In this Scholar's Online video, Jennifer Fluri briefly answers this question: How has Afghanistan's geography affected its history? This video nicely shows how contested international disputes have geographic dimensions to them. The very borders of Afghanistan were created out of geopolitical maneuverings.

Utiliser Google Earth pour cartographier l'itinéraire de personnages de fiction, afin de mêler géographie et littérature.

Google Earth is a great teaching tool for geographers, but it is also a way to bring geography and spatial thinking to other disciplines. Google Lit Trips makes the journeys that take place in literature (both fiction and non-fiction) all the more real by mapping out the movements as a KML file that can be viewed in Google Earth. By embedding pictures, websites, videos and text into the path, this becomes an incredibly interactive resource for teachers of all levels. Tags: google, virtual tours, English, edtech.

What I find to be the most interesting aspect of this animation is that each fluctuation of the border has a story behind it. You could teach a really interesting class on just those small changes, and why they took place.

In 2008 Oxford University launched The Great War Archive. This publicly sourced online collection of documents and artefacts funded by JISC, sat alongside The First World War Poetry Digital Archive, containing images of manuscripts and biographies of poets. The idea was subsequently taken up by Europeana, Europe's digital library and museum, as a major project to 'crowdsource' material across the Continent relating to 1914 ' 1918. In Germany in 2011 this became known as Erster Weltkrieg in Allertagsdokumenten ; the 'First World War in Everyday Documents'. By mid- 2012 the scheme had extended to Luxembourg; Ireland; the UK; Slovenia, Denmark, Belgium and Italy, with a current total... Via Groyer Delete the scoop?

This set of old "anti-suffrage" propaganda might seem funny, quaint or old-fashioned from our modern lens (or infuriatingly patriarchal), but they are also great primary document to examine the cultural values and political climate of the United States at the turn of the century (even that phrase is old-fashioned and now out of date).

HISTOIRE-HDA Première La Seconde Guerre mondiale La ville écrin de l'Art
Un article en anglais sur le travail de Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse, photographe néerlandais spécialisé dans le "then and now" (littéralement "avant et maintenant"), technique qui consiste à intégrer des photographies anciennes dans le présent. Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse parcourt donc l'Europe sur les traces des lieux de la Seconde Guerre mondiale (1939-1945) pour ouvrir, du présent, une fenêtre sur le passé. La confrontation des deux époques est frappante et peut très bien s'inscrire dans la thématique de la "Ville meurtrie".
La page Flickr de Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse propose plus de 300 photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hab3045

This is very interesting because I had no idea that the United States had gone under such transformation. Even within certain borders, there is much change in respect to who the area belongs to. You definitely have to watch it a few times to get the full affect though.

Although the moving image makes it hard to actually pinpoint the U.S expansion at specific dates, I don't think that is the point of the map. The point of the map is to show how many times territories have changed, etc. I really like the map.. I have never seen anything like it.

The United States has changed drastically through the years with state borders, but I noticed that the regions' labels of the country are still similar today. For example, the southwest is much more divided today but still classified as a region with plenty of Spanish culture.

This link is a companion site to the book, "Mapping the Nation: History & Cartography in 19th Century America" by Susan Schulten. The author and publisher have made all of the images available digitally, and they are organized by chapter as well as chronologically. This a great resource to find some of the important maps that shaped America and help mold the manner in which we conceptualize America. Geography and history teachers alike will be able to draw on these materials. The chapters include: The Graphic Foundations of American History Capturing the Past Through Maps Disease, Expansion and the Rise of Environmental Mapping Slavery and the Origin of Statistical Cartography The Cartographic Consolidating of America
