History of wars in maps

Wars appeared in the world at a time when people began to cultivate the land and build the first villages and cities. They competed with each other for territory, resources, power, the preservation of their own lives and freedom – and unfortunately they still do it today. Violent conflicts are a permanent part of human history and cannot be avoided without weapons, capable commanders, or good planning. But good maps are equally indispensable.

Maps depicting battles first appeared in ancient times and have since informed us not only about the course of battles, but also about how the parties involved wanted to present their victory or defeat to the world. So let' s use them to learn about the fascinating stories of the wars of ancient empires, the way medieval kingdoms fought, the rivalry of colonial empires, and even modern global conflicts!

This book captures over 2,000 years of history and compiles over 70 historical maps that tell the fascinating story of the war: from ancient and medieval warfare to contemporary global conflicts.
