editTerritorial Evolution of the Dutch East Indies
editI noticed that these three maps showing the territorial evolution of the Dutch East Indies don't seem to be consistent: 1) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Territorial_Evolution_of_the_Dutch_East_Indies.png 2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Dutch_Expansion_in_East_Indies.png 3) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dutch_East_Indies_Expansion.png Is there a reliable pictorial source showing the correct historical enlargement of it? Thank you! --79.55.55.107 (talk) 22:43, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- There is a map with regions colour-coded by date in this book from 1991 (itself using a 1967 source) so that should be safe from any circular wikipedia referencing. 70.67.193.176 (talk) 17:39, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, but is it only me or the shades of that map make it unusable? --79.55.55.107 (talk) 08:40, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
