- → A was the last colonial power of B · ← B of A · → earlier / ← earlier = an earlier colonial power (≥25 years, ended after 1750) · = one state before (empire, union, split state) · — none
- Reliability
- medium — published rule (whole/main territory; occupation and partial annexation not counted) over CEPII 2011 raw coding with own corrections; sensitive cases carry a dated note in the cell
- Coverage
- 100 % of 39,402 directed cells have a known answer
- Refresh
