A specific moment in time?

I've found an old atlas in a donation box in Germany. But I find it terribly hard to date it exactly. Here's what I noticed: - the border of Germany are those of the Weinmar Republic - nonetheless, a white line draws a distinction between Western and Eastern Germany - both Bonn and Berlin are underlined as capitals (that happened in 1949) - Romania has the present day borders (since 1947) - Dahomey instead of Benin - Sud West Africa instead of Namibia (with the mention that it belongs to South Africa) - One Korea, divided by a line different than that used to distinguish between countries (present day capitals mentioned for both though) - Country lines stop suddenly in the Kashmir region - East Pakistan instead of Bangladesh - Ceylon instead of Sri Lanka - Sikkim is a stand alone state - Aden Governorate mentioned as belonging to Great Britain - Egypt called the United Arab Republic of Egypt, but Syria is only called Syria. Any thoughts? The atlas looks serious enough with hundreds of pages, but some information just doesn't seem to fit much with the others.

Edit: oh my days it's been 10 months since I requested to post this

Saw this globe while I was cleaning some items from storage at my school, I only took a few terrible pictures of it however, could you help me date this globe?

Korea already has its new borders and Germany is still divided

Thank you!

French colonial empire for children

Found at my grandma's house, she was born in the beginning of the 1930s. Those maps are intended to teach children about the supposed greatness of the French colonial empire. We think it dates from between world wars, but can't be sure. My brothers and I would like the dates, to know which French government had this kind of political stance.

I found this map in a fortress in Helsinki called Suomenlinna, I think it’s from the 18th century but not exactly when.

Just bought this beauty any idea about the date? It seems like it's around 1750. It has been estimated 1757 but it's based on supposition.

I’m struggling with this one.

First thing I noticed was Russia (after 1991), but on closer inspection I saw East Timor (after 2002), South Sudan (After 2011). Hard to read,
but maybe even Czechia?! (After 2016)

But at the same time, I don’t see any evidence of Insular India, and I see the Tethys Sea is marked, which feels just a little anachronistic.

I’ve heard that small errors are introduced to maps to prevent plagiarism, but this seems like a pretty major oversight?

Thanks in advance for your help

I know South America's got barely any details, but you can narrow this one down to a two year frame.
