Geography's Role in Modern Wars
According to Tim Marshall, geography still plays a significant role in modern wars, despite advancements in technology such as drones.
The distance between combatants has always been a key factor in warfare, with each technological era bringing new ways to overcome geographical barriers.
From spears to bows and arrows, and later to rifles and cannons, geography has consistently had an impact on the outcome of battles.
Rivers, mountains and deserts were barriers – sometimes impossible to cross.
While technology has helped to overcome these barriers, with innovations such as railways, roads, and runways, geography remains a crucial factor in determining the outcome of wars.
