How these dates were made

Real dates from Wikidata, checked against the atlas.

These are real dates: French Indo-China's founding and dissolution are recorded in Wikidata, and accepted here only because they agree with the centuries the atlas independently drew it in. The atlas itself draws the world at 3 moments in time, not continuously. The strip below covers those snapshots — 1920 CE to 1938 CE — which sits inside the fuller span above.
