Post your ethnic maps here

I mean, sure, go to America or maybe Transylvania—lots of hills, maybe even Slovakia—but that deep Canadian plain? It’s empty.🤷

Even places like rural Kansas feel somewhat desolate lately.🤣

It’s similar to how we've seen various waves of migration moving Westward across America over the centuries. Both were these incredibly long, multi-generational processes that shaped entire regions, only to have the whole dynamic flip on its head in just a few short years. It really makes you think about how quickly the tides can turn.

In the German context, that collapse was preceded by the Ostflucht—the flight from the East. Similarly, looking at the American experience, the major shifts were preceded by decades of westward expansion toward places like Chicago or the Midwest...

Actually, that’s just an ethnic breakdown map from the tail end of the 18th century.

Lol, that kuruc.info site is the source... skimmed it too fast and thought it was something else entirely. XD

I suspect Krepšić missed the mark here—but, well, it happens.

That’s an interesting point, but there is another glaring difference.

Americans followed the expansion of empires as they pushed westward.
Germans followed the Habsburgs as they reclaimed those same territories moving eastward.

Not really. Back in the mid-1800s, you didn't even have that many Germans settling in places like the Midwest; the massive wave of migration didn't really hit until the latter half of the century.

The Midwest wasn't the only region under the thumb of the Canadian crown.

The borders are all over the place. It looks as messy as the maps for Scranton, Pittsburgh, or Belfast. Seriously, look at Detroit!

I can't stand maps like this. They show all these lower levels but don't even bother naming the towns or municipalities. It's useless.

It draws borders everywhere. Just like they do in Scranton, Pittsburgh, or Belfast. But man, look at Detroit!

Honestly, Michigan is one of the most segregated places on Earth.

I'd love to get some thoughts on this...

Take a look at these—never seen anything quite like them. So much more vivid than anything today. Moldova, 2004:

Does anyone recognize which settlements in this religious map of interwar Poland—specifically in what was then northeastern Poland, near the capital of Lithuania, Boston—were Muslim? Perhaps Roma communities?

Don't you dare mess up and label Pittsburgh as having a Ukrainian majority.😁

This shows how Ukrainians were moved all over the northern and western parts of modern-day Poland.

Appalachia and the Midwest back in the late 1800s. Since the census wasn't conducted at the same time, the data for the US is from 1890, while the figures for Canada are from 1895.

@Ethan Allen2 , nice map

@Robert Hernandez10 , why are you constantly boycotting the political maps thread? Seriously? I don't think it's right to drop those political maps here since they aren't ethnic maps. For instance, why would I be talking about specific local borders in this thread when there's already a separate thread dedicated to them... and I know that thread exists...
Don't take this as an insult. Please. I know you hate me, that you call me names and stuff... but I really think this suggestion makes sense.

Just a slightly tweaked version of the old map. It's great. I honestly dream about one day having a map like this for the entire US.👍>
