The map above, shows the various electrical plugs and sockets used around the world. As you can see, few countries use just one type of plug or socket.
And:
The map was created by us by combining this map from Wikipedia, along with plug and socket types from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Here’s a link to the map. For more detail, check this Wikipedia page. Bookmark ’em both.

Wrong about the UK; they also use C. you only see it in bathrooms. Wrong about France; they use C, D, and E, but they can be either two- or three-pronged. The examples are only two-pronged. I don’t think the US is correct either. I don’t recall US plugs having two different sized prongs.
Modern US plugs have two different-sized prongs. Grounded US plugs have three.
Woof. Shopping for adapters for our UK/Belgium/Netherlands trip last autumn sure was fun. At least we’d already done the UK part.
How long have they had the different sized prongs? It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the US. But I sometimes get tech devices with several plugs, and the US plugs have same sized prongs.
Long enough for me to suspect that when I see one, it’s usually connected to either an antique or an outlier.
