Critical Error: Turkey Borders in 1930 and 1938 are completely wrong #52

Hi André,

I am using your historical-basemaps repository for a project, but there are major historical inaccuracies regarding Turkey.

In the 1930 file, Turkey is labeled as "Ottoman Empire" or "Ottoman Sultanate". The Republic of Turkey was founded in 1923. The Ottoman Empire did not exist in 1930.

In the 1938 file, the borders of Turkey appear fragmented (similar to the Treaty of Sèvres or occupation zones). By 1938, Turkey had unified borders (almost identical to modern borders, excluding Hatay).

Could you please fix these geojson files? It creates misleading maps for anyone using this data.

Thanks.
