The map is color–coded to show countries having foreign or colonial possessions, including the British, United States, German, Russian, French, Dutch, Danish, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Belgian territorial claims. The great trunk railway trade lines and over sea trade routes are shown, as well as the principal coaling stations outside Europe (the necessary ports where steamships replenished coal supplies).
