What is HistoryMaps?
HistoryMaps is meant to be an informative way to experience history geographically.
Why?
So much of history is determined by where things happened, and oftentimes locations of where events occured reveal much to us about how certain things unfolded.
What things can be learned by comparing and contrasting geographic aspects of history?
The development and downfall of civilizations, the ways in which cultures trade and assimilate values, and political boundaries, all shape history simply by proximity.
