NEW MAP: Europe 1812: French retreat from Moscow (24 October 1812) https://omniatlas.com/maps/europe/18121024/ Despite the French capture of Moscow, the Russians refused to negotiate and Napoleon eventually realized that he had no option but to withdraw. In late October 1812 the French marched southwest towards Kaluga, in the hope of taking a fresh route back west, but were halted at Maloyaroslavets. Persuaded that the Kaluga road was no longer viable, Napoleon now decided to return along the same route he had come, a path already devastated by his advance. #1810s #1812 #19thcentury #atlas #europe #europeanhistory #france #history #historyclass #historygram #historyinthemaking #historylesson #historylover #historyschool #historyteacher #maps #napoleon #napoleonic #napoleonicwars #october #october24 #frenchhistory #russianempire #peninsularwar #strategy #militaryhistory #welovehistory #worldhistory #newmap (at Maloyaroslavets)

NEW MAP: Europe 1812: Battle of Berezina (26 November 1812) https://buff.ly/3xEUvdU Suffering from the winter, exhausted supply lines, and repeated Russian attacks, the French retreat from Moscow soon degenerated into a disaster. In late November Napoleon narrowly managed to escape across the Berezina, evading a last Russian attempt to destroy his army but losing half his remaining troops. The emperor then raced back to Paris to raise new recruits while the remnants of his Grande Armée—some 10,000 of the over 400,000 who had marched on Moscow just months before—crossed out of Russia. #1810s #1812 #19thcentury #atlas #bonaparte #europe #europeanhistory #france #frenchhistory #frenchempire #frenchrevolution #historic #historisch #historyclass #historyfacts #historymaker #historymatters #historyteacher #janeausten #mapmaking #maps #militaryhistory #napoleon #napoleoni #napoleonic #napoleonicwars #november #november26 #russianempire #newmap (at Borisov, Belarus)

NEW MAP: Europe 297: Second Battle of Carrhae (spring 297) https://buff.ly/3ixbf2X In late 296 war broke out between Sasanian Persia and the Roman Empire. Distracted by a revolt in Egypt in early 297, Diocletian sent Galerius with a reduced force to confront the Persians. Galerius met Shah Narseh in battle between Carrhae and Callinicum, but was heavily defeated. #thirdcentury #ancientrome #diocletian #galerius #easternromanempire #europe #europeanhistory #gaul #historias #historicalmap #historicalplace #histories #history #historyclass #historylesson #historymajor #historyschool #sasanianempire #sasanid #maps #mesopotamia #roman #romanbritain #romancivilwar #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #teachinghistory #ancientarmenia #newmap (at Carrhae)

NEW MAP: Europe 280: Proculus and Bonosus (late 280) https://buff.ly/32MMiXX Following his victories over the Germanic tribes, Probus headed east to confront the Persians. However, as he approached Syria in 280, news of renewed unrest in the west forced him to turn back. This time two usurpers, Proculus and Bonosus, had risen up in Gaul. It’s unclear as to whether or not the two were aligned; either way, Probus defeated them both by 281. #thirdcentury #ancientrome #3rdcentury #europe #europeanhistory #gaul #franks #goths #ancientgaul #historicalmaps #historie #historisch #historyclass #historydegree #historyinthemaking #historylovers #germania #map #mapping #maps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #romanemperor #caesar #spqr #newmap (at Lugdunum)

NEW MAP: Europe 276: Probus vs Florian (August 276) https://buff.ly/3uCtuH2 Tacitus was succeeded by his half-brother Florian, who was almost immediately challenged by the general Probus. Although Probus was only recognized in a few eastern provinces, and had a much smaller army, he quickly outmaneuvered and deposed Florian to become the sole emperor in September 276. #thirdcentury #3rdcentury #antiquity #ancientrome #aegyptus #europe #europeanhistory #historias #historicalmaps #historyclass #historyfacts #historygram #historylesson #historymaker #map #mapmaking #maps #romansyria #phoenicia #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #romanemperor #spqr #teachinghistory #worldatlas #newmap (at Antioch, Turkey)

Asia Pacific 83 years ago today: Battle of Tai'erzhuang (7 April 1938) https://buff.ly/3rX3bcH Despite the outcry over the fall of Shanghai and the Rape of Nanking, the Western powers were not prepared to intervene against Japan. However there was some hope for the Chinese - in April their troops managed their first major victory, defeating the Japanese at Tai'erzhuang and temporarily preventing the connection of the two Japanese armies. #1930s #1938 #20thcentury #april #april7 #asiapacific #atlas #axisallies #cartografia #chinesecivilwar #chiangkaishek #chinesehistory #nazigermany #historyclass #historygeek #historymajor #historymaker #historymatters #historymuseum #empireofjapan #japanesehistory #mapa #maps #sinojapanesewar #japaneseempire #ww2 #wwii #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall)
