Cape Province

Where it sits in time

Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold, what it replaced or followed and what replaced or followed it in grey.

Before and after

The states the record files it as replacing or following, and those that replaced or followed it - Wikidata's own statements, each read from this state's side.

How it ended, as its article says

Partitioned by Eastern Cape, 1994. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

In 1994, the Cape Province was divided into the new Eastern Cape, Northern Cape and Western Cape provinces, along with part of the North West.

Flags and arms, in order

Each symbol with the years its own statement gives; the timeline flies the one of the year on screen.

Among all states

Each measure against the states that carry it, never against all of them: a bar is the share of those states below this one.

  stood longer than 43% of 3,187 states with a recorded end or still standing.

• Wars recorded per centurynone

  had more wars on record per century than 44% of 3,187 states, counting the wars the atlas hosts under each.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 1 cause the record names and 4 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
