Nice. I don't suppose you could recommend any places that I could find maps (and other attendant information that provides further context)? That website I linked to has a lot of old maps. You can check it out. Thanks. Seeing as you linked me to a treasure trove of them, here's one map of Europe as of 1815.

Interesting map but a couple of points to note. It would be more accurate to say before 1910 I think as Russia lost its economic and limited political domination in Manchuria after its defeat by Japan in the 1904/05 conflict. Similarly the Russian and British sphere's of influence in Iran didn't occur until the entente between Russia and Britain in I think it was 1907, so strictly speaking Russia didn't have both the sphere of influence in Manchuria and Iran at the same time.
Also what it doesn't show is the German influence as they have Papua New Guinea and adjacent islands until 1914 after which they became Australian protectorates - or probably formally mandates. Similarly although it mentions on the map the Portuguese possessions, such as Goa, Macao and E Timor their not represented on the map legend. The only railways it shows are those in Russia and eastern China, although at what dates I don't know but there were a lot in India and in other places, especially Malaya, Java, the Philippines and French Indo-China I would expect.
Hope that doesn't sound too pedantic but I've always loved historical maps so tend to notice those things.

Good points. Didn't notice it myself.

Since the map is in Spanish, it appears to be a Cold War-era map put up by the Spanish Armed Forces for the flights of USAF strategic bombers and cargo planes.

Have you also placed it in the Soviet/NATO invasion and nuclear targets across the world thread so we can create a nice collection of Cold War areas invasion maps.
