How the religious groups follow language groups in Europe

This map is the result of the attempt to combine pictures of religious and language groups in Europe. It's quite easy to see how religious border follow the language ones (or vice versa?), dividing Ol' Good Europe into three main core areas - Germanic-Protestant, Slavic-Orthodox and Romance-Catholic.

This is kind of a summarized picture of all the European internal wars of 10-19th centuries.

Manhattan Map - tell me who's your neighbor first!

New York, like any typical American city is built up out of Avenues and Streets, most of them numbered so that you can never tell 29th from 30th. A much easier way to memorize the map and describe a city is by mapping its neighborhoods. Here's a map of Manhattan that will hopefully be useful not only to the tourists, but to Manhattan inhabitants, too (click on the map for bigger version). I'm not sure if it will help you find your neighbors in NYC, but keeping it in memory may be much easier than keeping all the names of Manhattan streets and aves.

If Germany had won World War One...

What would Europe have looked like, had Imperial Germany won World War One? This image is taken off a French magazine at the start of the war, painting an exaggerated picture of German (and Austro-Hungarian) land-grabs in a Europe dominated by the victorious Central powers. In this Europe, ‘grande Allemagne’ has gobbled up all of Luxembourg and Belgium, most of France (leaving only a mini-French state around Biarritz) and extends far into Eastern Europe. Great Britain is a German colony, Ireland a dependency of Austro-Hungary, which rules most of southern and eastern Europe.

That's how the map would look like if germans won one World War One.
