Events placed in the state whose land they happened on
- Investigate
- Data and accuracy
Where the atlas places an event, a person or a natural disaster in a state by the historical borders, it now reads only that state's own land, as the map has since the last release. Land the borders dataset files under one state because two states were bound by an alliance or an allegiance no longer makes the first of them the host, and a state's dependencies count as its land only in a year the dataset draws none of its own.
- The Tumu Crisis of 1449 is the Ming's rather than Joseon's, the Battle of Ankara the Timurids' rather than Georgia's, the first Muslim conquest of Jerusalem the Byzantine Empire's rather than the Sasanians', the Battle of Morgarten the Holy Roman Empire's rather than Bohemia's, and the London Beer Flood of 1814 the United Kingdom's rather than the Hawaiian Kingdom's.
- Where two states' lands overlap, the smaller is read first, so the North Sea flood of 1962 is West Germany's and the Berlin Crisis of 1961 East Germany's, where both had been read as an occupying power's.
- People and events in Britain belong to the British state of their year - the Kingdom of Great Britain, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, then the United Kingdom - rather than to the British Empire; Jane Austen is the first's and Winston Churchill the second's.
- About 380 entries name a different host state, and the theories and the measures of unstable successions that read a state's conditions were worked out again. Earthquakes, eruptions and tsunamis from the hazard catalogue are placed the same way, and none is placed in an alliance's land any more.
