War and Geography

“Those who do not know the conditions of mountains and forests, hazardous defiles, marshes and swamps, cannot conduct the march of an army.”   SUN TZU, THE ART OF WAR


There has always been a potent and omnipresent synergy between the environment, or physical geography, and battle. 

Over the centuries efforts to dominate an adversary by military force have led to a grim progression of weapons, techniques, and principles, all designed more or less to gain control of space and lines of communication. Furthermore, aggressive human endeavor and the resulting repetition of conflict make it a near certainty that even more formidable and destructive wartime devices will appear in the future. Through all of this, past, present, and future, it is clear that basic elements of geography are always important factors in the conduct and outcome of battle.

Thus, by examining connections between a number of military operations and their basic geographic components, this class will show seemingly evident factors such as weather, climate, terrain, soil, and vegetation are important, cogent, and sometimes decisive in combat. It also demonstrates that war and the environment are intertwined in a complex, diverse, and often capricious fashion, the result being an ever-varying military cacophony incorporating repetition, counterpoint, juxtaposition, inversion, and reversal, all within the evolving framework of space and time. That is, comparisons of battles affected in a major way by one environmental factor may, in some cases, reveal distinct similarities and parallels, while in other conflicts the setting and outcome may be very different because of changes in circumstance technology, and judgment. One characteristic, however, remains unchanging; in combat an environmental advantage for one side always means some degree of misfortune for the other, and that situation can easily reverse itself on the next battlefield.

To keep things in proper perspective the student should know that this class is not intended to be a newly definitive work in military history or a technical analysis of contemporary physical geography. Instead it combines established facts and concepts from both disciplines to show that relationships between the environment and combat are highly variable, often unpredictable, and always formidable. 

Finally, the overarching message of the following lessons is that, despite the evolving technology in warfare, physical geography has a continuous, powerful, and profound effect on the nature and course of combat.

As a Social Studies teacher with 30 years experience and a huge fan of everything D&D I am very excited for this opportunity to share my enthusiasm and knowledge with Outschool students interested in Military History. Classes similar to the ones I have recently taught, I will bring to Outschool soon (e.g., The Greek hoplite experience during the Peloponnesian War). As an AP World & European teacher with overseas GCSE/A-Level/I.B. History experience I have thoroughly immersed myself in Ancient, Medieval and Modern History for the last thirty years. With a B.A. in History, a B.S. in Education and a M.A. in Military History I feel that I have a great deal of knowledge to subtly "sneak" into the fun and enjoyment during our classes.
