Project description
The project deals with the analysis of military maps that illustrate not only the historical development of cartography but also serve as a historical source that documents important historical events, military strategies, war conflicts and their consequences. By analyzing maps in a number of domestic and foreign archives, the aim is to provide an overview of the history of mapping military issues in the broadest sense, as well as to evaluate the mentioned maps as a source for military history, geography of warfare and military strategy in general.
