Source details

Cliopatria contributors / Seshat Global History Databank. CC BY4.0 · Dated polity and constituent territory selections; campaign-dependent occupation overlays reconstructed separately.

Unassigned civil-war gaps in the annual vector source are rebuilt within the prewar imperial outline, excluding dated neighbouring states. Campaign maps determine Red and White control.

The Brest-Litovsk layer shows the source’s March–May 1918 occupation campaign envelope, rather than presenting it as the treaty text’s exact line on a single day.

Civil-war lines show the published campaign phase. Port, railway and uprising footprints represent thematic military-presence regions; their stated widths do not claim surveyed political frontiers.
