In this map, every area that's not colored brown is the area inhabited by that country's dominant ethnic group in 1914. Brown is every ethnic group that was a minority or a colonized population. As you can see, most of the world was colonized and controlled by several ethnic groups in 1914.

Does dominant mean by population or socially dominant?

If you mean socially dominant than I'm not sure if mulattoes could be consider dominant in Brazil: While most white Brazilians have at least 10% Subsaharan and/or indigenous DNA, racial categories are quite blurry and change according to social status and we had a couple of presidents who could be considered mulattoes (though they did not consider themselves as such), probably the dominant ethnic group at the time were white Portuguese-Brazilians.

I screwed up there, I guess. I went with light skinned Brazilians as a total. I guess Mexico is similar, with the whites as the socially dominant group.

I'm not sure what you did with the Flemings. It looks like you colored them green and the rest of Belgium in brown? The balance between Dutch-speaking and French-speaking people in Belgium has always been complicated. What I learned in school (Flanders) was that at that time, Flemings needed to learn to speak French if they wanted to join the elite. Dutch was recognised as an equally official language of Belgium in 1898, but French was used by the elite for official business until 1921. Most remarkable was that the officers leading the Belgian army during WW1 couldn't communicate properly with their own soldiers. Those soldiers were drafted from the Dutch-speaking majority, and the officers usually were part of a French-speaking elite. But if you're speaking about regionality instead of culture (language), you are maybe correct. The region of Wallonia was actually under-represented in the Belgian government around that time, so the Walloons had their grievances too, but that was just one of the many many issues during the development of Belgian politics. I would never go as far as saying the Walloons were socially suppressed by the Flemings at that time, but maybe I am biased as a Fleming myself, and you have a different view from the outside?

You also picked a particular hard time for China on how to color it. I thought the Manchu's were a different ethnic group from the Han. Or were the Han already the major ethnicity in Manchuria in 1914?

During the late Qing dynasty, even though the royal elite was of Manchu origin, they no longer spoke Manchu. I guess Manchuria was mostly sinicized during the 19th and early 20th century. The Manchu language is virtually extinct after all.

I thought Walloons were dominant up to the 1960's. One of my father's friends was studying in Leuven iin 1968, and recalls the protests and the French University being expelled

Hi! Can you please post the similar map you made but for modern day countries/dominant groups at timestamp 2:50 in 5 Countries that will Collapse by 2040? I'd love to see it in higher quality and see the groups/labels that are a bit harder to read.
