This beautiful historical map of Africa by National Geographic shows the continent as it looked in 1909. At that time, the "Dark Continent" was barely known in the outside world. Here you will find the country borders of the independent states and the Congo state as well as areas under the control of Egypt, England, Germany, Spain, Italy, Turkey, France and Portugal. In addition, the steamship lines, cable and telegraph lines and railway lines - including the planned - are marked.
