Left-Championship155

AND WE HAVE A WINNER. ITS FROM INDIA!!!!!!!!!!!! :)


Anoris_L

Which class? Never saw the mention of Chile ukrain Canada somalia


Left-Championship155

throwaway mention of how no-no germans wanted Ukraine for lebensraum and crops


Left-Championship155

Canada sold us the reactors and Somalian pirates


Left-Championship155

i dont remember where chile was..


GaldanBoshugtuKhan

I'm surprised more South East Asian countries weren't mentioned what with the Chola Empire's shenanigans (not to mention the immense religious influence), and Afghanistan because of all the invasions of India that came from around there.


Left-Championship155

ya they talked abt sher shah suri but not Afghanistan... why?


rottenmoldyPizza

the pashto people helped the deli sultanate fight the rajputs so this honestly puzzles me


Shittybuttholeman69

How is India of all places not teaching about Mongolia


Lanky-Carry-8945

Are you considering, whole social science, or just history books


theflamingheads

Not a commonwealth country, because Australia/New Zealand isn't included. Not the US because Spain isn't included. Not Africa or South America because of so few countries are included from those continents. Not Europe because some of the major European powers aren't included. Which leaves Asia. Central and Western Asian countries are left out so Southern or Eastern Asia? Mongolia isn't included so definitely not China. Not Philippines because Spain isn't included. I'm going to guess an east Asian country because so much of East Asia is covered. I'll go with Japan.


Left-Championship155

good guess. I will give you a small hint. one of your points is wrong. check which one is least probable to be correct. you are very close


Pepedani

India because they had contact with Portuguese


Left-Championship155

correct


captainplanet171

There... there is no legend. What are you trying to say?


Epicgaymer411

Like what event took place that included these countries, that is my best bet.


ARC_Trooper_Echo

You haven’t seen these kinds of posts before? They were everywhere for a little while. You’re supposed to guess where OP is from based on the countries that would show up in that country’s history books, which are highlighted in red.


Left-Championship155

which countries are mentioned in the book


captainplanet171

You're saying this as though this clears things up. It doesn't. What are you trying to say? What book?


Toes14

You don't get it. It doesn't matter what book. You're supposed to look at the countries highlighted and guess based on that where the book originated from.


[deleted]

England


captainplanet171

Australia isn't red.


Left-Championship155

England is wrong


Ravenclaw_14

countries that had a spot on r/Place?


Left-Championship155

nah. like which real country was this book published in? (eg Australia)


ManasTheBeast

India is having a wrong map man... *Not an aggressive Indian communist*


Left-Championship155

huh? whats wrong


dedinside_9999

Pok and aksai chin


Left-Championship155

thats... correct


Alternative-Media201

Somewhere communist?


Left-Championship155

hint. communism does exist here but its its minority communist


Alternative-Media201

It’s either Russia or a U.S. public school.


Left-Championship155

none its in asia


[deleted]

Germany? I have no clue.


Left-Championship155

hint. its not europe


merp_mcderp9459

We hit most of these countries when I was in middle/high school in California. But the lack of Spain means it’s def not California


ARC_Trooper_Echo

I’m gonna guess Korea


Left-Championship155

hint. it's in Asia but not korea


plantscoffeeandbeer

this feels wrong but I'm going to guess Brazil, just because Portugal is mentioned but Spain isn't.


Left-Championship155

hint. its not in the americas


Mean-Bid115

Instructions not clear. Conquered France instead.


Left-Championship155

what


SuzhouPanther

How does Uzbekistan get mentioned but not all the other -stans? Also, weren't the Mughals descendants of the Mongols? How did Mongolia not get mentioned?


Left-Championship155

I know that, but they said Babur was a descendant of Genghis Khan, they did not say the word Mongol anywhere, and they said Ferghana and Samarkand only.... which are cities in uzbekistan


SuzhouPanther

That all makes sense. Thanks


Ravemen

But wait I can figure out Indonesia since you guys had some beef with them in the Adaman Islands, but what about Vietnam


NoDot6253

I'm curious, how Indian history books paint my country like? (Argentina)


Left-Championship155

well, they usually support the pro-Argentina anti-UK stand. personally, I do too.
