NEW MAP: Europe 1814: Treaty of Kiel (14 January 1814) https://buff.ly/38JC9io In late 1813 allied Sweden invaded the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, forcing Denmark to sue for peace. By the Treaty of Kiel, Denmark agreed to cede Norway to Sweden and Heligoland to Britain. Coupled with the defection of Naples a few days earlier, this treaty left Napoleon bereft of allies in Europe. #1810s #1814 #19thcentury #austrianempire #cartographic #cartography #historyofdenmark #europe #europeanhistory #faroeislands #france #greenland #historyofnorway #history #historybuff #historylover #historyoficeland #instahistory #january #january14 #map #mapmaking #maps #napoleon #norwegianhistory #napoleonicwars #swedishhistory #swedishpomerania #britishempire #newmap (at Kiel, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMeIVu7AB5O/?igshid=1vgjdxg63guxo
NEW MAP: Europe 273: Revolt of Firmus (July 273) https://buff.ly/3ete3vW No sooner had Aurelian crossed into Europe after his defeat of Zenobia, than Palmyra rebelled again. Racing back east, the emperor sacked the city in retribution, only to face a pro-Palmyrene uprising in Egypt. This too Aurelian crushed, although in the fighting the Brucheion quarter of Alexandria, which housed the famous Great Library, was almost entirely destroyed. #thirdcentury #ancientrome #romanegypt #ancientegypt #aurelian #cartography #dacia #europe #europeanhistory #historia #historian #historic #historylesson #historylover #historymaker #historymatters #spqr #classicalera #map #mapping #maps #alexandria #palmyra #roman #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #romansyria #greatlibrary #newmap (at Alexandria, Egypt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMT2eArgY9b/?igshid=fcuqbsbqgn9k
