Sakhalin island[edit]

Anachronism: the island is shown split between Russia and Japan - but this didn't happen until 1905 (see en:Invasion of Sakhalin and en:Treaty of Portsmouth). From 1875 to July 1905 the whole island was Russian. Retired electrician (talk) 00:26, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Norway[edit]

Why exactly is Norway listed as an empire? In 1900 it was in a union with Sweden. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 96.9.67.90 (talk) 13:46, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
