Timeline Map Example

I always had a fascination with historical maps, of how the boundaries of nations and States shifted over the course of history. For this week's example map, Timemaps has a plethora of interactive maps displaying the emerging, changing, and disappearing boundaries of the nations of the world. The link I posted goes to the page on Europe, partly because my favorite period in history takes place during the post-Roman world, to see all the different emerging and fragmenting kingdoms that come to fill the void of the Roman Empires.
