Map shows how long it took to travel the world in 1914

Interesting that it took 40 days to get to northern Africa despite its relatively close proximity to western Europe.

I am guessing 1914 Northern Africa was not as nice as it is now. Probably an issue with roads.

Infrastructure in general I think. The articles mentions railways, which seem to help a lot towards shorter travel times.

I remember it from earlier this month. Really interesting graphic.

Good catch! Apparently I develop link fatigue after 2 hops.

That makes this a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10647586, which also explains why users flagged it.

In 1873 it took 80 days, or so I hear.
