AJI Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Interesting vid here showing the development of the world's country borders and power domains across a long historic period of time. (In terms of civilisation that is). http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/ZS07dO-XWTA/ Amazing to see how back in the BC period with only horse-back and foot as a mode of transport across the Eurasia continent that how any force can control such a huge area of land.

AJI Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 I find it interesting to see how Russia grabbed a large plot of land all of a sudden. With all that land and the opportunity for the ground resources Russia looks pretty good for the future centuries ahead. I wonder how the USA in the future will attempt to claim WMDs in order they can grab their oil? j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible really. Then the British Empire of course [ATTACH=CONFIG]138164[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
