SAME LAND, DIFFERENT WORLDS

Civilizations, flags & standards

Practice this section around the world →

Modern borders are a starting point for exploring the past. These cultures and states occupied some of the same land; they were not the same country. Dates describe each civilization or state as a whole, not continuous rule over every place listed.

No single national flag

Maya civilization

Preclassic c. 2000 BCE–250 CE; Classic c. 250–900 CE; later kingdoms continued

Southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and parts of Honduras and El Salvador; many separate polities, not one Maya empire. Maya peoples and cultures continue today.

Royal emblems and glyphs identified particular rulers and cities. No single flag represented this entire civilization.

Wars and conflicts

Conflicts this country is attached to. Click one to see the others. Each says what kind of claim it is: a principal belligerent is hand-checked against the modern state that succeeded the power that fought, while a recorded participant comes from the bulk import, which does not separate combat from funding, basing, occupation or reconstruction. Neither list is complete, so a country missing from a war may still have taken part — which is why the quiz no longer asks who fought in what.
