Summary

DescriptionCivilizations map.png	English: A map of civilizations, loosely based (see below) on Huntington's 1996 "Clash of Civilizations" (p. 26). The NINE "civilizations" identified by Huntington are: Western Latin American Japanese Sinic Hindu Islamic (green). Note: Huntington considers Turkey and Iran to be special cases, and assigns them to its own group. Orthodox (medium-light blue) African (brown) Buddhist (yellow) Other colors should indicate (light green, turquoise) the cultural fault lines where the clash of civilizations will occur. There are nine blocks shown in the original 1996 map. The additional colors, including the "fault line" countries in light green or turquoise are due to the judgement of the uploaders/creators of this map, not to Huntington. Other differences from the original map: the Philippines are shown as "Sinic" on the interior but "Western" along the coastlines Israel is shown as "Western" India (The Republic of India) is shown as being "Hindu"; Nepal and Sri Lanka are also shown as "Hindu" Bosnia-Herzegovina is shown as "Orthodox" Tibet is shown as "Sinic" Southern Sudan and southern Chad are shown as "African", but northern Nigeria and Burkina Faso are shown as "Muslim" As a consequence of these differences, this map should not be used in a context that suggests that it represents the situation as described by Huntington (1996). Español: Un mapa de civilizaciones, basado libremente (ver abajo) en el "Choque de civilizaciones" de Huntington en 1996 (p.26). Las NUEVE "civilizaciones" identificadas por Huntington son: Occidental Latinoamericana Japonesa Asiática Hindú Islámica (verde). Nota: Huntington considera que Turquía e Irán son casos especiales y los asigna a su propio grupo. Ortodoxa (celeste) Africana (marrón) Budista (amarillo) Otros colores deben indicar (verde claro, turquesa) las fallas culturales donde ocurriera el choque de civilizaciones. Hay nueve bloques que se muestran en el mapa original de 1996. Los colores adicionales, incluidos los países de la "línea de falla" en color verde claro o turquesa, se deben a la opinión de los usuarios/creadores de este mapa, no a Huntington. Otras diferencias del mapa original: Las Filipinas se muestran como "Asiática" en el interior pero "Occidental" a lo largo de las costas Israel se muestra como "occidental" India (La República de India) se muestra como "Hindú"; Nepal y Sri Lanka también se muestran como "Hindú" Bosnia-Herzegovina se muestra como "Ortodoxa" Tibet se muestra como "Asiática" El sur de Sudán y el sur de Chad se muestran como "Africana", pero el norte de Nigeria y Burkina Faso se muestran como "Musulmana" Como consecuencia de estas diferencias, este mapa no debe utilizarse en un contexto que sugiera que representa la situación descrita por Huntington (1996).

current	19:49, 16 May 2020	1,427 × 634 (41 KB)	Babelia	According to the book, Argentina is Latin American (despite the white majority and the southern European cultural influence)
	04:01, 27 March 2019	1,427 × 634 (37 KB)	Enterlousy	Since this is based LOOSELY on "Clash of Civilizations" I made some adjustments. As in the book, Mindanao is Islamic. However, Argentina should be Western, due to heavy Italian, German, and French influence due to immigration.

	19:39, 19 July 2013	1,427 × 634 (38 KB)	Quite vivid blur	Updated map to include South Sudan, corrections according to Samuel P. Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations.
	10:27, 9 May 2013	1,427 × 634 (50 KB)	Valentinian	Rv one edit. Huntington very expressly assigns Turkey to its own category.
	10:40, 8 March 2013	1,427 × 634 (50 KB)	Maphobbyist	Adjusted the green color for Turkey to the same hue used for Muslim countries.

	19:58, 12 November 2012	1,427 × 742 (54 KB)	Wester	map is based on a book
	11:09, 16 September 2012	1,427 × 742 (62 KB)	23prootie~commonswiki	South Sudan is African.
	22:02, 31 July 2012	1,427 × 742 (35 KB)	Carnby	Added South Sudan border since this map is based on present day political world map; probably it would have been better to choose a map with the borders of Huntington's times
