Maps of War

Maps of War

Who has controlled the Middle East over the course of history? Pretty much everyone. Egyptians, Turks, Jews, Romans, Arabs, Greeks, Persians, Europeans…the list goes on.

A really cool map that shows the range of empires ruling the Middle East over the last 5000 years.  It’s animated and attached to timeline.  A nice way to review time lines, geography,  colonialism etc.

AP News + Google Maps

A neat way to combine geography and current events.  AP news stories are plotted on a google.maps map.

Google.maps VA SOL Mash Up

This site will be evolving pretty quickly. I’m going to add the various locations from the VA history SOLs. Hopefully I’ll also be able to add some other interesting functions. It will be changing quite a bit as things progress so check back every once in a while.

Be sure to click on the red markers and to click and drag the map to move it around.
