So in 2022, nothing happened in Ukraine, and in 2020, nothing happened in Azerbaijan.

I like how they have delimiting lines for Abkhazia and South Ossetia, but not coloring. Same for Kosovo.
Nothing of significance has ever happened in Bosnia.
Apparently, in 1984 Turkey has deoccupied North Cyprus.
Taiwan is China, nothing to see here.
Makes me think this map is ill-suited to display late XX century conflicts onwards.

This is technically correct as far as I’m aware, as both the PRC and ROC claim that they are the legitimate government of both China and Taiwan. China and Taiwan are operated with separate governments and are effectively separate countries, but politically it’s quite a mess. Few countries recognize Taiwan as a separate country from China officially, even if that’s what they believe off the record.
