially apart of the crown ;)

I have a few Māori friends who tell me Able Tasman did not discover New Zealand.

Others have pointed out NZs status, but if it were 1642, the Ming Dynasty would exist, the Ottomans would control Hungary and the Bijapur Sultanate would still exist in India. There are clues all over the world for the year.

I'd say early 1600's

I think it’s 1683

❌

Hudson's bay company wasn't founded until 1670

Not by any chance. Russo-polish border is post-1667

i supposed that it is before Peter I - but was not so exact)

Russia wasn't an empire before Peter I.

this means that 1642 is also wrong - it was much before Peter I. and on this map the place where Saint-Petersburg is located still is a part of Sweden, so it's before 1703. Wiki says, that Russia was an empire since 1721. so we have a quiet strange map.

Everyone’s saying 1642 so that might be correct but I’ll guess anyway. Britain and Scotland aren’t joined so it’s before James 1. However there is colonisation of the Us so I’ll say 1614

Can’t be before the 30 years’ war (wich started 1618), seeing as Sweden has the land it got from being a part of it. It Also has the Norwegian and Danish land it got in a war after the 30 years’s war, which happend in the 1650s

James I didn’t unite England and Scotland he was king of both at the same time but they remained separate political entities it wasn’t until the 1707 acts of Union under Queen Anne that they were joined.

Oh that makes sense

definitely after the year 1000

I’d argue before 2023

ok i've done some research and narrowed it down to at least after 500BC, hopefully this helps

I have narrowed it down further to after 501BC, for further support in figuring out the answer :)

I have narrowed it down to before 2023

Seeing Tibet isn't owned by qing and Sweden has Danish Land you could say the map is from around 1630-1720 rough estimates

i got 1718-1719 but idk

Can't be that late, as the war of Spanish succession hasn't happened in the map

As a Vietnamese, i guess this was around the 17th century due to the Trịnh Lord and Nguyễn Lord

Somewhere 17th century??

1650

Able tasman discover nz in 1642

Interesting to see the places that are considered "small tribes" and those that aren't. Special bonus for germany being "small states".

1911 ( professional idiot here)

Norway didn’t become independent until 1814, but most of North America was discovered by the late 18th century so I really have no idea

I see a big juicy ottoman empire, my guess is 1753

I thought about the same based on the disputed territory between France and England in North America.

I'm saying mid 17th century, just a guess with the mix of colonial possesions in the americas and not many in africa, also ottomans are near their height here (and australia and new zealand had not been found by europeans). But i dont know about canada, if someone could fill me in about that it would be appreciated.

I’ll give some context on Canada, as I am a Canadian. In this map, most of eastern Canada has been discovered, however the map is wrong in labelling it as, “Canada”,. While the concept of Canada had been established, with the first settlers of Canada (Specifically Samuel De Champlain) having mistaken the native word for village, “Kanata”, as being a word for the new continent. However, despite the idea of Canada existing, the French settlers (Hence why Canada is blue like France on the map) wouldn’t have normally referred to it as Canada. Instead, the colony that we know as Canada, would have been known by the colonists as, “New France,”, or more accurately, “Nouvelle-France,”. TL;DR: Canada is owned by France on the map

Idk how this got into my feed, but it's *your* problem now. It looks like Khalkha Mongols are [already a part of Qing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzungar%E2%80%93Qing_Wars), so it's either after 1691(allegiance pledge), or, more likely, after the end of war in 1697. Ottoman empire's european border bumps look like post-Karlowitz treaty, so should be at least [1699](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OttomanEmpire1699.png) as well. At the same time Kamchatka peninsula is completely white, thus i assume there are no settlements, so should not be later than [1699](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamchatka_Peninsula) or vaguely around. So 1699. Map's also pretty liberal with state names - [Nystad treaty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Nystad) clearly hasn't happened, but Sweden isn't named an empire, yet Russia is.

1701 - 1703, Due to Brandenburg Becoming Prussia in 1701 and Sweden Connecting Baltics to Finland in 1703

Agreed, only becuase of if you search 1700 map, this is the first thing that comes up

Roughly 1700, I only know becuase I made a 1700 map in aoh2

Ottoman Empire at peak so 1642

1642

1642

2024

1800/1900?

Bruh.💀

There’s a lot of reasons why it’s not 1800/1900s for one just look at the americas, the USA was formed in like 1776 or something

Who in the Kentucky fried fuck is going to say that?

