Equatorial Guinea, on the map of history

What was Equatorial Guinea before it was Equatorial Guinea? Below, every era of this land in the Maps of History collection — who ruled it, what it was called, and when control changed — each line linked to the dated map that shows it. Modern borders stand in as an honest approximation; every atlas says so on the map itself.
