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 313: Battle of Tzirallum (30 April 313) https://buff.ly/2Wg5UUN Constantine’s capture of Rome established his preeminence among the three Augusti. Realizing that Constantine and Licinius were colluding against him, Maximinus Daza crossed into Europe in the spring of 313 but was decisively defeated by Licinius at Tzirallum. Maximinus was the last Roman emperor to persecute Christians; following his downfall, Christianity began to emerge as the dominant religion in the empire. #4thcentury #ancientrome #april #april30 #constantine #cartographer #constantinei #easternromanempire #europe #europeanhistory #geopolitics #historicalplace #history #historydegree #historyfacts #historylover #historymajor #historyschool #maps #riskgame #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #teachinghistory #westernromanempire #worldatlas #newmap (at Çorlu)

NEW MAP: Europe 310: Maximian’s Last Stand (July 310) https://buff.ly/2TMJFoo Maximinus Daza refused to accept the rulings at Carnuntum and demanded to be made an Augustus. Reluctantly, Galerius backed down, initially acknowledging Maximinus and Constantine as ‘Sons of Augusti’ then, after Maximinus threatened to rebel, recognizing them both as full Augusti in 310. That year Constantine faced his own problems when his father-in-law Maximian emerged from retirement in Viennensis and proclaimed himself emperor again. However, Maximian found little support and was forced to kill himself when Constantine’s army arrived. #4thcentury #ancientrome #constantine #constantinethegreat #constantinei #maximian #easternromanempire #europeanhistory #gaul #historian #historias #historic #historicalmap #historisch #historybuff #historydegree #historylover #historylovers #historyschool #instahistory #maps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romanitaly #romans #westernromanempire #worldhistory (at Arles, France)

Asia Pacific 80 years ago today: Franco-Thai War (13 April 1941) https://buff.ly/2wF7iUo Thailand saw the French capitulation to Japan as weakness, seizing the opportunity to regain lost territories by invading French Indochina. The Japanese quickly put a stop to this war, but supported Thai claims at the ensuing peace treaty. With its focus now on the south, Japan signed a neutrality pact with the Soviet Union. #1941 #april #april13 #asiapacific #frenchindochina #indochine #vichyfrance #frenchempire #historias #histories #historybuff #historygram #historylovers #historymaker #historyschool #instahistory #japaneseempire #japanesehistory #maps #worldwar2 #wwii #ww2 #worldwarii #thailand #secondworldwar #britishempire #worldatlas #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Bangkok, Thailand)

North America 160 years ago today: Attack on Fort Sumter (12 April 1861) https://buff.ly/2P4fceF Despite the Confederacy’s declaration of independence, the United States Army still garrisoned a number of forts in the south. The most vulnerable was Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor, South Carolina, which desperately needed to be resupplied. However when newly elected US President Lincoln ordered the navy to ship in supplies, the Confederate government considered it an act of war and attacked the fort from land. The American Civil War had begun. #1861 #19thcentury #americancivilwar #americanhistory #april #april12 #confederacy #fortsumter #historicalmaps #histories #historyfacts #historygram #historymajor #historymatters #historyschool #mapping #maps #northamerica #southcarolina #militaryhistory #ushistory #uscivilwar #confederatestates #victorian #victorianera #abrahamlincoln #worldatlas #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Fort Sumter Tours)

NEW MAP: Europe 272: Battle of Immae (spring 272) https://buff.ly/2NHTXD1 While traveling east to face Zenobia, Aurelian concluded that Dacia was indefensible and pulled the remaining legions from that province south of the Danube. He then crossed into Asia Minor in early 272 and, marching rapidly on Syria, defeated Zenobia at Immae a few months later. #3rdcentury #ancientrome #cappadocia #dacia #europe #europeanhistory #galatia #historic #historisch #history #historybuff #historydegree #historyschool #maps #aurelian #moesia #oldmaps #palmyra #spqr #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #imperialrome #romans #romansyria #palmyra #zenobia #newmap (at Antakya, Hatay)
