Borderlands: The New Strategic Landscape

Alec Castagno's curator insight, December 12, 2014 12:43 PM

The historical background of geopolitics in Europe and America's role offers excellent insight into what is going on with Russia and why. Russia lost its coveted buffer zones with the fall of the Soviet Union, and given their historical importance to the Russians we can see the driving factors of their recent aggression in the region. The article also provides good analysis of America's past actions in the region, and uses it to explain our current position and what might come next.

Browse the timeline of war and conflict across the globe.

 

This database of global wars and conflicts is searchable through space and time.  You can drag and click both the map and timeline to locate particular battles and wars, and then read more information about that conflict.  This resource would be a great one to show students and let them explore to find what they see as interesting.  This site is brimming with potential.

the potential of this site is amazing between the interactive learning system and the correlation between the timeline and location. If the human geography class is anything like this i can't wait for it!
