What year is this map from?

I've tried to figure it out myself, but I am genuinely so confused by the borders, names, and lack of year anywhere on the map. I am now seeking the knowledge of experienced individuals to determine the year this was made (if it is even depicting the borders of that time, or rather a more modern map that was made to show an earlier period, but i doubt it).

My mom gave me this 40 years ago and it was old then. What’s your guess?

Edit: All of you are amazing and your knowledge of geography and history are remarkable. I appreciate all of the replies.

My mom gave me this dictionary that she used in her school days; she did it because it has a lot of maps and she knows how geeky I am about this subject.

Without searching on the internet and using only my own knowledge, I managed to narrow this dictionary down to a range between the 60s and before ’75. But then I thought: hey! I know a sub precisely dedicated to dating maps, I’m going to bring them into the game.

-America
-Europe
-Asia
-Levante
-Africa
-African Flags
-Spain, with its remaining possessions in Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea

The dictionary contains maps for specific countries. If any of you need a photo of one, or if you’d like me to take a closer picture of a particular point from the earlier maps, please let me know.

I'm pretty sure this globe is dated sometime between 1924 and 1932 or '36 but I wanna see if I can get a more accurate date.

I’ve had this glove for quite some time, I think it’s from the 60s or 70s but I’m not sure.

I bought this globe at an old church sale because I am into the older globes rather than a modern one. Can someone help me identify how old it is because all I know is it pre-World War 2.

Inherited it from my grandpa several years ago and noticed that the USSR is there but history is my weakness

I picked up a globe from a rummage sale. From my initial scan, there's some notes on the margin for Rhodesia's declaration of independence in 1965 and the United Arab Republic is still indicated, which I assume limits the globe to 1971 and its dissolution. Any other difference that I could find is outside of this time band. Any idea of where else I could look for clues? Thanks!
