# Armed Combat-Flagging Sites Conflict History Uses Google Maps to Track the History of War By Michael Hines | Published 2011-04-09 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conflict-history References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/sly/world-wars-meet-google-maps) & [conflicthistory](http://www.conflicthistory.com/#/period/1801-1813) Conflict History is a new website that makes use of Google Maps to show you a worldwide view of armed conflicts around the world, from 4000 B.C. to the present day. Needless to say, not much of merit happened from 4000 B.C. to 3000 B.C. Conflict History provides a location of each conflict and a synopsis of what went down. This website is a great resource for those looking to brush up on their country's military history. If you are a history geek who is tired of endlessly clicking through [Wikipedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globe-explorer) articles, this is the site for you. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Virtual Historical Tours:** Opportunity to create virtual historical tours using Google Maps and detailed historical data. - **Interactive Conflict Education:** Opportunity to create online educational tools that leverage visual and map-based displays. - **Data Visualization:** Opportunity to create dynamic data visualization tools to display and organize conflicts in a meaningful way. ### Where This Applies - **Education:** Conflict History could help educators create interactive, visual lesson plans for a range of students. - **Tourism:** Using the platform to create virtual tours for a range of travelers looking for historically-rich destinations. - **Journalism:** Provide a digital database of conflicts and provide journalists with a way to tell compelling visual stories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Historical Mapping Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastmaps.md) - [Historical Photographic Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/historical-street-view.md) - [Firearm Policy Mapping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-gun-zones-map-tool.md) - [Location-Based Historical Audios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/histories-app.md) - [Location Tracking Analytics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timeline-analytics.md) - [Engaging Travel Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-maps.md) - [Global Election Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-election-map.md) - [Time-Traveling Internet Searches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/search-a-year.md) - [AI Map-Making Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mapstory.md)
