- the first map the political map of the world in 1914 gives a lot of insight on how the world was controlled. 1914 was the start of the World War I and a key player in this, Germany had a lot of possessions. along with them the Britian had quite a few possession as well. this lets me as historian see that during the war Germany was able to get multiple resources as well as troops and alliances. the second map shows a great change from the first one. this world and major empires still had holdings but there were a bit more balance. also the idea of national corporations came into play where in some cases they had more power than actually countries.
