State of East Sumatra

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

Conquered by Republic, 1950. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

In August, 1950, it was absorbed into the Republic as part of the province of North Sumatra.

Rulers

Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.

1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1947 – 1950. Only 3 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

Flag or arms

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.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 1 cause the record names and 1 result, 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.
