Ethnic map of the World in 1914. (Patreon)

This is an ethnic map of the world I made of the year 1914. Ethnicity is a very sticky topic and thus determining borders is remarkably difficult. You run into questions that are impossible to answer without getting death threats from some nationalist groups. Are Croats and Serbs the same? What about Bosnians? Where do Macedonians fit it? In Latin America where most of the population is mixed race, where to draw a sharp border between the areas that are 51 percent European ancestry and 48 percent European ancestry? I tried to go with majority ancestries and how people identify their identities. There is far more in common between the Dutch and Germans than inside Han China, but the Dutch and Germans think they're different nationalities while the Han Chinese don't. I also did not label much of the tiny tribes in the Third World and this is mostly due to laziness and prefer to spend my Saturdays hiking or with friends, but also there is the component that getting accurate names is legitimately hard and it would clutter the map. I went with ancestries that existed 500 years ago for nationalities. Thus, most White-Americans today (or in 1914 for that matter) have an Anglo-Saxon culture irrespective of ancestry but I went with the majority nationality ancestry 500 years ago. Similarly, this is very true of Latin America, where getting the names of 500 year old extinct tribes was very difficult. This map was possibly the hardest to make of any I've done.
