    Chinesische Karte von Nordamerika durch amerikanische Missionare im Jahr 1881


    Gab es einen Grund, warum Ellesmere und Peary Land (Nordgrönland) als Teil der USA gezeigt wurde?

      P/S this map is from a later edition published in 1915 so I’m not totally sure if this map was in the first edition.

      Placenames on this map are actually more phonetically accurately transcribed into Mandarin Chinese than what they are now 😂

      (this is because the current standard North American place names are not transcribed directly into phonetic characters according to their mandarin pronunciation, but rather, cantonese pronunciation due to the large amount of migrants originating from that area historically)

      TIL: pacific and Atlantic oceans are the same in both Chinese and Japanese. Anyone out there know if this is Chinese to Japanese historical or Japanese to Chinese (colonial and post colonial) influence?