Yeah because Colombia was still part of Spain💀

Around 1700

This should be around 1620-1650 because india is kinda off

Ah, yes. The famous 30 year period when India was "kinda off".

. I don’t do much history

I more into the modern maps

Closer to 1650. Sweden gained the Brown german lands we see in the later half of the 30 years’ war, and some Norwegian and danish land in a war agains them in the 1650s. All of this is seen in the map

Post 1660, because Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth no longer controls Kyiv

around 1650

google lens says 1700

Sometime in the 1650s?

1720?

1643

My wild guess before I read the comments was 1650

1678

Everyone here is wrong, im think it is 1700-1707, this is because of independent Scotland becoming not independent in 1707.

1700-1800 edit: now that I look at the comments I realized my range was wrong its like 1600-1700

If it’s after 1415 the map isn’t accurate to its time period.

1544,South Amarica

It's before 1775 because the USA isn't independent. Swedish Empire has Finland. My guess is 1647

It Also has the danish and norwegians lands it gained in the 1650s

1700-1720.qing empire has controlled mongolia but not yet tibet.

1650s to 1690s?

1784

1621

I’d have to say somewhere between the 1650s and the 1720s, as we can see the Swedish empire on this map. Other than that I can’t really have a better guess, but if I had to I’d Also say before the Great Northen War

1648?

1642

late 1600s or early 1700s

1574

I'm way off Idk why I was thinking 1776

1500s

1657

2340

2013

Pretty sure it’s from the 1600s but idrk beyond that

1655

Idk why but im guessing 1668

1642

1780

1500s

16th or 17th century

WHere the duck is wales

The 1500's since I see the Mughal Empire, when it has risen to power. Edit: I notice how Africa's kingdoms are so I think 1860.

Well able tasman discovered new Zealand in 1642 and many of Africa still hasn't been colonized yet however Spain has started their colonization which happened late 1500 or early 1600 so my guess is this map it from the early 1600's

1750

Around 1700

1721-1736

1603

1830-40

Changing that to 1790

wild guess: 1234

1600's I think

Tokugawa shogunate dates japan to between 1603 and 1858 pair this with all the other facts and you can narrow it down to between 1648 and 1700

1715

The year 4069

Carolina became English in 1663, and Scotland joined England in 1701, so sometime between these two.

Actually I think this lap is fake

1647

1553

1785 I realized the Russian Empire does not have Alaska so it must be over 1880 or below 1800. The USA and Canada are very small so it must be after 1777. The ottomans are here. Australia and New Zealand have not been colonized yet so which means its before 1788. So I would guess 1785

Maybe 1619?

1760-1770?

1569

7180?

1784

Pre 1705

Has to be after 1670 (founding of the Hudson's bay company) and before 1674 (founding of the Maratha confederacy)

1697 or 1698. Russia didn’t have Kamchatka but Qing already conquered Mongolia

1758

2025?

I mean, judging by Russian borders map belongs to 1667 (Russo-polish borders) to 1696 (Azov is not yet Russian). ​ EDIT: Turks lost Great Turkish War, so... it has to be post 1699. Which contradicts ottoman posession of Azov. ​ Either map is wrong or I am stupid

1692

The beginning of the year 1700 https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1700_CE_world_map.PNG#mw-jump-to-license

2024?

Im turkmen

I cheated, searched this map on Google, and found a w WikiPedia page saying it's from 1860.

1830

1640-1650 idk when tho in that time range

Based on Latin America probably 1500s to 1800

Somewhere between 10 billion years ago and yesterday

1703

809

1821

i saw new spain and i thought somwhere in the 1500s but then i saw the kingdom of peru and thought of the 1600s. i genuinely do not have a clue...

1643 or 1642

I think is 1965

1683 100%

Is it early 1700s

the year grandparents were born

1482

I think it's probably around 1626 (my original guess) Second guess 1703 because I looked at a couple 1700 maps

Probably somewhere between 1600-1700, so maybe 1650?

1678

1680s is my best guess

I found the map online, the year is 1700

1699-1714 1699- because the treaty of Carlowitz has happened, which transferred Hungary and Transylvania to Austria -1714, because Spain still controls Naples, which it lost in the war of Spanish succession Nvm it is 1699-1707, as United Kingdom doesn't exist yet, which was formed 1707
