History
Watch the ground change hands. Every arrow is something a flag page in this atlas says happened: an army that came, a people who left, a state that took another. Pick a chapter, or drag the years.

Click any arrow or dot to read what the flag page says, and open the page it came from.
An arrow to a country joins the two countries' label points. An arrow to an empire or a people starts at the seat it ruled from or the country it came from. A dashed stub means the page names no second place. None of these is a route.
