A common scenario in alternate history is Napoleon going to America. You saw it in William Sanders' Empire and Shannon Selin's Napoleon in America. And you also see it in this map where Napoleon and his brother build their own empires in North America. #MapMonday
Giving my hand a break from signing copies of my new book to post a couple of #mapmonday photos. Here we have two Red Cross maps showing POW camps in occupied Europe and Italy. #TheUndefeated #histbookchat
In my recently tonsillitis-addled brain, I nearly forgot #MapMonday!
I’ve gone for another 1942 one because it’s where my heads at right now, and the date. This is a map of the Prome area, but showing the nearby village of Shwedaung.
Colourful map of the province of Munster in Ireland with colorful borders, depicting regions and towns. Includes ornate compass rose, ships, coats of arms, and detailed handwritten notes.
For this week's #MapMonday we're delving back into the colourful Hardiman Atlas collection with this map of the province of Munster. The map is inscribed to Lord Burleigh by Francis Jobson on 30 May 1589.
Deposited by Trinity College Dublin.

Happy #MapMonday! This is based on the idea that the Empresa de China worked, and then things got out of hand.
I'm reposting an old favorite of mine because I spent yesterday compiling and/or creating flags for all the major components of the Hapsburg Dominions, and I want an excuse to post them. 😄

This state map shows immigration as a share of population growth from 2021-2025. In 7 states, there was aggregate population loss in this period, so no share is reported. For the remaining states, the share varies widely, from less than 25% to 100% (where immigration outpaces total population growth). States in which immigration is a lower share of their population growth are largely in the Sunbelt and Mountain West. States in which immigration is a higher share or outpaces their growth are concentrated in the Northeast, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest.
How important has immigration been for recent state population growth? My new @harvard-jchs.bsky.social blog post has an interactive state map exploring this question: www.jchs.harvard.edu/blog/populat.... The patterns imply that the recent & projected declines will be felt unevenly. #MapMonday
In the top left corner, the map reads: "The Shaping of a Continent: North America's West Coast". Below it there is a map in orange, pink, and blue demonstrating how much North America has drifted in millions of years. At the center of the map, there is a detailed illustration visualizing the geologic features of the Pacific Northwest, including the subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate. There are some blurbs surrounding it providing more information.
Did you know that there are 13 major volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest? This map colorfully visualizes why: at the Cascadia subduction zone, the Juan de Fuca Plate slides beneath North America, creating several explosive volcanoes. #MapMonday https://myumi.ch/D8ER8
#MapMonday throwback to the first series of war maps I ever did, depicting the major phases of the Third Mexican-American War ca. 2133-2139.

Extract from a US Army #map from 1959, showing Berlin and the surrounding area, including the occupation sector boundaries.
A conversation had elsewhere reminded us to point out this #MapMonday that whilst SABRE Maps does focus on #maps of Great Britain and Ireland, that we do have some historic mapping of elsewhere, for example, these lovely US Army maps of Europe from 1959. buff.ly/OWZtNQJ
The book this is based on is pretty meh, but I really love this interpretation of the premise. #MapMonday

Today’s #MapMonday is the one I had blown up so I could hang it on the wall in front of me when writing Thunder Run.
All the war diaries had the names of tiny villages the armour, motorised infantry and self-propelled artillery swept through, and this helped plot them all.
