Wasn't it there immediately upon annexation? Then the Fornicators (Fornies? Calibrians? 'Californians' is so blasé) pushed it eastward to deny Nevada the Sierra Nevadas and that sweet, sweet silver.
What is a Japheth, a Shem ... and Ham ? Are they meat peoples ?And then there is .... this ("The Dispersion of the Peoples and Animals of Pangaea after the Flood"):
No, they're the sons of Noah, in the Bible, who are the forefathers of the various ethnic groups apparently. E.g. Shem equals Semitic.

It's not too bad, though rather shoddy for what I assume would be a history course, or one where history was integral.

Sorry, off to cry. I could start a four year university course explaining all the things wrong with that map.

Yes, that’s Advanced Placement United States History we’re seeing, even. To my own memory, I can’t recall my textbook being bad in any way, but the girls were always moon-eyed at the teacher, and he let them be thus, so we didn’t get much done.

But the tiny Norseman with his tame elk in Greenland is soo cute!
It looks like it came from a YEC version of Unreal World.
There's so many things wrong with that globe! Apparently the city of Palestine is right on the border between G/pt and Srael! Black Sea appears to be a city in Geopgian and Monaco and Andorra have moved to Corsica and Sardinia. I think the Maditerranean Sea sums it up really!
The Ottomans lost so badly they were completely wiped off the face of the Earth it seems.
At least that one actually has the Ottoman Empire as part of the Central Powers. But what's up with those weird angular borders in eastern Europe? And obviously it's not like it was called World War 1 because it involved fighting in Africa as the whole continent was completely neutral.
What is up with Corsica (which seems to have gained independence and started dividing)?Here's another horrible one. I think somebodies forgotten about WWII.

Was that drawn by a 3 year old?!
I love how Greenland is green and that there's both an orange and a purple Australia. God must really love Australia.
