Problem with France

There is a little mistake in this map : In 1980, France doen't belongs anymore to OTAN. France quited OTAN in 1966. --Guillaume Dürr (talk) 20:45, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Israel and Northern Ireland

What do the green "x"s on Israel and Northern Ireland indicate? --Quintucket (talk) 15:59, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

First, do not use derogatory terms for the multiplication sign, please. Second, look on the rightmost column of legend table: × means "Other conflicts". Incnis Mrsi (talk) 13:33, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

I really don't get your gripe about my calling an "x" an "x." Whether the Unicode character is for the multiplication sign or an "x," there's no way to tell without looking at the code, no reason to violate Occam's Razor (if it looks like an "x," im absence of other information it's probably an "x", and no reason to care about terminology if it turns out that the svg code has the Unicode for a multiplication sign.

Also, I got what the sign means, but I suppose I phrased the question poorly. To clarify, I wanted to know why are those two conflicts included on a map of the Cold War. On reflection I sort understand the reason for the inclusion of the Israel/Palestine conflict (the PLO weren't really communist guerillas but were supported by the Soviet Union), but I don't understand why the Troubles are included at all. —Quintucket (talk) 04:08, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Cambodia

What about then-active conflict between Khmer nationalists and Vietnamese occupants? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 13:33, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

India

India was a non aligned nation but the file shows it as an ally of USSR, Indian government never uses the word "Ally" to any country and its relations with any other country instead it uses the word "Partner". - True. What is the basis of this map?. India is once of founding members of non-aligned movement in 1961. Which clearly indicates the national policy.

Hong Kong and Macau

The role of Hong Kong and Macau. Then overseas territory of United Kingdom and Portugal, was not shown. H.C. (talk) 08:00, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Legend

Looking at the legend in English it lists 'China with Albania' however reading the French and Spanish sections they translate to 'China and it's allies', while I see that China and Albania are the only ones in yellow, I'm trying to figure out if there's something I'm not getting as it should either be 'China and Albania' or 'China and it's allies'. Can't say I know too much about Chinese-Albanian relations, at that time or current, so I'm not sure if they were allied to each other or simply different from the Non-Aligned Movement, but yet together.

Non-Aligned

Wouldn't it be better to use another colour than pale blue for the Non-Aligned countries ? Pale red in this map is for allies of the USSR, so pale blue looks as though it means allies of the USA. Aridd (talk) 17:13, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Communist guerrillas in Thailand and the Philippines

Why the relatively small guerrilla in Myanmar is indicated, while the more signicative communist guerrillas in Thailand and the Philippines are not? These two should probably be indicated. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 176.139.81.223 (talk) 21:23, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Anti-Communist Guerrilas (RENAMO) in Mozambique

Why doesn't the map show the anti communist insurgency in Mozambique during the Mozambican Civil War. BurtMingus (talk) 04:41, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Major Mistakes: Kaliningrad and France

The region of Kaliningrad is disconnected from mainland USSR by a border for some reason, please fix. With the topic of France, it was indeed not a NATO member from 1966 to 2009, so this map is flawed. The fact that here, the French Republic is inside of NATO, can bring a lot of confusion and can cause a lot of school projects to be flawed, and it can even end up becoming a major problem like the Austro-Hungarian Civil Ensign being considered their historical flag now. 84.90.178.233 18:20, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Actually France only withdrew it's military from the NATO command structure and instead put it under French command and the country continued to be an active meber of NATO. https://shape.nato.int/page214871012 JeremyBaker1234567 (talk) 10:50, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
