#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣1️⃣: Conflict

I figured a lot of mappers will create maps about recent wars and conflicts so I decided to create a map about #WorldWarI and see if #Wikidata is a good enough source for its battles, conflicts, and military operations.

I also wanted to know if there are any open data sources for historical borders, and I found one, CShapes! icr.ethz.ch/data/cshapes/

🧵 1/2

Map of Europe titled “Battles of the Great War (According to Wikidata)” showing the national borders as of 1914 and with red dots pinpointing the location of the said battles

@seav Thank you so much for pointing me to the CShapes package! I’ve been looking for shape files of the late Ottoman Empire for years.

@seav Just spun up while waiting for the kid at the public pool and was finally able to quickly plot the distribution of Arabic periodicals on a political map for 1900. is amazing!!!!

icr.ethz.ch/data/cshapes/

Political map of the larger region around the Mediterranean showing political boarders in 1900 based on the CShapes package in R. Dots of different colour and size show the number of Arabic periodical titles published at a given location until 1930.
