European Empires, 1700
Five European powers claimed most of the known world by 1700, and students rarely grasp how tangled those claims were until they see them side by side. This classroom wall map from Kappa Map Group’s Classroom Series color codes each empire so a class can compare reach at a glance, then connect it to colonial trade, rivalry, and the wars that followed.
