Provides an interactive map of all the battles in history of mankind
the monster web-platform data analysis and visualization Nodegoat presented an interactive map of all battles in the history of mankind.
Source of information for Nodegoat steel records 8049 battles (2500 BC to 2015 ad), presented in the online encyclopedias Wikipedia and DBpedia. However, the program was able to localize in space and time only 2657 battles.
On the map you can not only choose the region, but also to ask the historical period. Putting on a tag battle, the user sees a window that shows the name and a link to an article about him in the online encyclopedia. In addition, the program helps to find little-known battle in exotic parts of the world.
The resulting pattern for all its fragmentation allows to draw some conclusions. For example, most battles in North America took place during the conquest of the continent by Europeans, the military violence in Europe is cyclical, and most famous battles in the South-East Asia have been in the last few centuries. Many armed clashes took place in the country's history, were not included in the map.
Not war!

I found this map very informative. I never thought about the pattern this map shows. I knew that there were many wars in European history, but I never thought of the U.S. as being the second most frequent battle area. Nice post!

Keep up the great work @zukary
