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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 To me, the Mongolians are still the most impressive for the sheer scale of their empire.. like you said, that on horseback! Incredible really. Then the British Empire of course [ATTACH=CONFIG]138164[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
