I’m pretty sure I will want to protest the ‚unclaimed‘ designation on planet earth when the evil aliens show up.

Acadia was renamed to Nova Scotia in 1621, when the Scottish took control from the French, but the French regained control from 1633-1654 when it returned to the Scottish control. So it WAS French in 1650, but was no longer called Acadia. It was Scottish and not British until ~1710. Nova Scotia means New Scotland and reached into modern Maine, with it being north of New England. Just like back in the British Isles.

New York was once New Amsterdam? Why did they change it?

Well, settlements in North America
I love how much this map leans into being inaccurate.
„unclaimed“
Wait so the native in say Seattle had no idea about European?
There’s a [wide range of estimates of the population](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_the_Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas) of North America before the arrival of European settlers but there were definitely millions of people living in the so-called „unclaimed“ area at the time (and also in the area claimed by the Europeans).
Im very disturbed. English blue instead of red? French orange instead of blue? And dutch red instead of orange?
If only it stayed this way, perfect
New Sweden was still a thing in 1650.
The rest of South America was unknown until 1651 /s
There are hundreds of countries not pictured here. Just claims.
– We need a new name for this new found land.
– let’s call it newfoundland.
There are a TON of settlements not shown on the map because they didn’t have the foresight to sail to the New World post 1000 AD
“Unclaimed” …REALLY? Gross.
„Unclaimed“ is the wrong word. Multiple completing clambes
